Green transition financing Qorus Reinvention Awards - Europe 2025 - Winner

Banking sector plays a crucial role in transition towards sustainable and climate resilient economy. The green bonds directly channel investments into projects bringing positive environmental impact. In Slovakia, the green buildings, implementation of renewable energy, and clean transportation projects contribute to lowering the country's carbon footprint. In order to meet the true environmental potential of green bonds, transparency and accuracy of collected data is essential. Thus, internal management tool, ESG Portfolio Application, was developed to collect and evaluate data confirming the greenness of the financed projects. Tatra banka believes that precise data management is the key step in evaluating environmental impact of financed projects. The application was developed using in-house resources with the involvement of multiple departments - Treasury, ESG team, IT and business.
