Turkey (Türkiye) has implemented comprehensive ESG frameworks including mandatory MRV emissions reporting, an emerging Emissions Trading System, and ISSB-aligned sustainability standards (TFRS-S1 & TFRS-S2). The country’s commitment to climate action through the Paris Agreement ratification and Green Deal Action Plan positions Turkish companies at the intersection of European and regional ESG leadership.
As a leading ESG and sustainability consultant in Turkey, Clenergize Consultants provides comprehensive advisory services helping Turkish companies meet MRV emissions reporting requirements, prepare for ETS compliance, and navigate TFRS sustainability standards. Our expertise spans ESG strategy, carbon accounting, climate risk assessment, ISSB implementation, and regulatory compliance—ensuring Turkish businesses excel as a bridge between European and emerging markets.
Turkey's ratification of the Paris Agreement, National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy, and alignment with EU standards demonstrate the nation's sustainability commitment. Several regulatory mandates underscore this transformation:
Given these developments, Turkish companies that fail to adapt risk MRV penalties, future ETS compliance costs, TFRS non-compliance sanctions, regulatory scrutiny, and reduced access to European markets and sustainable finance.
