We are here to provide our GRI consulting service for transparent, comparable, and effective sustainability reporting in your industry.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international, independent, and non-profit organization that supports businesses, public institutions, and other organizations in openly and clearly sharing their impacts on the world. Comprehensive and accurate reporting in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas is critical for both sustainable growth and transparency. However, without a standard methodology, evaluating sustainability reports can become challenging.
Who Is GRI Reporting Suitable For?
GRI standards are the most commonly used sustainability reporting standards utilized by over 10,000 organizations in more than 100 countries worldwide. They are suitable for large corporations, public institutions, civil society organizations, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. They are especially ideal for organizations progressing towards net-zero emission targets to track and report their performance.
Reports made using GRI as a reference provide an accessible sustainability reporting tool for organizations of all sizes and developmental stages.
For multinational companies, GRI standards are also of great importance. While different regions may have different sustainability requirements, GRI's consistent, measurable, and comparable structure provides a single standard reporting language.
What Are GRI Standards?
GRI standards consist of three main sections: universal standards, sector standards, and topic-specific standards. All organizations use the universal standards while selecting relevant sector and topic standards based on the sector they operate in and their priority issues. Sector standards are still under development, with new publications being released.
The universal standards are divided into three main headings:
GRI 1: Fundamental principles
GRI 2: General disclosures
GRI 3: Identifying key issues
Identifying key issues is a systematic process that involves understanding the context of the organization, identifying actual and potential impacts, prioritizing these impacts, and ultimately selecting the critical issues to be reported.
Topic standards are categorized into three groups:
GRI 200 Series: Economic topics
GRI 300 Series: Environmental topics
GRI 400 Series: Social topics
Each standard includes management approaches and topic-specific disclosures. The management approach describes how an organization manages a particular key issue, its impacts, and stakeholder expectations. For example, the GRI 403 standard covers social topics related to occupational health and safety and includes detailed disclosures.
Benefits of GRI Reporting
Organizations reporting with GRI standards better measure, disclose, and manage their impacts; they also more easily identify strategic opportunities. Consistent and transparent reporting strengthens the trust relationship with society, the sector, and employees, and increases market value in the long run. Investors are increasingly demanding such reports to better assess sustainability risks.
Sustainability reports prepared with GRI offer a current and forward-looking perspective. The standards are regularly updated, ensuring that the reports can be easily compared with both past reports and other reports across the sector.
Accurate and internationally recognized ESG reporting is essential for organizations to provide transparency to their stakeholders and investors, and to demonstrate compliance with carbon reduction targets. In 2023, 98.6% of S&P 500 companies published sustainability reports, and companies worldwide are increasingly recognizing the economic importance of ESG reporting.
We are here to help you make your sustainability reporting reliable, transparent, and comparable with our expert team and GRI standards.
Contact us to prepare ESG performance reports that create real value for your stakeholders.
CDP Consulting
The CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) is an international and independent civil society organization that enables organizations in the private and public sectors to transparently disclose their environmental impacts. CDP promotes annual environmental reporting and transparency to build a sustainable economy, combat climate change, and achieve a net-zero future.
CDP has the world’s most comprehensive self-reported environmental data pool. Thanks to disclosures made to CDP, the progress of companies and cities on sustainability issues can be tracked, performances can be scored, and the management of environmental impacts can be encouraged.
What Areas Does CDP Focus On?
CDP collects data in four core sustainability and environmental categories:
Climate Change: Companies are expected to provide information about climate risks and opportunities and share their strategies for low-carbon practices. Under the CDP climate change survey, data is requested on topics such as Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, governance, business strategy, carbon credit usage, internal carbon pricing, and the financial impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.
Water Security: CDP measures companies' efforts to enhance water use and water security. Additionally, it uncovers water risks in supply chains and helps companies establish partnerships for collaboration.
Deforestation: Deforestation poses serious threats to the climate system, water resources, and biodiversity. CDP tracks practices aimed at preventing deforestation in agricultural production and conserving natural ecosystems.
Plastics: CDP encourages companies to report their plastic usage and strategies to combat plastic pollution. This way, companies can proactively comply with new regulations regarding plastics.
CDP requests data not only from companies but also from cities, states, regions, and public institutions. In 2023, more than 23,200 companies and over 1,100 cities, states, and regions disclosed their environmental data through CDP.
How Are CDP Scores Calculated?
CDP evaluates disclosing organizations with a score ranging from “D-” to “A.” These scores indicate how effectively the organization takes action on climate change, deforestation, and water security. CDP’s evaluation system is aligned with IFRS. High-performing companies and cities enter the “A List.” Through repeated disclosures, organizations can track their progress over the years.
