Climate change is one of the most fundamental problems the world faces today. The general opinion of scientists is that the problem of climate change is largely caused by human-induced greenhouse gases. In the face of this situation, while measures are being taken worldwide, the automotive sector carries out activities in line with its responsibility. As one of the leading players in the sector, we act with the awareness of the environmental, social and economic responsibilities we have.

We conduct the climate change issue through the Sustainability Committee and the Sustainability Working Group, which report directly to the CEO.

“In 2018, Tofaş submitted the responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and as a result of the evaluation, it was included in the B (Management) band in the Climate Change program. In the CDP Water program, its rating grade has been B- (Management).”

The most important expectation of our stakeholders about climate change is that we produce tools to ensure that consumers' travel experiences, transportation and distribution operations are carried out in a more sustainable way. In order to respond to the expectations of our stakeholders, we are working to develop tools with lower emissions or alternative fuels.

As part of the fight against climate change,

• We support the efficiency increase in conventional motor vehicles implemented by FCA in line with product strategies; the expansion of the use of alternative fuel systems and the development of electric and hybrid vehicles.
• By investing in energy efficiency in our manufacturing facilities, we reduce manufacturing-related greenhouse gas emissions.
• By reducing fuel consumption in our vehicles, we are trying to minimize the emission release by saving energy.
• We carry out energy efficiency studies in our distribution operations.
• We are working to expand the awareness of environment and climate responsibility through the whole value chain, with the supplier and dealer development studies and customer information services.

“By 2020, we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing by 30% compared to 2011.”
