IPDC Finance PLC has been recognised as the top sustainable finance company in the Bangladesh Bank Sustainability Rating 2024 in the country's financial sector.
This recognition highlights IPDC's excellence across key sustainability indicators, including green and sustainable financing, integration of ESG principles into core operations, impactful CSR activities, and inclusive banking services.
The Bangladesh Bank rating, introduced in 2020, is based on a comprehensive framework that evaluates banks and NBFIs across five categories: Sustainable Finance Index, Green Project Financing, CSR initiatives, Core Banking Sustainability Index, and Banking Services Coverage.
IPDC's approach goes beyond compliance to create long-term value for the environment, economy and society.
The company has introduced innovative green finance products supporting renewable energy, energy efficiency, and environmentally responsible industrial practices. Through partnerships under green refinancing schemes, IPDC has been enabling businesses and individuals to adopt sustainable operations.
This year, Bangladesh Bank recognised a total of 10 banks and two non-bank financial institutions for their contributions to sustainability. IPDC's top ranking among these institutions sets a new benchmark in the industry.
