Within the context of expanding its scope, Carbon Disclosure Project – Turkey initiated a cooperation program with Istanbul Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters’ Association (IKMIB). As a part of this program, the two institutions organize a training event in 25th of January.
Carried out in Turkey by Corporate Governance Forum of Sabanci University, under the sponsorship of Akbank and with the reporting support of Ernst & Young Turkey since the beginning of 2010; Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is expanding its scope.

CDP – Turkey started a new project with the support of British Government’s Prosperity Fund in the second half of 2011. The new project aims to increase voluntary participation of CO2 intense firms to CDP, with a sectoral perspective.  

Within the context of its expansion project, CDP has recently initiated a cooperation program with Istanbul Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters’ Association. The program will consist of a group of activities to raise awareness on risks of climate change and their management. In this context, the two institutions organize a training in the 25th of January, where the participants will be provided with detailed information on CDP, ways of responding CDP Information Request and the recent draft regulation of Ministry of Environment and Urbanization on MRV (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification) of GHG emissions. The training event, which will take place with the support of Bureau Veritas, is expected to involve around 150 participants. 

Every year, CDP sends an information request to the firms listed in ISE – 100 index in Turkey. However, the Project is open to voluntary participation of unlisted firms, which are not invited by CDP. Voluntary participants to CDP from Turkey include sector leading firms such as YÜNSA, BRISA and AKÇANSA. The new Project of CDP Turkey, which is carried out with the support of British Government aims to expand the scope of CDP in Turkey via increasing the voluntary participation of firms in CO2 intense sectors.
