Mobilink Bank is setting a new standard for sustainable banking in Pakistan, rapidly advancing its ESG-led transformation to become one of the country’s most forward-looking and responsible financial institutions. With over one-third of its nationwide branch network now powered by renewable energy, the Bank is leading the shift toward low-carbon and inclusive finance at scale, demonstrating how sustainability can drive both growth and social impact.
During a recent visit to Mobilink Bank, Kaan Terzioglu, Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of VEON Group, reviewed the Bank’s digital-first operating model, customer-focused innovations, and sustainability initiatives. Engaging directly with customers, Terzioglu observed how the Bank is delivering secure, accessible, and future-ready financial services across Pakistan. He highlighted Mobilink Bank’s efforts in green financing and digital financial inclusion, noting the institution as a benchmark for responsible growth in emerging markets.
Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, President and CEO of Mobilink Bank, emphasized that sustainability is embedded into the Bank’s growth strategy rather than treated as a parallel agenda. He outlined the Bank’s vision of building Pakistan’s leading bank for small businesses through a model that is digital-first, ESG-driven, and designed for long-term impact. This approach encompasses renewable-powered operations, green financing, and broad financial inclusion.
Mobilink Bank’s ESG-led strategy focuses on three core areas: green financing, responsible operations, and inclusive growth. The Bank has allocated PKR 2.9 billion in green financing to support clean energy and green mobility solutions, including solar system installations and e-bike financing for underserved segments. Simultaneously, the transition to renewable energy across 35% of its branch network underscores a firm commitment to low-carbon operations.
To institutionalize its sustainability agenda, Mobilink Bank is developing a data-driven decarbonization framework through an automated ESG platform. The Bank has established baseline emissions of 4,489 metric tons of CO₂, creating a foundation for transparent emissions tracking and long-term reduction targets.
Beyond environmental responsibility, the Bank is actively promoting social inclusion. In 2025, over 31,000 women benefited from targeted financial inclusion programs, while a PKR 50.30 billion gross loan portfolio supports small businesses across Pakistan, expanding equitable access to finance. Community-focused initiatives include the solarization of a Digital Arts Lab at Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls School in partnership with Zindagi Trust, benefiting 310 students, and a clean water project improving access for over 1,000 students.
By integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into every layer of its operations, Mobilink Bank is positioning itself as a catalyst for systemic change. Its ESG-led model demonstrates how sustainable banking can drive economic empowerment, environmental responsibility, and digital innovation, contributing to a more inclusive and future-ready Pakistan.
