A carbon footprint refers to the environmental impact of the greenhouse gas emissions caused directly or indirectly by an organization, an individual, or an activity. Measuring and reducing this impact is of great importance in addressing global climate change, protecting natural resources, and building a sustainable future. At KÂR Katılım Altın Rafinerisi A.Ş., we recognize our environmental responsibility and conduct our activities with this awareness.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Reducing the Carbon Footprint
KÂR Katılım Altın Rafinerisi A.Ş. regards the conduct of environmental responsibility alongside its operational activities as an ethical and moral imperative. The systematic reduction of its carbon footprint is a continuous commitment, pursued with technical rigour, resource efficiency, and the objective of measurable, incremental improvement.
Monitoring and Measurement
Data is collected on a regular basis to enable the quantification of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions arising from the Company's operations. Internationally recognised methodologies are applied in the measurement and monitoring of carbon footprint performance, with due regard to the verifiability of reported data and its consistency across reporting periods.
Reduction Priorities
The primary approach to reducing carbon emissions is grounded in the enhancement of energy and natural resource efficiency. The adoption of lower-energy equipment and technologies, the prevention of unnecessary consumption, and the minimisation of production-generated waste are prioritised as the principal instruments of emissions reduction.
Continuous Improvement
Carbon footprint management is conducted as an ongoing process requiring systematic monitoring and periodic review. Established emission targets are updated at regular intervals, the causes of deviations are analysed, and corrective actions are recorded and implemented through the most appropriate improvement methods.
