About CDP 

The Sabancı University Corporate Governance Forum is CDP’s partner in Türkiye since 2010. CDP works to change the way businesses operate to reduce the effects of climate change and protect natural resources. CDP holds the world's largest corporate climate change, water, and forest risk data. At CDP, we leverage the power of measurement and transparency in information to enhance environmental risk management.

CDP, a London-based international non-profit organization, facilitates the reporting of public companies on how they use natural resources and natural capital, how their activities impact the regeneration of limited resources, and how they manage risks in this area to investors. CDP makes company reports comparable and aims to develop international reporting standards in this field. Recognized by Harvard Business Review as the world's most influential green NGO, CDP believes in the necessity of private sector responsibility in addressing climate change and provides a platform for companies to transparently disclose their climate change policies, deforestation and biodiversity efforts, plastics and water strategies to encourage them to fulfill this responsibility.

As of 2023, CDP acts on behalf of 746 investors managing assets worth $136 trillion, calling on the world’s leading companies to disclose their environmental policies. Launched in London in 2000, CDP operates the world’s most widespread environmental reporting system and holds the largest corporate climate change, water, plastic, city sustainability, and forest risk data. Through CDP, which was initiated to collect and share information that would enable companies, investors, and governments to take action against the threat of climate change, over 23,000 entities voluntarily disclose data on greenhouse gas emissions, climate change strategies, and sustainable water use to the public and investors. The data collected on behalf of investors is used in business, investment, and policymaking processes through analyses and reports prepared by CDP.

CDP has been increasingly influential in business and policy processes worldwide, not only through its core programs but also by leading campaigns and environmental movements in recent years. It collaborates with other leading global environmental organizations such as GRI, the UN’s environmental organizations and initiatives (like UNPRI and UNEP), Caring for Climate, WWF, WBCSD, CDSB, Integrated Reporting, WRI, and ISSB, providing guidance and support to all initiatives and organizations, particularly as an authoritative voice on environmental matters. In Türkiye, the environmental data for the Sustainability Index is also collected based on CDP data. Through its partnership with the Global Reporting Initiative, CDP has aligned environmental questions directly with CDP’s own questions, aiming to reduce the reporting burden on companies. In 2018, CDP data was aligned with TCFD data, and as of 2022, efforts have begun to align CDP’s questionnaires with ISSB Standards.

  

                    

Sabancı University Corporate Governance Forum has been CDP’s partner in Türkiye since 2010. Thanks to this platform, companies in Türkiye responding to CDP have the opportunity to share their environmental and nature-related policies with the public, capital market actors, and international buyers. CDP Türkiye’s mission includes facilitating dialogue among companies, supporting policies to mitigate the impacts of climate change and nature degradation, elevating environmental risk management to the level of corporate governance, educating and informing responding companies about potential benefits, and transferring and implementing global developments in this field within Türkiye.

The CDP Türkiye team supports policy-making processes by working with public institutions, capital market authorities, relevant ministries, and other decision-making bodies. The team regularly participates in UN Climate Change Conferences as part of the Turkish delegation. It has been involved in awareness-raising, capacity-building, and training activities related to the implementation of carbon pricing mechanisms led by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. The team has also contributed to the development of an Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the formulation of a Climate Law.

CDP Türkiye works in close cooperation with academia, the private sector, and civil society to ensure that developments in environmental and sustainability fields are transferred to and implemented in Türkiye. It is one of the founding members of the Borsa İstanbul Sustainability Platform. The environmental data used in the Borsa İstanbul Sustainability Index, which is currently implemented in Türkiye, is collected based on CDP data. Likewise, the Garanti BBVA Climate Index and Climate Fund are developed based on CDP data.

Additionally, CDP Türkiye has signed a cooperation protocol with the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK), which is the responsible institution for mandatory reporting in Türkiye, and carries out activities to support the transition to mandatory disclosure.

 

 

CDP Partnerships and Initiatives

CDP plays an influential role in both the business world and policy-making processes—not only through the programs it implements globally, but also by leading impactful campaigns and environmental movements.

