'Creating value for a sustainable future'

Kimpur CEO Cavidan Karaca, speaking at the session, pointed out that the Istanbul Carbon Summit is a platform that brings together experts on sustainability, carbon energy and environmental matters, enabling important discussions about the future. Karaca, stating that they believe sustainable growth is not possible without creating value in environmental and social terms, said: "This year we are celebrating our 40 years of experience. Our sustainability efforts aim to minimise our environmental impact and encompass projects such as zero waste, emissions management, energy efficiency, water conservation and recycling. We also continue our work with social responsibility projects that benefit society and the environment. Through our technology and R&D investments, we maintain our leading position in the sector, and with our sustainability efforts, we pioneer our sector. We approach all our projects at our R&D centre in line with sustainability principles and develop solutions that will contribute to nature and the circular economy in our product lifecycle. In 2020 we achieved 11.58 percent success in energy savings and 7.06 percent in 2021. In 2022, our production volume increased by 23 percent compared to the previous year, but our carbon emissions increased by only 5.1 percent. This shows that we prevented 14 percent of carbon emissions compared to the previous year. With our solar energy investment in our Düzce facility, which will commence operations shortly, we aim to meet 55 percent of our electricity consumption from renewable energy in the future and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 679 tonnes. We will continue our efforts for a more sustainable and liveable world with determination."
