Sabit AYDIN
Chair of The Board of Directors
Esteemed Stakeholders,
Our world is at the heart of an era of transformation, reshaping the very balance of life. Global challenges such as climate change, the rapid depletion of resources, and social inequality have become the collective responsibility of all institutions and leaders, not just individuals. Leaving a livable world for future generations is only possible through the decisive actions we take today. In this process, a sustainability-focused vision will be the key to unlocking environmental, social, and economic solutions.
The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set global standards for sustainable business models. On the other hand, the World Economic Forum's 2024 Global Risks Report identifies environmental risks and climate change as some of the biggest threats facing the business world. Likewise, the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report clearly states that limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C is only achievable through urgent and comprehensive emissions reductions. These facts highlight that sustainability is no longer merely a choice, but has become a fundamental responsibility for organizations. As Batı Anadolu Group of Companies, we are committed to fulfilling this responsibility with determination.
In line with our sustainability vision, we are taking strong steps in the areas of environmental, social, and governance (ESG), while ensuring our operations comply with international standards. Through our projects aimed at increasing energy efficiency and promoting the use of alternative fuels, we aim to reduce our carbon emissions and accelerate our transition to low-carbon production processes. As of 2024, we have increased our sustainable cement production rate to 72.7%. We will continue to strengthen our climate-friendly production approach by further increasing this rate.
We view sustainability not only as an environmental responsibility, but also as a fundamental pillar of social development. By investing in the development of our employees, we enhance their competencies and focus on growing alongside local collaborations. As Batı Anadolu Group of Companies, we place the principle of 'stronger together' at the heart of all our business processes.
Under the guidance of our Sustainability Committee and its subcommittees, we review our strategic priorities annually and take decisive steps towards the future. We continue to pursue our goal of building a sustainable future through efforts to minimize our environmental impact, prioritize social benefit, and inspire the industry with innovative business models.
As we have done so far, we will continue on our journey with the vision of being a 'value-creating' community. We would like to thank all our stakeholders who have been with us on this journey and have generously contributed and supported us.
Sincerely
