Report

Recently, we published the Corporate Sustainability Reports of Turkish manufacturing firms. We developed a methodology based on our research on various sustainability indexes across the world. Particularly, we developed, tested and validated the methodology to better measure the sustainability performance of Turkish firms. Yet, we further investigated the financial performance and sustainability relation in different sectors and supplied sector-specific suggestions and policy recommendations. The reports are currently available only in Turkish.

Yakin zamanda, Türk imalat firmalarının Kurumsal Sürdürülebilirlik Raporlarını yayınladık. Dünya genelinde çeşitli sürdürülebilirlik endeksleri üzerine yaptığımız araştırmalara dayanan bir metodoloji geliştirdik. Firmalarının sürdürülebilirlik performansını daha iyi ölçmek için metodolojiyi ülke özelinde, test ettik ve uluslararası veri ile valide ettik. Farklı sektörlerde finansal performans ve sürdürülebilirlik ilişkisini araştırdık ve sektöre özgü öneriler ve politika önerileri sağladık. Proje, ÖzÜ İşletme Fakültesi ve ÖzÜ Sürdürülebilirlik Platformu'nun desteğiyle yürütüldü.