CDP collaborates with many of the world’s leading environmental organizations, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), UN environmental agencies and projects, UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), UN Environment Programme (UNEP), Caring for Climate, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), and the World Resources Institute (WRI). Through these collaborations, CDP supports and guides initiatives and organizations globally as a leading authority on environmental matters.

CDP is also a founding member of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the We Mean Business Coalition, The Investor Agenda, and the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative.

Ahead of the Paris Agreement, CDP was one of the pioneers of the “Portfolio Decarbonisation” movement, initiated by international investors seeking to remove high-emission companies and sectors from their portfolios. CDP played a leading role in shaping the Paris Agreement as part of the globally influential We Mean Business campaign.

As part of its collaboration with GRI, CDP aligned its environmental questions directly with GRI indicators to reduce the reporting burden on companies. In a similar effort, CDP’s disclosures were brought into full alignment with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations in 2018.

In addition to being the world’s largest corporate environmental disclosure platform, CDP has long been working to collect the most comprehensive data on nature-related impacts. In September 2023, CDP announced its collaboration with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), marking the beginning of its commitment to providing standardized, comparable data and aligning fragmented voluntary frameworks and standards into a unified system.

CDP is also one of the founding partners of the Science Based Targets for Nature (SBTN). This initiative, born from a coalition of nonprofit organizations, aims to guide companies and cities in setting science-based targets specifically for nature. These efforts help companies and cities create clear roadmaps to address their impacts on nature across their value chains. SBTN’s work builds on the foundation laid by SBTi, of which CDP is a co-founder, and continues to develop methodologies for setting science-based targets for land, freshwater, oceans, and biodiversity.

When examining CDP’s role within the global reporting ecosystem, it becomes clear that CDP has significantly contributed to the adoption and institutionalization of emerging frameworks such as science-based targets, net-zero targets, and TCFD-aligned reporting. CDP also plays a central role in integrating global disclosure initiatives and frameworks and tracking performance over time.

For instance, as a key partner of SBTi, CDP presents specific questions on science-based targets to thousands of reporting companies annually, offering them the opportunity to report these targets in a standardized format through CDP.

 

A New Era Began in CDP Reporting System

When we look at the future of sustainability reporting, one of the most significant emerging trends is the shift toward nature-based disclosure. From CDP’s perspective, this will be a central focus in the coming period—because it is impossible to tackle the climate crisis without simultaneously addressing the nature crisis.

In this context, CDP implemented comprehensive changes to its disclosure system in 2024 to help companies advance more effectively on their sustainability journeys. These changes not only enable companies to provide more impactful environmental data, but also facilitate access to comparable, decision-useful data that meets the needs of global capital markets and policymakers, supporting more equitable decision-making processes.

 

The New CDP Platform

In 2024, CDP launched a new technology platform and user interface designed to significantly improve the disclosure process and accelerate climate action. Through this upgraded platform—designed to enhance user experience—companies can report more easily, while the platform also aims to increase the comparability and consistency of CDP data.

Consolidated Questionnaires

In 2024, CDP consolidated the Climate Change, Water Security, and Forests questionnaires into a single integrated corporate questionnaire. This simplifies the reporting process and ensures the right questions are directed to the right companies without duplication.

What Does Integration Mean?

Theme-specific questions still exist within the new CDP Corporate Questionnaire, but reporting companies now see all relevant questions through a single unified interface and need to respond only once. While integrated questions are visible across all modules (except Environmental Performance), the Environmental Performance section still contains theme-specific questions tailored to the environmental areas the company is reporting on. This applies to all sectors except financial services.

Value Chain Mapping

Reporting companies are now required to provide information about organizations within their value chains.

Enhanced Risk Assessment

CDP has moved beyond risk assessments focusing only on business-related risks and opportunities to include the evaluation of environmental impacts and dependencies.

All Companies Report on Biodiversity and Plastics

All responding companies are now required to report on biodiversity and plastics, enhancing market access to critical data on these two issues. Sectors most affected by plastic pollution receive a more detailed question set.

New Corporate Questionnaire for SMEs

CDP introduced a new, simplified SME questionnaire, aligned with the core corporate questionnaire but requiring less data and structured for ease of use. The aim is to help SMEs understand where to focus, how to build capacity, and how to take action. With fewer questions, a simplified format, and improved guidance, the SME questionnaire is better suited to the resource constraints of smaller businesses. It focuses on climate change only and does not include sector-specific questions.

