Sustainability

Consus Enerji’s approach to sustainability is built on three key components: These are environment, sustainable production and occupational health and safety. Consus Enerji’s sustainability approach focuses on energy efficiency and power generation from renewable and clean energy sources with low carbon emissions. Employee and stakeholder engagement as well as sustainable supplier management are also key elements of the sustainability policy.

The company’s priorities include continuous improvement in environmental consciousness, battling climate change, adhering to all applicable laws, monitoring national and international standards and new developments, and raising the environmental awareness of its employees. By minimizing its carbon footprint, making effective use of resources, and constantly preferring renewable and clean raw materials, Consus Enerji seeks to preserve the environmental interests of not only its own facilities but also the entire society. Thus, the Environment and Sustainability Department keeps track of all national and local sustainability efforts in order to incorporate them into Consus Enerji and its affiliates’s policies and ensure that stakeholders and suppliers are putting them into practice.

Climate change is mostly a result of the inability to prevent global-scale air, water, and soil pollution at the source as a result of increasing industrial and manufacturing activities. Consus Enerji fully supports the battle against climate change by adhering to laws, eliminating waste at its source, providing air and gas emissions from renewable, clean, and carbon-friendly wastes that it prefers in its processing activities and raw material processes, and designing its facilities to ensure that the resulting waste waters are re-used to the extent possible in order to minimize the discharge amount.

Only biomass sources are used to produce the energy in biomass power plants. By using residual biomass products left in the farms following the harvest (cotton straw, corn straw, forestry waste, etc.) as raw materials, the company assists farmers and forests in clearing the land, prevents the use of fossil fuels, and contributes to the generation of low-emission, clean energy.

With its cogeneration and trigeneration facilities, Consus Enerji contributes significantly to energy efficiency and savings while also reducing emissions.

Consus Enerji is dedicated to constant improvement and advancement of environmental consciousness throughout all facets of its operations, from management to staff and from facilities to business processes, as part of the effort to combat climate change.

Consus Enerji’s biomass and solar power investments help lowering emissions by using renewable and clean energy sources instead of fossil fuel. Consus Enerji’s renewable power plants reduce emissions exceeding 80,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent every year.

Furthermore, cogeneration and trigeneration plants provide an average of more than 25% savings in primary energy source, according to efficiency certificates issued by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources for the facilities.