Benefits of CDP Reporting
Transparency and Trust: Clearly shows your organization's environmental impacts to stakeholders and investors.
Global Comparability: You can objectively compare your performance with companies worldwide.
Risk and Opportunity Management: You gain a strategic advantage by early detection of climate, water, and deforestation risks.
Investor Relations: CDP reports demonstrating your sustainability performance play a crucial role in investors' decisions.

TSRS/IFRS Consulting
IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 are global standards published by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) that help companies disclose their sustainability-related financial information in a consistent, comparable, and reliable manner. In Turkey, the adapted version of these standards, known as the Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), has come into effect as of 2024 and requires companies to report their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance transparently.
These standards aim to integrate sustainability into financial reporting and require companies to present all ESG risks and opportunities, especially climate change, along with their financial impacts. Reporting that is compliant with IFRS/TSRS offers significant advantages for enhancing international competitiveness, attracting investments, and securing stakeholder trust.
Key Components of IFRS/TSRS Reporting
Governance: The company's sustainability management and audit structure
Strategy: Integration of sustainability risks and opportunities into business strategy
Risk Management: Identification, assessment, and management of ESG risks
Metrics and Targets: Indicators and targets used to measure and monitor sustainability performance
TSRS is based on ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2 standards. Compliance with these standards is both a legal requirement and a strategic opportunity for companies operating in Turkey to create long-term value.

SBTi Target Setting Consultancy
One of the strongest tools for companies in tackling the climate crisis is to base their emission reduction targets on scientific foundations. The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) provides businesses with a transparent and reliable roadmap aligned with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target. SBTi consultancy comprehensively analyzes your company's carbon footprint and encompasses all strategic and operational steps necessary for you to achieve short- and long-term net-zero targets.
During the SBTi consultancy process, your company's Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are first calculated in detail, and your current situation is presented using scientific methodologies. Then, taking into account the dynamics of your sector and global climate scenarios, a customized emission reduction roadmap is created for you. This roadmap supports not only the low-carbon transformation of your company but also that of your supply chain. The targets you submit to the SBTi are prepared in accordance with international standards by our experts, and all technical and communication support is provided throughout the approval process.
As of 2025, the second version of SBTi's “Corporate Net-Zero Standard” has been opened for public consultation. This new standard anticipates that companies will be more ambitious and transparent in their net-zero commitments, especially by developing more flexible and sector-based approaches in Scope 3 emissions. It is also expected to introduce new requirements in areas such as carbon removal and financial modeling. To ensure that your company meets both current requirements and can transition smoothly to upcoming standards, we closely monitor all developments and continuously update our consultancy processes.
We manage critical steps for your company through our SBTi consultancy:
Comprehensive Emission Analysis: Calculation of your Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in compliance with the GHG Protocol

Corporate and Product Carbon Footprint Consultancy
Carbon management is the process of calculating, reporting, and reducing your carbon footprint in line with net zero targets. Our experts will assist you in mapping your journey and identifying priority actions that yield sustainable results.
Corporate Carbon Footprint Consulting
Carbon footprint analysis reveals your environmental impact by measuring greenhouse gas emissions resulting from your activities. This process helps you optimize energy consumption, reduce costs, and comply with regulations.
By identifying emission sources, you can assess improvement opportunities and reach your sustainability goals more quickly.
Product Carbon Footprint Consulting
Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) refers to the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or CO2 equivalents (CO2e) occurring during the production or entire life cycle of a product.
PCF allows for the development of reduction strategies by measuring carbon emissions and contributes to both the environment and customer trust.
Emission Management in the Supply Chain
Supply chain emissions can make up a significant portion of a company's total carbon footprint and are indirect emissions. These emissions cover a wide range, from raw material sourcing to transportation, and are of great importance for companies to manage.
Managing emissions in the supply chain allows you to understand your environmental impact by analyzing these sources and developing reduction strategies.
Life Cycle Analysis and EPD Certification Consultancy
Life Cycle Assessment Consultancy
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the most comprehensive method for evaluating the environmental impacts of products, processes, or services at all stages of their life cycle.
LCA offers opportunities for improvement to achieve sustainability goals by analyzing the environmental impacts of products throughout their entire life cycle.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Consultancy
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is the passport for product manufacturers to access new green markets. A significant advantage is that LCA results can be published as an EPD.
EPD provides a competitive advantage in green markets and enhances brand reliability by transparently documenting environmental performance.
Water Footprint Consultancy
Water footprint is an environmental indicator that measures the amount of freshwater used throughout the entire value chain of a product or service. This analysis helps companies optimize their water usage and achieve sustainability goals by reducing water-related risks.
