TCFD Report: Commitment to Carbon-Free Growth

Believing that increasing the use of renewable energy is one of the most critical components of the transition to a low-carbon economy, Zorlu Enerji has long focused exclusively on renewable energy investments, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The company has committed to producing 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. In addition to decarbonizing its own operations, it also supports its customers in pursuing carbon-free growth and aims to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2040.
Zorlu Enerji also places importance on biodiversity — a challenge as urgent as the climate crisis. The company continues to invest in the preservation and restoration of biodiversity in the regions where it operates.
"We Continue to Build on Our Achievements"
Emphasizing their sustainability- and renewable energy-focused vision, Zorlu Enerji CEO Elif Yener commented:
“The results of these reports, which reflect our improving ESG performance, make us proud and confirm our pioneering role in sustainability within our sector. We were the first energy company in Turkey to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which encourages companies to set science-based targets for reducing carbon emissions. We are also among the first Turkish companies to publish CDP Forest and TCFD reports.
Our second-place ranking among 338 companies in LSEG’s ESG performance evaluation and our score increase from 49 to 74 in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment reflect the success of our sustainability-oriented strategy. Across all of our activities — from producing energy from renewables to leading the energy transition — we will continue to minimize risks and generate positive impact. Moving forward, we will focus on R&D and future technologies, enhancing our operations with the goal of increasing resource diversification.”
