Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)

Aware of its responsibilities in preventing the climate crisis—the greatest environmental challenge facing humanity—Türk Telekom participates in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) to evaluate its performance and report emissions arising from its entire value chain.

Our determination to implement our climate action plans is also reflected in international scoring platforms. In 2023, we moved to the Management level in the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project - Disclosure, Insight, Action) assessment, receiving a ‘B’ rating. In 2024, we took this success even further, advancing by four levels over the last two years to reach the ‘A’ Leadership level, securing our place on CDP’s Global A List.

In line with our goal of aligning with global standards in the fight against climate change, in 2024, for the first time, we created a comprehensive carbon inventory for the Türk Telekom Group. Taking 2020 as a baseline, we calculated our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions for the past four years (2020-2023) and expanded our emission management to cover all our group companies. Thanks to this comprehensive effort, across Türk Telekom Group, we have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 45% by 2030, compared to the 2020 baseline, and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. In line with this commitment, we calculate our carbon inventory using scientific methods, carry out verification processes according to international standards, and confirm the reliability of our emissions data through third-party independent audits.

In the upcoming period, in addition to the Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets we have set, we will focus on managing our carbon footprint more effectively with long-term goals that also include Scope 3 emissions reduction targets.
