The climate crisis is no longer solely an environmental issue; it is a global transformation shaping economies, investments, and the infrastructure of the future.
At Yapı Merkezi, we choose not to remain on the sidelines of this transformation, but to be among the actors shaping it.
In this context, Yapı Merkezi Holding and our group companies (Yapı Merkezi Construction, Subor, Subor GAP, Yapıtel, Yapı Merkezi IDIS, Yapıray, and other affiliated entities)
have committed to setting science-based short- and long-term emission reduction targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Our commitment is publicly listed on the SBTi Target Dashboard:

For us, this step is not merely a commitment; it represents a strategic inflection point that transforms the way we do business.
What is SBTi?
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a global framework that enables companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate science.
Through this framework:
-
Emission reduction targets are aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement
-
Companies are integrated into the transition towards a low-carbon economy
How We View Carbon
We do not see carbon merely as an emission to be reduced, but as a strategic element that creates value when properly managed.
Because we recognize that:
-
The projects of the future will be low-carbon
-
Access to finance will depend on sustainability performance
-
Competitive advantage will be driven by climate-aligned solutions
Therefore, we address carbon management across our entire value chain— from design and procurement to production and project delivery.
Our Transformation Journey
Within the scope of the SBTi process, we are systematically strengthening our carbon management approach:
-
Enhancing our greenhouse gas inventory and measurement capabilities
-
Expanding carbon management practices across projects and supply chains
-
Developing low-carbon and climate-resilient engineering solutions
-
Improving carbon data management and measurement infrastructure across the value chain
Global Impact and Alignment
For us, this process is not only about setting targets; it is a comprehensive roadmap transforming our entire business model.
Accordingly, we are advancing our carbon management efforts in an integrated manner across:
-
Sustainability working groups
-
Project teams
-
All relevant business units
