Karsan, one of the world’s leading brands in next-generation public transport, has achieved another significant milestone in its sustainability efforts. In the Climate Change and Water Reporting assessments conducted under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Karsan has moved up from C level to B level, taking its corporate approach to managing climate and water-related risks to a more advanced level of maturity. According to the CDP methodology, the C level indicates that companies are aware of climate and water-related risks and provide transparency in these areas, while the B level shows that these risks have now been transformed into concrete management processes, addressed by senior management and integrated into corporate decision-making mechanisms. Karsan’s upgrade from C to B confirms that it has taken sustainability beyond an operational issue and made it an integral part of its corporate governance approach.
Strong indicator of the transition from measurement to management in sustainability
With its vision of shaping the future of mobility in public transport, Karsan places sustainability at the heart of its business processes. The company goes beyond measuring its environmental and social impacts, making sustainability issues an integral part of its strategic management and decision-making processes. This approach enables Karsan to proactively manage future risks and opportunities, rather than limiting its operational activities solely to performance indicators.
Karsan confirmed this strategic approach on an international scale by rising from a C level to a B level in the Climate Change and Water Reporting assessments conducted under the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The B level indicates that companies not only report climate and water-related risks but also address them at the senior management level and integrate them into corporate decision-making mechanisms. This achievement demonstrates that Karsan views sustainability not merely as an environmental obligation but as a fundamental element of its corporate governance approach.
In the field of environmental sustainability, Karsan continues to develop low and zero-emission solutions; it reports the environmental impacts of its products throughout their life cycle, such as energy consumption, emissions and waste, in a transparent and measurable manner. In the field of social sustainability, it aims to create long-term value through employee health and safety, inclusivity, education and social contribution projects. This holistic approach is a strong indicator that Karsan has moved sustainability beyond an operational responsibility to a strategic management issue. The company is gradually realising its vision for the future of public transport by supporting its sustainability goals with concrete projects and international standards.
