Almaty, 23 September 2025

Eurasian Bank presented the second Sustainability Report in its history. The document covers 2024 and is prepared in accordance with the international standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards 2021), the Disclosure of Information Related to Climate IFRS S2 Standard, as well as the recommendations of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARDFM).

In the reporting year, the Bank demonstrated an increase in key indicators, expanded its range of services for individuals and legal entities, and continued to implement digital solutions. Investments were also made in technological infrastructure, partnerships were strengthened, and projects significant to the economy and society were implemented.

Among the key innovations is the introduction of the dual materiality assessment practice, which allows for a comprehensive analysis of both the impact of the Bank activities on the economy, society and the environment, as well as the impact of external ESG factors on the sustainability of the business model. For the first time, funded greenhouse gas emissions were calculated, which quantified the carbon footprint of the loan portfolio. Climate stress testing was conducted, which confirmed the Bank’s resilience to various climate change scenarios.

The environmental agenda remains one of the priorities. In addition to developing a green office, improving energy efficiency, and reducing paperwork, Eurasian Bank was the first bank in Kazakhstan to join the Priceless Planet Coalition, a global Mastercard initiative in 2024 that aims to plant 100 million trees worldwide.

In honor of this, the Bank employees planted an alley of pink chestnuts in Almaty. In addition, together with Mastercard, a new Eco Card design was presented, with 1% of transaction bonuses going to landscaping and waste recycling projects.

Social responsibility is an important part of the strategy. The Bank supported social initiatives in the fields of education, healthcare, culture and sports.

A separate area is the development of corporate culture and caring for employees: training programs are conducted, conditions for career growth and a safe working environment are created. In the jubilee year, for the first time, the Initiatives with a Soul contest of volunteer projects was held among the Bank employees. The winners of the competition received grants to implement their own charitable projects.

“2024 was a special year for Eurasian Bank: we celebrated the 30th anniversary, completed an important stage of the strategic cycle and presented the second sustainability report. By applying the ESG principles in practice, the Bank builds a strategy with a view to long-term sustainability. We strive to ensure that the Bank’s contribution to the economy is always accompanied by responsibility towards society and nature,” said Lyazzat Satiyeva, CEO of Eurasian Bank.