Financial Services Questionnaire

A new integrated module specific to the financial services sector was introduced, requiring portfolio-level reporting and including questions tailored to the sector.

Key Changes in the 2024 Scoring Methodology

  • Companies are still scored separately for Climate Change, Forests, and Water Security.

  • A single score will now be provided for the Forests theme to promote a more inclusive approach.

  • No scores will be issued in 2024 for Biodiversity and Plastics.

  • SMEs will only receive a Climate Change score in 2024.

  • Companies responding to the SME questionnaire will not be eligible for the SME A List in 2024.

  • Financial institutions will receive a Climate Change score; water-related disclosures for financing activities will be scored for the first time. However, Forests and Water scores will remain confidential in 2024.

Why Did CDP Integrate Its Questions and Align with Other Standards?

Addressing the climate crisis cannot be achieved without simultaneously tackling the nature crisis. Carbon emissions and climate change are only part of the problem. A just and simultaneous approach to climate and nature is required—one that includes protecting and restoring ecosystems, shifting to sustainable agriculture and forestry, and adopting circular economy principles.

Nature-related reporting draws from overlapping yet distinct frameworks, standards, and regulations. CDP is working to harmonize these elements and collect the most comprehensive corporate data on nature. The integrated reporting approach adopted in 2024 represents a step toward holistic environmental action, helping meet the world’s growing demand for integrated climate and nature responses.

One of the most critical developments in the transition to nature-based reporting is the creation of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)—a natural extension of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which provided the main framework for integrating climate issues into mainstream financial reporting. TNFD now offers a set of recommendations and guidance for companies to disclose nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities, and to take action accordingly. This is expected to help steer global financial flows toward nature-positive companies.

Another important initiative is the Science Based Targets for Nature Network (SBTN), formed through a coalition of nonprofit organizations. As with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), CDP aims to guide companies and cities in setting science-based targets specifically for nature through SBTN. These efforts help draw clear roadmaps for organizations to address their impacts on nature across value chains. SBTN continues to develop methodologies for land, freshwater, oceans, and biodiversity.

Looking Ahead

CDP will expand its work to cover the full scope of planetary boundaries—adapting its disclosure framework to comprehensively address both climate and nature-related reporting. By 2025, CDP will align its platform with all relevant global environmental standards and frameworks.

CDP has already addressed many of these topics through its Forests and Water Security questionnaires and partially aligned with TNFD by integrating TCFD into its system in 2018. Now, with the integrated questionnaire, and the addition of TNFD and SBTN-specific content, CDP has begun delivering a reporting platform that enables companies and financial institutions to meet emerging nature-related disclosure expectations.

 

The Future of CDP: Supporting Reporting Processes for a Net-Zero and Nature-Positive Future

In 2021, CDP launched a new strategy, expanding its scope to cover all planetary boundaries. CDP's activities continue to grow, now encompassing new areas such as biodiversity, plastic waste, and oceans.

● In 2021, six introductory questions on biodiversity were added to the climate change questionnaire, based on the IUCN Biodiversity Planning and Monitoring Guidelines.

● Five to nine questions related to plastic pollution, depending on the sector, were integrated into the Water Security Program questionnaire, drawing on the foundation of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Global Commitment.  

 

CDP’s Alignment with Reporting Frameworks and Standards

CDP plays a critical role in supporting companies on their sustainability journeys amid rapidly evolving business conditions. For many years, CDP has taken on the role of ensuring consistency among corporate reporting frameworks and standards in order to reduce the reporting burden on companies.

CDP’s globally aligned Corporate Questionnaire, designed to be compatible with the world’s most important frameworks and standards, aims to significantly ease companies’ reporting obligations. By working in harmony with international reporting frameworks and standards, CDP helps companies accurately report their sustainability performance and facilitates access to the data needed by investors and other stakeholders.

IFRS S2 Climate-Related Disclosures

CDP 2024 Alignment Status: Fully Aligned with IFRS S2

CDP’s 2024 Corporate Questionnaire is fully aligned with the IFRS S2 Climate Standard published by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). CDP continues to provide guidance to reporting companies and stakeholders to help them understand and implement the IFRS S2 requirements.

