Koç Holding, which set the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, launched the Carbon Conversion Program to create a road map to be used in the transition to a low carbon economy. We brought together the Koç Group executives who lead this program in a film and listened to them about the work done in the companies.
While the world is facing the climate crisis, Koç Group says, 'To the Future. Within the framework of the 'Together' strategy, it is closely following the Green Deal, which is put at the center of the fight against climate change by the European Union and is expected to accelerate digital transformation and shape a new economic growth model. The framework put forward by the Group for the transition to a low carbon economy, under the leadership of Koç Holding CEO Levent Çakıroğlu, sets an example for all companies in our country.
In this context, the Carbon Conversion Program established within Koç Holding is implemented under the leadership of senior managers from Group companies, in other words, Carbon Conversion Leaders. Koç Group Environmental Board also provides technical support to the program, which is managed under the coordination of sustainability, finance and strategic planning teams within Koç Holding.
In the film we prepared for the online launch event of the Carbon Conversion Program, we have the opportunity to listen to 13 Carbon Conversion Leaders from 12 group companies, representing dozens of people in their teams, about the goals, current work and forward-looking road maps of Koç Group companies towards carbon neutrality. In the film, Carbon Transformation Leaders of Arçelik, Aygaz, Entek, Ford Otosan, Opet, Otokoç, Tofaş, Tüpraş, Türk Traktör, Yapı Kredi, Otokar and Tat companies sincerely express how they personally view the issue, their individual goals, and give messages to all of us. Because the main purpose, of course, is to make the audience feel the urgency of the issue and to trigger the desire to contribute to change in the audience.
As a matter of fact, when you come together with them, even if it is on the occasion of a movie shoot, you immediately come to the same mind and realize that the climate issue is as personal as it is universal. As one of the leaders, Tat Production Deputy General Manager Hakan Turan, says in the finale of the movie: “We are all in a vehicle. This vehicle is heading towards a dark spot and there is a final exit on the right. But not a single person can turn the steering wheel of this vehicle to the right. “I invite all individuals to turn this steering wheel together.”
