Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary emphasized that sustainability is central to the
bank’s strategy. He stated that the institution is building a digital-first,
ESG-focused model aimed at long-term impact, integrating responsible practices
across all operations.
The bank’s ESG strategy includes
green financing, responsible operations, and financial inclusion. It has
disbursed PKR 2.9 billion in green financing to support clean energy solutions
and e-mobility initiatives, such as solar systems and electric bikes for
underserved communities. Its transition to renewable energy across 35% of
branches further reinforces its move toward low-carbon operations.

goals, Mobilink Bank is also developing a data-driven decarbonization framework
through an automated ESG platform, with baseline emissions currently measured
at 4,489 metric tons of CO₂.
In addition to environmental
efforts, the bank continues to promote social inclusion. In 2025, it supported
over 31,000 women through financial inclusion programs and is managing a PKR
50.30 billion loan portfolio to improve access to finance for small businesses.
Its community initiatives include
installing solar power at a Digital Arts Lab at Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government
Girls School in partnership with Zindagi Trust, benefiting hundreds of
students, as well as clean water projects that have improved access for more
than 1,000 students.
