Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee, which operates under the leadership of the CEO and reports directly to the Board of Directors, is responsible for the management of Türk Telekom’s sustainability performance. The Committee evaluates our Company’s sustainability performance together with the business strategy and integrates the determined approaches into all our business processes. In order to ensure the efficient execution of our processes, we develop our strategy together with representatives from different units through our committee, monitor the targets we have set and inform the Board of Directors. Within this structure composed of our company employees, we carry out the implementation, monitoring and reporting of environmental performance as part of our daily operations. Through this structure, we implement environmental management activities in a coordinated manner across the company.
Through our Sustainability Committee;
• We develop policies and strategic approaches that will enable us to achieve our sustainability targets.
• We integrate our sustainability approach into all business processes and implement the projects we develop accordingly.
• We monitor the efforts towards our sustainability targets and conduct performance evaluations.
• We determine our sustainability priorities and plan the necessary actions in these areas.
• By evaluating emerging sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities, we ensure the development of short-, medium and long-term action plans.
The unit responsible for coordinating the activities of our Sustainability Committee is the Investor Relations and Sustainability Directorate. Based on the meeting invitations made by the Committee Chair through the Board Secretariat, the Committee convenes twice a year to evaluate our sustainability performance, monitors the implementation of sustainability strategies across the company together with our Directorate and conducts the coordination of sustainability reporting processes. We define the duties and responsibilities of our Sustainability Committee within the “Sustainability Committee Working Principles”, enact them through a Board of Directors decision and revise them with Board approval when deemed necessary.
In order to increase the effectiveness of sustainability efforts, we established sub-working groups affiliated with the Sustainability Committee. Through these working groups, we ensure that operational processes are carried out in alignment with our sustainability policies. In addition, when necessary, we may benefit from independent expert opinions for the activities of our Committee with the approval of the Board of Directors.
Within the scope of our active participation in global climate governance and sectoral collaborations, we continue our membership in GSMA Climate Action Taskforce in 2025. Through this platform, we participate in joint efforts aimed at monitoring the progress of mobile operators towards their climate targets, improving reporting practices and increasing sectoral transparency. Bringing together operators representing more than 80% of mobile connections worldwide, GSMA is an important global collaboration platform that aims to accelerate the sector’s net-zero transition, and as Türk Telekom, we continue to contribute to global climate action within this scope.
We prepare our Integrated Annual Report with the contributions of the relevant business units and under the coordination of the Investor Relations and Sustainability Directorate and share it with the public following the approvals of the Sustainability Committee and the Board of Directors.
