In 2024, Bank al Etihad booked 206.6 million JOD in green loans, which now account for 6.28% of its portfolio, with a 2025 target of 0.25 billion JOD. 

Oversight rests with the Risk Board Committee, supported by policies such as a Sustainability Policy, Sustainable Finance Framework, and Carbon Footprint Management Framework. The bank has also advanced climate scenario analysis and stress testing, embedding physical and transition risks into capital planning and credit processes. 

On the reporting front, Bank al Etihad published Jordan’s first IFRS S2- aligned Climate Report alongside GRI reporting. As a PCAF signatory, it has disclosed financed emissions at bank level and will expand to group-wide reporting within two years. 

In addition, 90% of the bank's employees, including frontline staff and executives, completed sustainability training. Operationally, the bank reached 86.1% automation, adopted FSC-certified materials, installed 30 EV chargers, and began measuring its footprint. Its Abdoun branch became Jordan’s first to earn LEED Platinum certification, while solar panels now provide 74% of its electricity and cut more than 2,480 tons of CO₂ annually. 

The bank’s financing has been instrumental in generating measurable environmental impact across several sectors. It has supported the expansion of Jordan’s national EV charging network through a leading sector client and enabled a major food manufacturer to improve resource efficiency by upgrading its machinery. 

In parallel, the bank is introducing a carbon footprint calculator designed to provide customers with personalized insights into their consumption patterns based on card transactions. 

This combined focus on large-scale industrial initiatives and individual behavioral change reflects the bank’s comprehensive approach to advancing a sustainable economy. 

This leadership earned the bank global recognition, including Euromoney’s “Best Bank for ESG in Jordan” and “International Finance’s Most Innovative ESG Initiatives,” among other awards. 
