collaboration and taking individual responsibility for the efficient use of resources.

By taking responsibility for a better world, we have positioned ourselves as one of the pioneers in energy transformation, continuously working together to provide innovative products and services.

To create a better future, we must take collective steps without leaving anyone behind. For this, we all need to agree on the concepts and have the same level of consciousness and awareness.

With the Sustainability Glossary, which includes fundamental concepts, abstracts, and terms related to sustainability, we aim to increase awareness of topics such as proper resource utilization, technological advancements, corporate changes, and environmental needs.

Because our job is to understand the world!
