Combating Climate Change
Combating Climate Change and Emission Management
As Türkiye Sigorta, we carry out our work in line with our strategy to combat climate change in order to reduce the environmental impacts of climate change.
Key elements of our strategy to combat climate change are summarized as follows;
Ensuring that the Board of Directors manages climate risks and opportunities by integrating them into corporate strategy and risk management,
Analyzing well how climate risk affects products, operations and value chains,
Reporting scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol,
To set a net zero carbon target in line with the national target,
Setting corporate decarbonization targets based on science,
Reporting progress on an annual basis against pre-determined and consistent targets
In addition to the inclusion of our value chain, which we operationally define as external factors, and the work we continue in this context, we strive to minimize our environmental footprint in terms of internal factors within the scope of combating climate change. Greenhouse gases from our operations are a result of the total energy consumed by the Head Office and Regional Directorates throughout the year. Energy consumption consists of electricity purchased for lighting, heating and cooling (air conditioners), natural gas purchased for heating, as well as fuel consumption for daily activities (vehicle use and employee transportation).
As of 2025, our energy consumption amounted to 20,639 GJ. Our headquarters building meets 98% of its electrical energy needs from YEK-G certified renewable energy. In line with our emission reduction targets, central heating and cooling systems and energy-efficient equipment are used. In this context, we aim to reduce our energy consumption by 15% by 2030.
In 2025, we implemented comprehensive digitalization initiatives to prevent waste generation at its source. Within this scope, we transitioned to a digital business card application by discontinuing the use of physical business cards for more than 1,100 employees. In addition, by effectively utilizing the Belgenet system, we transferred all approval processes to an e-signature infrastructure, fully digitalizing paper-based workflows. Through this transformation, we prevented 4,260 shipments, resulting in savings of approximately 21,300 A4 sheets of paper and generating TRY 724,200 in operational cost savings. In line with our vision of building a sustainable future, we remain committed to fulfilling our environmental responsibility by developing circular economy–oriented strategies and contributing to a more livable world for future generations.
As of 2025, our greenhouse gas emissions have been calculated as 1,149 tonnes of CO₂e for Scope 1, 565 tonnes of CO₂e for Scope 2 location-based, 11 tonnes of CO₂e for Scope 2 market-based, and 227,084 tonnes of CO₂e for Scope 3. In particular, we have included investment-related emissions in the calculation of our Scope 3 emissions to ensure transparency.
In order to increase the environmental awareness of our employees, 1,199 hours of environmental and energy efficiency training was organized. As of 2025, 20,000 saplings were donated on behalf of all our employees and agencies as part of our Company's 5th anniversary.
With its responsible insurance, zero waste, carbon management and supplier management teams, Türkiye Sigorta will continue its efforts to achieve its 2053 net zero targets.
