BRAC Bank ranks among top sustainable banks for 5th year

BRAC Bank has been recognised by the Bangladesh Bank as one of the top sustainable banks in the country for the fifth consecutive year, a distinction it has held every year since the rating's inception in 2020, according to a press release.
The central bank's Sustainability Rating assesses banks and financial institutions across five indicators: Sustainable Finance Index, CSR activities, green refinance, Core Banking Sustainability Index, and Banking Services Coverage.
The consistent recognition reflects BRAC Bank's institutional strength in governance, responsible lending, and risk-adjusted capital management.
In 2024, BRAC Bank achieved 94 per cent disbursement in sustainable finance against the regulatory target of 20 per cent, and 17 per cent in green finance, surpassing the 5 per cent benchmark.
Tareq Refat Ullah Khan, managing director & CEO (Current Charge), said: "Sustainability is embedded in our core strategy. This recognition reaffirms our belief that responsible banking is resilient banking. We remain committed to scaling our green and inclusive financing efforts to support national sustainable development goals."
