The bank's climate commitments and strategies remain vague, with no documented climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets available. As a financial institution, BGK is positioned within an industry increasingly focused on sustainability, yet it appears to be in the early stages of formalising its climate action plans.
