Turkey's commercial vehicle brand Anadolu Isuzu has made a commitment to
the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) in line with its
sustainability-oriented actions. By joining to the international Science-Based
Goals Initiative in line with the importance it attaches to sustainability and
environmental protection, Anadolu Isuzu has taken its place among the leading
companies that have committed to reducing the greenhouse gas emission levels
arising from its activities.
Being established in 2015 by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the
United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the
World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Science-Based Target Initiative, aims to
evaluate and promote the efforts of institutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
to combat climate change. The initiative, which strives to prevent global
warming in line with the targets set in the Paris Agreement, encourages
companies to develop their greenhouse gas reduction targets in line with common
standards.
Anadolu Isuzu participated in the 'Drive to Zero' initiative, which was
launched with the joint venture of the leading sectoral unions and companies of
the global automotive industry at the beginning of 2022. Aiming to reach the
100% zero emission target in the sales of new trucks and buses by 2040 in the
production of commercial vehicles, the Drive to Zero initiative admits the
leading industrial companies that have declared that they will continue their
activities in line with the determined targets.
Anadolu Isuzu General Manager Tuğrul Arıkan stated “As Anadolu Isuzu, we
attach great importance to environmental protection and sustainability. We
respond to the increasing demand for environmentally friendly vehicles from the
world's municipalities and transportation operators with the 100% electric and
alternative fuel buses we produce in our country. Having signed the
international Science-Based Targets Initiative in line with our goal of
minimizing greenhouse gas emissions arising from our production processes and
activities is another indicator of our determination regarding the issue. Recently,
we have joined the international Drive to Zero initiative. Following the
European Green Consensus, we also started the 'Environmental Actions' move to
quickly adapt to the low carbon economy strategy system and turn the burden of
additional Carbon Tax into an opportunity with a possible Emissions Trading
System. In this context, we are accelerating our energy efficiency and
renewable energy investments. We improve our environmental performance continuously
with our meticulously implemented environmental policies and environmental
management system, and share our efforts towards this direction through the
'Sustainability Report'. As Anadolu Isuzu, we will continue working with the
goal of a livable world for future generations.”
