Step by Step to Sustainability
Global climate change has become one of the most critical issues, drawing attention from individuals, businesses, countries, and international organizations alike. In this context, it is vital for businesses to fulfill their responsibilities in environmental sustainability and control their greenhouse gas emissions. Acting with this awareness, we have obtained the ISO 14064 Greenhouse Gas Verification Statement.
What is ISO 14064?
ISO 14064 is an international standard for the management and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions. It provides organizations with the tools to calculate and transparently report their greenhouse gas emissions. Obtaining the ISO 14064 certificate is a significant step for businesses aiming to reduce their carbon footprint.
Why is it Important?
The ISO 14064 verification statement serves as proof that we are fulfilling our environmental responsibilities. With this standard, we achieve the following benefits:
• Measurement and Management of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: We can measure and manage our emissions more effectively.
• Transparency and Reliability: By transparently reporting our sustainability policies, we gain the trust of our stakeholders.
• Legal Compliance: We minimize risks by adhering to relevant environmental regulations.
• Competitive Advantage: We move toward becoming a preferred brand for environmentally conscious customers.
What Have We Done in the Process?
To achieve ISO 14064 certification, we meticulously analyzed every step of our processes, from sourcing raw materials to manufacturing in our factories and transportation activities. Based on the data obtained from these analyses, we set targets to reduce our carbon emissions.
Currently, the main steps we are taking to reduce our carbon footprint include:
• Solar Energy Systems (SES): We initiated a solar energy project in Çamoluk, Giresun, with the capacity to generate 1,000 kWh of energy per month.
• Renewable Energy Use: We have completed preparations to transition to renewable energy sources in our factories.
• Waste Reduction: We implemented practices to reuse and recycle waste generated during production processes.
• Energy Efficiency: We optimized our factory machinery and supply chain to improve energy efficiency.