Companies face water-related risks that can lead to significant changes. Calculating the water footprint provides a critical perspective for developing an effective water strategy.
The water footprint calculated using the ISO 14046 standard allows for water conservation for future generations. Therefore, implementing this standard will determine the potential impact and help take control measures for water conservation.
SKDM (CBAM) Compliance Consulting
The European Union’s (EU) Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism (BCAM) is a climate policy tool aimed at promoting cleaner production processes in non-EU countries by introducing a fair pricing for the emissions generated in the production of carbon-intensive products. This mechanism aims to equalize the carbon costs of products imported into the EU with the carbon pricing that domestic producers face, and it has been designed in accordance with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
From 2023 to 2025, during the transition period, only reporting obligations will be valid. However, starting in 2026, financial obligations will come into effect, and free allocations under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) will be gradually phased out. This transformation presents both a risk and a strategic preparation opportunity for exporting industrial enterprises.
Our BCAM Consultancy Services

Climate Risk Analysis Consultancy
Climate change has become not only a sustainability issue for companies today, but also a financial and operational risk. Life Climate helps you develop a resilience and opportunity-focused strategy by identifying the physical and transition risks your business may face in advance.
Climate risk analyses help you identify the climate risks that await your business or institution today and in the future. These studies identify parameters such as extreme weather events and climate-related disasters; they also analyze exposure to these events and resilience situations.
Why Should You Care?
Operational Resilience
Being prepared for extreme weather events and long-term climate effects minimizes business interruptions and damage costs.
Financial Performance and Investor Confidence
Understanding and managing climate risks in advance strengthens financial assurance; investors find this type of transparency valuable.
Compliance with Regulations and Reporting Requirements
Compliance is ensured through management processes guided by standards such as IFRS and CSRD. Reporting obligations, in particular, will increase by 2025.
Competitive Advantage and Opportunity Management
Besides risks, opportunities such as resource efficiency and supply diversification can be identified for sustainable growth.
Why do you need a corporate carbon footprint analysis?
For Strategic Risk Management and Investor Confidence
Investors and financial institutions prioritize companies that effectively manage climate-related risks. A comprehensive carbon footprint study forms the basis of your ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance; by complying with standards such as CDP, GRI, and TSRS / IFRS, it provides transparency and assurance to your stakeholders.
For Cost Optimization and Operational Efficiency
Your largest sources of emissions are often the areas with the highest energy consumption and operational inefficiencies. Carbon footprint reporting identifies these hotspots and offers concrete opportunities for energy efficiency and cost savings.
For a Net Zero Vision
The first and essential step in setting an ambitious and credible emissions reduction target like net zero is a comprehensive current state analysis. Carbon footprint analysis enables you to chart a science-based course in your company's journey towards climate leadership.
For Brand Reputation and Talent Management
Companies that transparently disclose their carbon footprint build trust among customers, employees, and society. This not only strengthens your brand's reputation but also makes it easier to attract and retain top talent.
Remember, leaders proactively manage risks and provide a competitive advantage by utilizing resources as efficiently as possible. The foundation of this is carbon footprint analysis.
Why do you need a carbon footprint analysis of the product?
For Supply Chain Leadership
For most companies, the largest portion of emissions (over 80%) is hidden in the supply chain. The product carbon footprint indicates which raw material, supplier, or logistics process has the greatest impact. This information allows you to lead your entire industry by transforming your supply chain into a low-carbon structure.
For Competitive Advantage
A product produced with low emissions is a strong choice for environmentally conscious B2B and B2C customers. The product carbon footprint allows you to base your marketing claims on solid data using tools like LCA and EPD, setting you apart from your competitors.
For Innovation and Sustainable Product Design
The product carbon footprint provides invaluable data to your R&D and product development teams. By understanding the impact of different materials and production processes, you can design the more efficient, lower cost, and low-carbon products of the future. Leaders redefine the market with innovation.
Why should you pay attention to climate risk analyses?
In today's world, climate change has shifted from being merely an environmental issue to a fundamental business risk that directly affects companies' operational continuity, financial stability, and market position. Anticipating, understanding, and managing these risks is no longer just a defensive mechanism but also a proactive strategy for sustainability leadership and a source of competitive advantage.
Climate risk analysis is addressed in two main and complementary dimensions: Physical Risks and Transition Risks.
Why is Physical Risk Analysis Strategic?
For Operational Continuity and Supply Chain Security
Knowing how resilient your facilities, logistics network, and raw material sources are to climate events is key to preventing production disruptions and supply chain crises.
For Financial Stability and Asset Protection
Physical risks can decrease the value of your assets (factories, warehouses, etc.) and increase your insurance costs. Anticipating these risks allows you to protect your assets and strengthen your financial stability.
