General Information

DenizBank, which works to build our country and the future, puts its signature under the work aimed at developing social consciousness and social responsibility projects!

Features

Our Social Responsibility Policy

Today, many institutions aim to interact with society not only through their commercial and financial services, but also through social responsibility projects in terms of catering to society. As DenizBank, a large family with its business partners, shareholders, employees and customers, we take steps that make a difference in many social projects independently of our products and services. While implementing projects that will contribute to social development in different areas, we shape our activities with the principle of openness and transparency in accordance with the principles of corporate governance.

By leading and contributing to projects aimed at developing social consciousness in the fields of education, culture, art and sports, we strive to work with all our might for the modern and conscious Turkey Atatürk aimed for. We aim to support the contribution made by our financial activities, which are connected with the sustainable future and the economies of the country, by spreading it to social areas. With many objectives such as protecting the rich accumulation of culture - art and cultural values, supporting and developing them through new initiatives, and supporting the achievements of individuals in the international arena, DenizBank focuses on a wide range of projects that will contribute to the country's development. In order to raise awareness of history, we consider it our mission to carry our national accumulation of knowledge into the future by enriching the publications of DenizKultur, which we have established with the aim of sharing scientific and objective research with a wide audience. Since financial welfare by itself cannot benefit society, we maintain our level of quality in social responsibility projects and the future just as we do in banking services by building our own language with the support of our “Deniz crew”. We consider supporting those in need with donations and help in all areas that require social solidarity as a basic principle of our sense of social responsibility.
