Akçansa Integrated Annual Report 2025

We're Together for a More Sustainable Future

About the Report

(ESRS BP-1, BP-2)

We do not view sustainability as limited to environmental performance indicators alone; we approach it through an integrated understanding that places people, corporate culture, and stakeholder engagement at its center.

As Akçansa, we consider working toward a sustainable future across all our operations to be among our core priorities. In this report, we share our approach to value creation across a broad spectrum: from our strong governance structure to our practices that generate value in environmental and social areas, and from our efforts to combat climate change to our circular economy and innovation-based solutions. Throughout this journey, we continue to say "We're Together" around our shared goals.
