In a rapidly changing financial world, WIFAK Bank is taking a historic step by publishing its first ESG Extra-Financial Report for the 2024 financial year, a first in the Islamic banking sector in Tunisia.
More than just an accountability report, this document reflects a vision where religious ethics and sustainable performance are one.
For WIFAK Bank, sustainable development is not an imported concept, but a natural extension of its Islamic values. Since its creation, the institution has relied on the principles of participatory finance to build a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach based on three pillars:
Ethics in transactions.
Balancing interests between the bank and its partners.
Concrete positive impact on the real economy.
“Performance is only fully sustainable when it is part of a human, balanced, and long-term oriented vision.”
Although young and dynamic, WIFAK Bank makes no compromises on the rigor of its management. To structure and measure its impact, the bank has aligned its strategy with global reference frameworks of excellence:
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The ISO 26000 standard, relating to social responsibility of organizations.
The GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) standards, guaranteeing total transparency in the communication of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) data.
Present in the heart of the regions, WIFAK Bank asserts itself as a local player. By managing its ESG risks and promoting financial inclusion, it proves that economic profitability can – and must – coexist with social well-being and environmental preservation.
By publishing this report, WIFAK Bank is not just following a trend; it is paving the way for a more responsible, transparent Tunisian finance sector, resolutely turned towards the future.
