Despite recent economic challenges, Türkiye is showing signs of stabilization, particularly with inflation being a key priority for the government, which is a positive signal for the business community. As an emerging market, Türkiye faces certain obstacles, but it also holds immense potential. With our vision of ‘Sabancı of the World,’ we are determined to unlock this potential both domestically and globally."*

By focusing on energy and climate technologies, material technologies, and mobility and digital solutions, we are placing Sabancı at the forefront of the global sustainable economy,” he added.

Sabancı Holding’s commitment to sustainability has already seen significant progress, with more than $2 billion allocated to investments in renewable energy and material technologies. The Group is on track to reduce its carbon footprint by 42% in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, aligning with global sustainability targets. Furthermore, Sabancı has set ambitious goals to achieve net-zero emissions and waste by 2050.