The IFRS S2 standard outlines the disclosures companies need to make under the pillars of Governance, Strategy, and Risk and Opportunity Management. This includes identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks and opportunities, along with related metrics and targets, and includes reporting on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This alignment also encompasses CDP’s full compliance with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations.

This decision sends a strong signal to the market and encourages early adoption of the IFRS S2 standard by companies. The alignment helps reduce the reporting burden and brings the business world one step closer to a common language in climate disclosure. It is also a significant step for the thousands of companies already reporting to CDP to be well-prepared for the transition to mandatory disclosure. Moreover, companies in Türkiye reporting to CDP will already be aligned with the Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS2) published by the Public Oversight Authority (KGK).

European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)

CDP 2024 Alignment Status: High-Level Partnership and Interoperability

Another major step toward regulatory convergence is CDP’s collaboration with the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG). The goal of this partnership is to accelerate alignment with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)—which will apply to over 50,000 companies starting in 2024—and to maximize interoperability between the CDP disclosure system and EU environmental standards. This harmonization effort is ongoing.

There is broad alignment between CDP’s Corporate Questionnaire and the ESRS. Ongoing collaboration and joint mapping between CDP and EFRAG have shown significant alignment between CDP’s questionnaire and the ESRS E1 Climate Standard. These findings will be detailed in a comprehensive mapping report to be published in early 2025, ahead of CDP’s next disclosure cycle.

CDP and EFRAG are exploring additional ways to strengthen ESRS alignment in 2025 and are conducting a comprehensive research project to identify ESRS data points that could inform updates to the CDP Questionnaire. Already, companies representing 80% of the European stock market use CDP to disclose environmental data—solidifying CDP’s role as a key platform for accessing ESRS-aligned information.

Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD)

CDP 2024 Alignment Status: Partially Aligned

In October 2023, CDP announced its intention to align with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations. This alignment will allow investors, capital markets, and policymakers to access standardized, comparable, and reliable nature-related information.

CDP is already partially aligned with TNFD, particularly in areas that overlap with TCFD. Since TNFD builds upon the TCFD framework and CDP is already fully aligned with TCFD, the existing sections of the CDP Questionnaire on governance, strategy, risks, and opportunities can easily be updated to reflect TNFD requirements.

TNFD’s indicators will help define best practices in areas such as marine and terrestrial ecosystems, which will accelerate the integration of nature-related topics into CDP’s disclosure framework.

U.S. SEC Climate Disclosure Rule

CDP 2024 Alignment Status: Under Review Following Final Rule Release

CDP has announced plans to align with the climate disclosure rule proposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Work is ongoing to determine the timeline and scope of alignment. The SEC rule is based on TCFD recommendations, and CDP’s platform is already fully aligned with TCFD.

Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

CDP 2024 Alignment Status: Aligned with TCFD Recommendations

CDP aligned with the TCFD recommendations in 2018, which have become the foundation for many mandatory disclosure frameworks.

By integrating TCFD principles and elements into its questions and reporting formats, CDP offers a unique platform for the practical implementation of the TCFD framework. Companies reporting via CDP can disclose in a TCFD-aligned, consistent, and comparable format, making CDP the world’s largest TCFD-aligned environmental data repository. CDP scores are widely used by investors and major buyers to inform decisions aimed at building a sustainable and resilient economy.

Although the TCFD framework still holds an important role in the global economy, its responsibilities have officially been transferred to the IFRS Foundation as of 2024.

For more information, please refer to our Technical Note.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards

GRI and CDP are working together to harmonize best practices and reduce duplication in disclosure processes. This collaboration is aimed at alleviating the reporting burden on the thousands of companies disclosing through both CDP and GRI Standards.

Sustainable Finance Taxonomies

CDP continues to integrate taxonomy criteria for sustainable finance based on best practices into its disclosure system. The CDP Corporate Questionnaire includes pilot questions aligned with EU Taxonomy targets and collects data on corporate alignment with financial accounting.

