A decision is published in the Official Gazette mandating certain businesses in Türkiye to conduct sustainability reporting from January 1, 2024 onwards. Banks, irrespective of these thresholds, must also comply. The Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) aim to enhance corporate transparency and accountability in sustainability practices, fostering a more sustainable business environment in Türkiye. Accordingly, businesses surpassing two out of three specific criteria—namely, ₺500 million in total assets, ₺1 billion in annual net sales, or 250 employees over two consecutive reporting periods—must adhere to these standards.
While not mandatory, businesses outside the scope of the criteria may also voluntarily report in accordance with the TSRS. These regulations are designed to align Turkish businesses with global sustainability practices, promoting responsible resource use, environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Companies will need to disclose their ESG impacts, providing stakeholders with a clearer picture of their sustainability efforts and performance.
The TSRS framework includes comprehensive guidelines on how businesses should measure and report their sustainability impacts, promoting consistency and comparability across different sectors. By mandating these reports, the Turkish government aims to encourage more sustainable business practices, reduce environmental footprints and improve social welfare.
