                                                         Strategy



                                                         includes the following focus areas:



                                                           Working to minimize the potential environmental impact of
                                                           our operations




                                                           Organizing training programs and activities that contribute
                                                           to the employees and social awareness



                                                           Innovating to develop new business lines and business
                                                           models by considering climate change related factors in all
                                                           our operations, including  R&D activities



            this project generated 203 GJ of solar         Leading the way in drafting regulations and standards on
            energy at the Gebze Plant.                     environmental management, starting with tackling climate
                                                           change in our field of operation and collaborating with
            Low-carbon Products                            NGOs and relevant platforms
            Climate change occurs not only during
            production but also when we use
            products with environmental impact.
            Therefore, we need to generate solutions       Using energy efficient technologies and identifying material
            to ensure that products function in a way      aspects according to the sustainability principle
            that minimizes this impact.

            With a lower carbon-hydrogen ratio             Raising awareness among the potential and existing
            among fossil fuels, LPG causes less carbon     consumers about the environment-friendly features of
            emissions as well as lower particulate
            matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide emissions       autogas compared to other fuel types
            (NOx).

            GreenOdor: LPG is a colorless and              Defining and implementing ecofriendly purchasing criteria
            odorless gas that is typically odorized
            with sulfur components worldwide.
            This odorization process, which enables
            detection of leaks, causes the release of      Informing the public and consumers about climate change to
            sulfur oxides after burning. We launched       promote the use of LPG
            a project at the R&D Center to develop a
            sulfur-free odorant as a first in the world
            to eliminate the release of sulfur oxides
