We give particular importance to energy efficiency and emission management in order to mitigate environmental, social and economic risks caused by the climate change. We manage this subject that is the most important part of our environmental management with an organization starting from the senior management and expanding to related departments.

The Energy Guides Committee, Tofaş Sustainability Committee and Tofaş Sustainability Work Group are responsible for the energy efficiency and the emission management and report directly to CEO. We continuously improve and monitor our energy efficiency and emission performance in accordance with short, medium and long-term objectives. We keep our emission levels under the limits defined by public authorities.

We decreased energy consumption per vehicle by 5% to 3.76 GJ level in 2017. We aim to reduce this to 3.50 GJ as of 2020. In parallel to this reduction in energy consumption, we decreased emissions per vehicle by 10.5%. We aim to decrease GHG emissions per vehicle to 0.350 tons CO2e by 2020 which was 0,358 tons CO2e in 2017.

During paint application, one of the main processes of vehicle manufacturing, volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions occur. VOC emission weight per surface painted was 33.91 gr/m2 in 2017. By continuing our efforts in the future, we aim to reduce VOC emissions to 29.00 gr/m2 level in 2020.

We support the transition to low carbon economy through energy efficiency studies. We continue to reduce energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency projects we carry out. In 2017, we realized 34 new energy efficiency projects within WCM Energy Management Methodology. In addition to projects initiated in the last quarter of 2016, the number of projects that has an impact reached 72 in 2017. Thanks to these projects, we achieved a total of 72,633 GJ and saved 5,918 tons CO2e of GHG emissions.

Energy Efficiency Second Prize We were awarded with the second prize in “Energy Efficiency Awards” organized by Istanbul Chamber of Industry through our project “The Direct Use of Solar Energy in Manufacturing Processes (SolarDRY)” which we realized based on the studies with an aim to design energy efficient processes, to supply products and services, and to constantly improve energy performance.

Information Center Power Utilization Efficiency (PUE) Improvement Through elimination of leaks between hot and cold areas and improvements in the air conditioning system and parameterization studies, Power Utilization Efficiency has been reduced to 1.6 from 2 at Tofaş Main Information Center.