Additional Frameworks Supported by CDP’s Corporate Questionnaire

  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol

  • Accountability Framework Initiative (AFi) for Forests

  • CEO Water Mandate

Türkiye’s Alignment with Global Reporting Standards

CDP’s 2024 questionnaire is fully aligned with ISSB’s IFRS S2 Climate Standard and shows high overlap with the ESRS E1 climate module. This alignment helps companies in Türkiye that report through CDP to be better prepared for increasing global regulatory demands.

CDP’s harmonization efforts support Türkiye’s transition to both the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the newly mandatory Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS).

As of 2024, Türkiye’s alignment with global frameworks through CDP responses can be summarized as follows:

  • IFRS S2 Alignment: Companies in Türkiye reporting to CDP show 80% alignment with IFRS S2. This indicates strong progress in key areas such as climate governance, emissions accounting, and financial risk management.

  • ESRS Alignment: Excluding sector-specific questions, Turkish companies’ CDP responses show 68% alignment with ESRS requirements. While this marks notable progress, further integration is needed in areas such as double materiality, value chain transparency, and biodiversity.

Overall, Turkish companies have established a strong climate reporting foundation through CDP’s updated and standards-aligned structure. However, to meet the more comprehensive ESRS requirements, companies will need to gather more detailed data across their value chains, improve management of Scope 3 emissions, and more deeply integrate nature-related topics into their governance structures and strategic plans.

CDP Programs

Investor-Led Programs

  • Climate Change Program

Mitigating climate change is essential for a sustainable economy. Since 2002, CDP has been a leading institution in making environmental data transparent and accessible for business decision-making. CDP believes that increasing corporate awareness of carbon and climate change risk management is achieved through measurement and reporting. On behalf of 746 institutional investor signatories, representing a total of $136 trillion in assets, CDP requests the world’s largest companies to report on their climate risks and low-carbon opportunities.

The data collected from companies is assessed according to CDP's scoring methodology, one of the world's most trusted rating methodologies, and companies that make it to the A List globally are recognized. In 2023, a record number of companies reported, with nearly 400 companies making it onto the A List for Climate Change, Deforestation, and Water Security Programs. Five companies from Türkiye successfully made it onto both the Climate Change and Water Security Global A Lists. In the Climate Change Program, 18 companies are listed on the Global A List.

You can find more information about the CDP Climate Change Program here.

More information about CDP Türkiye Climate Change can be found here.

 

  • Water Security Program

Water security is vital for mitigating climate change and for companies to protect their net profits. CDP's work on water security facilitates company reporting on this issue and helps them leverage the power of their customers and investors to reduce their environmental impacts. The data collected by CDP enables decision-makers to reduce risks, capitalize on actions taken, and lead towards a more sustainable world. In 2015, with the support and collaboration of Garanti Bank, the CDP Water Program Forum was launched in Türkiye. CDP believes that the private sector needs to take responsibility for water issues and encourages action by providing a platform for reporting water usage and impacts on water resources.

In 2023, among the 60 companies from Türkiye that responded to the Water Security Program, 5 companies made it onto the Global A List.

You can find more information about the CDP Water Security Program here.

More information about CDP Türkiye Water Security Program can be found here.

 

  • Deforestation Program

Deforestation is a significant risk for businesses. CDP works in collaboration with companies and investors to manage this risk and facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy. Deforestation and forest degradation account for 10-15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making efforts to prevent deforestation a major contribution to achieving international climate change goals. CDP’s deforestation program activities are conducted on behalf of over 746 signatory investors managing $136 trillion in assets, aiming to understand how companies address deforestation risks.

You can find more information about the CDP Deforestation Program here.

  • Plastics

The increasing production of plastics each year poses serious threats to global ecosystems, economies, and societies. Enhancing transparency around plastic footprints is crucial for enabling companies to develop strategies to reduce plastic usage. Strong corporate disclosures are seen as a fundamental step in addressing plastic pollution.

Companies can report their plastic-related activities, impacts, risks, and opportunities through the CDP platform. These disclosures will provide a solid foundation for companies to take steps towards reducing plastic pollution and achieving sustainability goals.

You can find more information about the CDP Plastics Program here.

