Finance Monthly CFO Awards 2021

F i nance Month l y CFO Awards 2021 It is great to see a CFO pushing ESG. What have been some of your sustainability achievements so far? As we fully position our efforts in the direction of improving all areas of ESG every day, it is a long- term journey. Nevertheless, we are very proud of our early achievements: Enerjisa is now included in BIST sustainability index, which includes companies trading on Borsa Istanbul with the best corporate sustainability performance. Enerjisa received a Corporate Governance Rating Score of 9.46 out of 10 and it retained its place on the BIST Corporate Governance index as one of the companies with the highest corporate governance rating. Our Sustainability Report has received several awards. Awards are wonderful recognitions for our achievements but in fact, only our actions going forward are decisive. In this sense, Enerjisa is heavily investing in networks as the basis infrastructure of the new clean energy world. On top of that, emobility plays an important role in our investments as well as investing in products that support a clean and more sustainable future. As an energy company, you have a large infrastructure base and a substantial amount of yearly investments. How do you make sure that your capital allocation and supply chain activities are in line with your ESG strategy? As an energy company operating the country’s largest power grid, we are one of the main investors in Turkey. We make sure that our strategy and vision are aligned with our allocation of capital, to ensure that each Lira invested supports the future energy world that we are aiming to bring to fruition. That is what we believe a company, who truly has sustainability and ESG embedded in their business model does. Therefore, we do not invest in any energy production that is run on fossil fuels. Instead, we invest heavily in providing customers with green electricity. Every year we invest 3-5 billion Turkish Lira to build out the energy grid and modernise it so it can integrate all new renewable sources without causing any blackouts for customers. We make sure that all our investments are carried out in a sustainable manner, which is something we also hold all parties in our value chain accountable for, meaning that also our subcontractors are obliged to follow our code of conduct. - TURKEY - - 23 -
