Sustainability is in Our Nature

We act with an awareness of protecting our planet’s limited resources and embrace a production approach that considers not only today's but also future needs. For us, sustainability is not just a goal—it is the cornerstone of our business culture.

Through practices that respect ecological balance, adhere to ethical values, and ensure transparency and traceability, we fulfill our responsibilities toward both the environment and our stakeholders.

We Measure Our Carbon Footprint, We Enlighten the Future

We are fully aware of our responsibility in combating the climate crisis. In this context:

• We calculate our corporate carbon footprint annually in accordance with international standards and transparently report our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
• Under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), we prepare quarterly emission reports based on requests from our customers.

As Renkler Makina, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and contributing to a sustainable future. Our dedication to reducing carbon emissions is reflected in recent data:

We achieved 53% reduction in CO2e intensity (per unit sales) as of 2024.

We are Evaluated, We Evolve

Our sustainability practices are not only monitored internally but also evaluated on international platforms:

We voluntarily participate in the EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment every year.

In our latest assessment in 2024, we were awarded the Bronze Medal, demonstrating our strong commitment across areas ranging from business ethics to environmental sensitivity.

In the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) climate change report for 2024, we received a B Score. This score stands out as the highest level achieved among small and medium-sized enterprises and reflects our strong commitment to climate transparency.

We Generate Our Own Energy, We Reduce Carbon

With our rooftop Solar Power Plant (SPP), we have taken a significant step in clean energy production:

• Our energy infrastructure includes a total of 5,986 solar panels, 24 inverters, and an installed capacity of 3,322.23 kWp.
• This investment not only reduces our energy costs but also decreases our carbon emissions—honoring our responsibility to nature.
• We are registered with FOTON, Turkey's national carbon registry platform. Through this system, we convert our solar-generated electricity into carbon credits and obtain renewable energy self-consumption certificates, proving that our consumed electricity comes from clean sources.
• In this way, we are moving forward toward the Net Zero goal with confidence and accountability.

Production That Preserves Its Source

Increasing efficiency in the use of energy and natural resources is an essential part of sustainable manufacturing. In this direction:

• We implement technologies in our production processes that provide energy and process gas savings.
• Through heat recovery projects activated within factory systems, we both reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impacts.
• These projects not only demonstrate our environmental responsibility but also offer significant advantages in sustainable cost management.

Circular Economy & Social Responsibility

• We manage our waste and implement waste separation practices in production and office areas to return recyclable materials back to nature.
• We regularly conduct internal trainings and awareness activities to enhance environmental awareness among our employees.
• We clearly define our expectations from suppliers and integrate sustainability principles into every stage of our value chain.
• Every year, we donate 400 saplings to TEMA Foundation, contributing to nature and supporting the reduction of our carbon footprint.

Our Roadmap

Our future goals include:

• Becoming a Net Zero Carbon Company,
• Investing in recyclable packaging and sustainable production technologies,
• Utilizing green steel,
• Evaluating our existing charging infrastructure to transition to electric and/or hybrid vehicle use,
• Periodically sharing sustainability reports with our stakeholders,
• Measuring Scope 3 emissions and transitioning to a full-scale carbon footprint reporting system,
• Establishing a sustainable supply chain management system.