 

CDP Supply Chain Program

CDP works with buyer organizations and suppliers to reduce climate, water, and forest risks. These efforts to identify and manage risks related to climate change, deforestation, and water involve over 280 buyer organizations and more than 47,000 suppliers. CDP Supply Chain member companies, by achieving collaboration and transparency in their value chains, can manage risks with their suppliers, capitalize on opportunities, and ensure the continuity of their business operations.

You can find more information about the CDP Supply Chain Program here.

 

CDP Cities Program

The role of cities in transitioning to a sustainable economy is undeniable. CDP plays a crucial role in encouraging cities to report, understand, and act on their environmental impacts. CDP also provides cities with a global platform to measure, manage, and report their environmental data. As of 2023, CDP works with over 1,200 cities, helping them manage their carbon emissions, enhance their resilience, protect themselves from the impacts of climate change, and provide better working and living spaces for their citizens. These cities have demonstrated significant progress towards building a sustainable economy by reporting over 8,000 urban sustainability actions that effectively combat climate change. As we approach a tipping point in the dissemination of environmental action, cities are a vital part of the ongoing sustainability transformation process.

You can find more information about the CDP Cities Program here.

CDP Türkiye Reports and Conferences

CDP Türkiye Climate Conferences

Since 2010, the annual CDP Türkiye Climate Change and Nature Conference has served as a key platform bringing together leading business representatives, policymakers, academics, and civil society organizations to discuss the sustainability agenda at both global and national levels. These conferences not only share CDP’s Türkiye-specific analytical results with the public but also honor top-performing companies, encouraging further progress in their sustainability journeys.

One of the most prestigious segments of the conference is the award ceremony for companies receiving CDP’s A scores. Recognized as “CDP Leaders,” these companies are celebrated for their exemplary environmental performance and commitment to tackling climate change. The ceremony increases the visibility of sustainability success stories and serves as motivation for other companies.

CDP Türkiye Reports

Each year, CDP Türkiye publishes comprehensive reports that reveal the progress of the Turkish private sector on environmental sustainability. These reports offer critical insights into companies’ greenhouse gas emissions, water management practices, and nature-related risks and opportunities, shedding light on the environmental performance of the business community.

Together, CDP Türkiye’s conferences and reports serve as valuable guidance for companies aiming to improve their environmental performance and continue to play a leading role in Türkiye’s sustainability transformation.

CDP Türkiye 15th Climate and Nature Conference

CDP’s Türkiye 2024 results were announced on Friday, May 16, 2025, during the CDP Türkiye 15th Climate Change & Nature Conference, Results Presentation, and Awards Ceremony. The event unveiled the findings of the “CDP Türkiye 2024 Climate Change and Nature Report” as well as the list of CDP Global and CDP Türkiye Leaders, based on CDP’s Global Scoring Methodology.

This year’s CDP Türkiye Conference was held under the theme “Enhancing Interoperability in a Transforming Reporting Ecosystem.” In 2024, CDP launched a new integrated Corporate Questionnaire that combines all reporting themes—climate change, water management, and deforestation—into one system. To facilitate and encourage the disclosure efforts of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), CDP also introduced a new SME questionnaire. Furthermore, CDP continued to collaborate with leading global standards and frameworks to reduce companies’ reporting burden and support the transition to mandatory disclosure. One of the most significant steps was integrating IFRS S2, the ISSB’s climate-related disclosure standard, into its questions. Türkiye’s TSRS (Sustainability Reporting Standards), published by the Public Oversight Authority (KGK), are based on these ISSB standards.

During the conference, Mirhan Köroğlu Göğüş, CDP Türkiye Country Director, presented the key findings of the CDP 2024 Türkiye Report. The conference also featured a panel discussion titled “Enhancing Interoperability in a Transforming Reporting Ecosystem,” moderated by Ata Can Bertay, Director of Sabancı University’s Corporate Governance Forum. Panelists included Rachael Barza, Head of Climate Adaptation and Nature Finance at EBRD; Cristina Gil White, Head of Strategic Engagement at GRI; and Benan Ürgün, Engagement Manager at CDP Europe.

CDP 2024 Awards Ceremony

Among the 358 companies worldwide that received an A score in CDP’s Climate Change Program, 18 were from Türkiye.
