Reflecting on the company's consistent recognition in the S&P Global CSA, CEO Hakan Bulgurlu said, "Achieving net-zero emissions in line with the 1.5°C climate pathway is our ultimate priority. To realize this vision, we are continuously developing advanced technologies to improve the energy efficiency of our products while reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, we are scaling up investments in renewable energy and bolstering our capabilities. It is rewarding to see these efforts recognized globally as proof that we are on the right track. Sustainability is not just a goal—it's a responsibility we owe to our business, our planet, and to future generations."
