Environment
Addressing environmental sustainability under the titles of reducing climate change effects, water risks and management, effective waste management, and use of renewable energy sources and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; Anadolu Isuzu continues its investments to reduce its environmental footprint throughout the value chain.
Environmental Management System
Anadolu Isuzu monitors all its activities within the framework of the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. Acting with a sense of responsibility, Anadolu Isuzu carries out studies in cooperation with its stakeholders to reduce the environmental impacts that that arise during the production process, along with its direct impacts on the environment. The basis of its environmental management approach is based on the main principles stated in the Anadolu Isuzu Environmental Policy.
Transition to a Low Carbon Economy
Anadolu Isuzu prioritizes the climate crisis in all axes and continues the necessary decarbonization efforts and investment decisions in this direction. In addition to reducing emissions originating from our production cycle, we also aim being a role model in raising awareness of the climate crisis throughout our supply chain. Anadolu Isuzu is determined to contribute to the fight against the climate crisis by reducing its ecological footprint in the production and trade cycle. Our strategies to fight climate change are carried out in line with the Anadolu Isuzu Strategic Business Plan and the Net Zero roadmap.
Anadolu Isuzu focuses on reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions throughout its production processes. In this context, the company carries out studies to minimize the impact of its processes and products on the environment. Towards its way to decarbonization, a Solar Power Plant investment with an installed capacity of 6,700 MWp was implemented in order to eliminate scope 2 emissions at the source. The company's Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions are verified by an independent third-party verification organization within the framework of the ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Verification and Reporting Standard.
Anadolu Isuzu's production facility continued to be included in the low-emission facility status in 2022 in light of the current process and energy consumption data, within the scope of the Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Reporting Communiqué (MRV). Likewise, the greenhouse gas emission reduction efforts follow a parallel course with energy efficiency and savings projects. Plans for projects to reduce the carbon footprint in the short and medium term are also carried out.
As Anadolu Isuzu, we have officially committed to the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) for the 1.5°C target. According to the Paris Agreement, we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Scopes 1, 2 and 3 to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. We are conducting our quantitative and qualitative scenario analyses according to SBTi. A 50.4% reduction is targeted in Scope 1+2 emissions by 2032, compared to 2022. At the same time, a minimum of 4.2% reduction per year in Scope 1+2 emissions and a minimum of 2.5% reduction per year in Scope 3 (resulting from the use of products sold) emissions are targeted until 2032, compared to the base year of 2022. In order to move on to the approval phase of the targets, SBTi is expected to publish its sectoral decarbonization approach for the automotive sector.
Anadolu Isuzu reported voluntarily for the first time in 2022 within the scope of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Climate Change Program with its studies focused on low carbon economy. As a result of the assessment made by CDP, Anadolu Isuzu ranked the first among the organizations operating in the field of commercial vehicle production in Türkiye with the A- score it earned. We will continue to report our strategy, risks and performance to CDP in the coming years by raising our sustainability goals even higher.
Fighting the climate crisis is a key topic that stands out in the prioritization analysis study conducted with all our stakeholders. Within the scope of our strategy and actions, SBTi has created a roadmap for net zero with its commitment the science-based targets and Drive to Zero initiative. Our company has become a member of the UN (United Nations) Global Compact, the leading international platform in the field of sustainability and has also been among the supporters of the Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures - TCFD. Anadolu Isuzu, which closely follows national and international developments, has taken part in the environmental working groups of The Automotive Manufacturers Association (OSD), Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) and Anadolu Group Holding.
