In line with the policies and principles we have adopted, we focus on preventing the potential negative impacts of our operations and the projects we finance on the environment, and contributing to the fight against the global climate crisis.
Our sustainability journey started with the efficient use of consumed natural resources. We also created an equal, fair, and inclusive work environment through the human resources policies we have implemented for purposes of equal opportunity, an integral part of sustainable development and social welfare.
We reduced consumption by aiming to minimize paper consumption in our operations and carrying out activities to switch to digital media.
We provided guidance for the energy consumption habits of our personnel through awareness-raising activities, resulting in a nearly 15 percent reduction in energy expenditures. We switched to efficient lighting in office areas and controlled the use of electrical energy by ensuring that lighting was turned off automatically when not in use, performing periodic maintenance of lighting elements, and using components such as timers or proximity sensors.
We closely monitored energy consumption performance by analyzing energy performance and reference charts and achieved results by making the necessary warnings and taking corrective actions in areas with increased consumption.
