Aksigorta has published its TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) report, which outlines its activities and strategy aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, identifying its priority areas in combating climate change. Aksigorta has set a 'Net Zero Emissions' target by 2050 and remains committed to working diligently for a sustainable future.
Aksigorta, offering a new generation of insurance with a focus on sustainability, is among the institutions supporting the fight against climate change. By publishing its TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) report, Aksigorta transparently demonstrates its processes of understanding, analyzing, and adapting to climate risks.
Acting with the aim of contributing to the development of the sector and the national economy, Aksigorta also continues its efforts in line with sustainable growth objectives. As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), Aksigorta is strengthening its sustainability performance.
Burak Yüzgül, Deputy General Manager of Aksigorta, stated that they implement strategies to enhance resilience against climate change and said, "We are aware of the risks associated with climate change. We are committed to fulfilling our promises to provide a more sustainable future for our customers, employees, and society. We set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our own operations. In this regard, we focus on products and services that will contribute to promoting low-carbon and stakeholder-focused economic growth.”
53% emission saving target
Yüzgül also commented on the progress made towards sustainable development goals: "In 2022, our sustainable products and services related to Sustainable Development Goals accounted for 19% of gross premiums written at Aksigorta. In line with the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement, we will reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 53% at Aksigorta between 2019 and 2030. We have begun efforts to align our Scope 3 emissions from our investment portfolio with science-based targets. We are working on an implementation plan aligned with this target and have started efforts to commit to the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) at the earliest opportunity. During the reporting period, by collecting evaluations of claim files through digital channels, we achieved a paper saving equivalent to 1.1 million A4 sheets, resulting in a reduction of 5.5 tons of emissions. In addition to the paper savings, we have also contributed 20,000 trees to nature as part of Sabancı Group's goal of preserving natural habitats and forests.”
