ABDİ İBRAHİM ACHIEVES GLOBAL SUCCESS IN CLIMATE CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Centering all its business processes around sustainability with related actions and projects geared towards leaving a more livable world to future generations, Abdi İbrahim has achieved a significant international success. Abdi İbrahim has outperformed the global average in the Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical industry category in the Climate Change Program of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which is globally recognized as the strongest green NGO, and secured a place in the B- list.

Thanks to its efforts for achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 with a significant focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, Abdi İbrahim has achieved an important international success. With its first report to the Climate Change and Water Security Programs of the Carbon Disclosure Project, Abdi İbrahim scored higher than the global average in the Biotechnology Pharmaceutical industry category and qualified to be included in the B-list. Thus, the company achieved a significant success in the Carbon Disclosure Project, which is the world's largest environmental reporting platform including approximately 10,000 companies from around the globe.  

Commenting on Abdi İbrahim's success in being included in the B-list of the Carbon Disclosure Project, Abdi İbrahim Public Relations and Corporate Communications Director Dr. M. Oğuzcan Bülbül said, “At Abdi İbrahim, we strive to ensure a better, healthier and happier life for millions of people every day. As we continue our commercial operations and launch our investments, we always prioritize leaving a “good” mark on the society and the world we live in, planning all our actions with a particular focus on the environment. Although it was our first report to CDP, we are proud to have been included in the B-list in Climate Change and Water Security Programs. We are pleased to have achieved a score above the industry's global and European average in the field of climate change. Having applied and having been rated for the first time, we ranked above 85 out of 129 applicants in Turkey most of which have been engaged in such activities for more than 5-10 years. This important development has been a clear indication that Abdi İbrahim is on the right track with regards to its sustainability efforts. We have areas of development in both categories. Our ultimate goal is to be included in the list of companies with an 'A' rating. I am certain that we will achieve this with the cemented steps we will take.”

“We will continue to work for a better world and a better future”

Noting that these achievements will further consolidate Abdi İbrahim’s position in the area of sustainability, Bülbül also added: “The 2020 edition of the annual Global Risks Report by the World Economic Forum listed environmental risks as the top five of the global risks expected in the next decade. In today’s global landscape where we feel the impact of environmental risks more and more with each passing day, everyone, especially public and private organizations, has a crucial responsibility to fulfill. Companies that act with a strong sense of responsibility for the ecosystem, society and environment and take cemented steps towards a better future will be the agents of transformation in the future. At Abdi İbrahim, we have been driven by our mission to heal across all our operations for three generations; goodness is coded into our DNA. We strive to ensure a better and happier life for millions of people every day. This year, we transformed our ‘healing life’ mission into ‘healing the future’ and shaped our sustainability strategy around this concept. Empowered by our position as the healing power of Turkey, we will further our efforts towards a better world and a better future with our corporate citizen identity, industry-focused mission, social priorities, universal principles and conscious approach in the coming period.”
