OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

As Arkas Bunker, we support sustainable growth in all sectors we operate in. We continue to create value for people, society and the environment by using superior technologies. The basis of our sustainability strategy is the management of social, economic and environmental impacts arising from our activities, the expectations of our stakeholders and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In line with the sustainability strategy, we aim to minimize the risks arising from the effects of climate change while evaluating the opportunities arising from the same effects with maximum benefit. We carry out studies in areas such as energy efficiency, zero waste and renewable energy.

We focus on 2 priorities while implementing our sustainability strategy into our business processes.

1. Climate and Environment

We aim to protect our planet and manage the environmental impacts of our operations in our core business areas. As part of our efforts to combat climate change, we work to minimize our environmental impacts, protect biodiversity and natural resources, and contribute to a sustainable future by creating added value.

2. Innovation

Arkas Bunker continues to break new ground in line with its sustainability goals. It has been honored with the International Sustainability and Carbon Certificate (ISCC), a globally recognized certification system that supports sustainability in the agriculture, food and bioenergy industries.

Arkas Bunker, a subsidiary of Arkas Holding, continues its sustainable business model in marine fuels and continues its projects to support companies in reducing carbon emissions. In line with its mission to protect the environment and resources, the approval received from ISCC provides an international, practical and transparent system that is one of the most reputable certification programs in the world.

ISCC Certificate criteria include compliance with applicable laws and regulations, sustainable land use and protection of biodiversity, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts, respect for human rights and labor rights, responsible water use and management, as well as compliance with traceability and transparency criteria in the supply chain. Renewable energy sources are defined as energy sources that can be available the next day as they are in nature’s own evolution. These resources help protect the environment by reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and contribute to reducing external dependency on energy and increasing employment because they are domestic resources. At the same time, they are sustainable because they are produced without the use of fossil fuels, and they prevent the depletion of energy resources such as natural gas, coal and oil, and enable the use of fuels that are less harmful to the environment.
