Manifesto
We are living through one of the fastest and most radical periods of transformation in human history. Risks and trends such as the climate crisis, limited natural resources, demographic shifts, technological change, digital transformation and epidemics are compelling societies, businesses, and individuals to adapt. Now more than ever, the corporate world bears the responsibility not merely to keep pace with this change, but also to contribute to solving problems through effective risk management. This is due to the fact that we cannot sustain indefinite exponential growth on a finite planet.
At Zorlu Holding, we respond to this change with our Smart Life 2030 strategy. Guided by our responsible investment-oriented holding approach that seeks to broaden horizons, we focus on creating the highest value across environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas – investing in our Group, our companies, stakeholders, society, and the future.
We adopt an integrated thinking and management approach based on multiple forms of capital in managing non-financial capitals such as human, intellectual, and natural capital. We respond to global challenges within our sectors, guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We actively contribute to achieving global goals and recognize that the solutions we develop to address today's ESG challenges must be equitable, inclusive, and fair to ensure social well-being. With this belief, we invest in people-centered ecosystems and regenerative business models, while drawing strength from our radical collaborations.
We embrace an active ownership approach to ESG and aim to empower our companies to manage risks and opportunities effectively. We guide them to ensure transparent performance disclosure and to achieve the key targets we have set.
We conduct our reporting processes in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and structure them within the framework of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) Communication on Progress (CoP). We make our contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals visible and disclose them transparently in our reports, in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
We urge all our stakeholders to integrate this awareness into their activities and decision-making processes through our Group companies active in sectors from energy and textiles to white goods and technology.
Because we know that every step we take today shapes a better world!
