Our Sustainability Strategies

As Türkiye’s integrated telecom operator with nearly 53 million subscribers, over 37 thousand employees, and a widespread sales and dealer network, we are aware of the impact that our communication infrastructure has on the country’s development. Our strategic decisions are guided by this awareness and our commitment to responsibility. Our sustainability strategy centres our transformation process on our employees, their families, suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. We aim to leave a healthy planet for future generations by adhering to sustainability principles in our business processes. We do not work with or finance individuals or groups that deny the existence of climate change. Furthermore, we commit to refraining from engaging in any activities opposing climate-related legal regulations. Within the scope of environmental sustainability, we are taking significant steps with our stakeholders. We reduce our impact on energy resources through energy efficiency projects and turn to alternative energy sources. In terms of social sustainability, we aim to increase society’s access to information through projects focusing on accessibility for all, digital inclusion, digital equality, and digital literacy. Our digital transformation projects focus on meeting customer expectations. We prioritise protecting the well-being of our employees and customers by taking precautions for their health and safety. Additionally, we conduct reporting in accordance with the principles of transparency and accountability adhering to a sustainable governance approach. We collaborate with local suppliers and place a large emphasis on job creation in order to support the local economy.