For Strategic Investment and Growth Planning
Where should you set up a new facility? Which regions will face water scarcity risks in the future? Physical risk analysis enables you to make long-term investment decisions in a data-driven and more accurate manner.
Why is Transition Risk Analysis Strategic?
For Regulatory Compliance and Market Access
Carbon pricing mechanisms like SKDM, ETS, and mandatory reporting standards such as TSRS and CSRD mean serious financial burdens and market losses for companies that fail to comply.
For Competitive Advantage and Innovation Opportunities
Companies anticipating the transition process gain a leading position in the market by investing in low-carbon technologies, circular business models, and green products. Risk analysis helps you identify these innovation opportunities and act ahead of your competitors.
For Investor Confidence and Brand Value
Investors are pulling their capital from sectors that are carbon-intensive and unprepared for transition risks. Demonstrating that you understand and manage your transition risks facilitates your access to financing and conveys the message that your brand is "future-ready."
Why should you perform sustainability reporting?
For companies aiming for leadership on the sustainability journey, success is measured not only by taking the right steps but also by transparently and strategically communicating the value created by those steps to their stakeholders. Sustainability reporting has evolved from being a document prepared at the end of the year to becoming the most powerful communication tool through which you convey your company's vision, strategy, and performance to your stakeholders. It is not just an obligation but also the art of building trust, managing risks, and creating long-term value.
Reporting is essentially a management tool. Based on the principle that "you cannot manage what you do not measure," sustainability reporting presents your company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance with concrete data.
Why Should Sustainability Reporting Be Prioritized?
For Performance Management
The reporting process allows you to define your goals (e.g., emission reduction, water consumption, employee satisfaction), track progress, and shape your strategy based on this data. This is a proactive rather than reactive management approach.
For Risk and Opportunity Detection
Standards like TSRS and CDP require you to systematically analyze potential risks and opportunities across a wide range, from climate change to supply chain issues. You can use this process to build resilience against future crises and to seize new market opportunities.
For Investor Relations
Investors and financial institutions are now looking at not only financial returns but also ESG performance when directing their capital. For example, a reliable and standards-compliant TSRS report eases your access to financing by demonstrating your company's long-term value creation potential and risk management capabilities.
For Customer Loyalty
Consumers prefer transparent and responsible brands that share their values. Your report helps you avoid greenwashing by substantiating your sustainability claims with concrete data and fosters customer loyalty.
For Legal Compliance
Regulations such as TSRS in Turkey and CSRD in the European Union require thousands of companies to engage in comprehensive reporting. Leading companies see these obligations not as a burden but as an opportunity to improve their processes and differentiate themselves.
Sustainability reporting is a bridge that transforms your company's internal strategy into a meaningful story for the outside world. It is not just a report card detailing past performance but also a strategic manifesto that reveals your vision for the future, your resilience, and your commitment to leadership.

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is the passport for product manufacturers to access new green markets. A significant advantage is that LCA results can be published as an EPD.
EPD provides a competitive advantage in green markets and enhances brand reliability by transparently documenting environmental performance.
Water Footprint Consultancy
Water footprint is an environmental indicator that measures the amount of freshwater used throughout the entire value chain of a product or service. This analysis helps companies optimize their water usage and achieve sustainability goals by reducing water-related risks.
Companies face water-related risks that can lead to significant changes. Calculating the water footprint provides a critical perspective for developing an effective water strategy.
The water footprint calculated using the ISO 14046 standard allows for water conservation for future generations. Therefore, implementing this standard will determine the potential impact and help take control measures for water conservation.
SKDM (CBAM) Compliance Consulting
The European Union’s (EU) Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism (BCAM) is a climate policy tool aimed at promoting cleaner production processes in non-EU countries by introducing a fair pricing for the emissions generated in the production of carbon-intensive products. This mechanism aims to equalize the carbon costs of products imported into the EU with the carbon pricing that domestic producers face, and it has been designed in accordance with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.
From 2023 to 2025, during the transition period, only reporting obligations will be valid. However, starting in 2026, financial obligations will come into effect, and free allocations under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) will be gradually phased out. This transformation presents both a risk and a strategic preparation opportunity for exporting industrial enterprises.

Climate Risk Analysis Consultancy
Climate change has become not only a sustainability issue for companies today, but also a financial and operational risk. Life Climate helps you develop a resilience and opportunity-focused strategy by identifying the physical and transition risks your business may face in advance.
Climate risk analyses help you identify the climate risks that await your business or institution today and in the future. These studies identify parameters such as extreme weather events and climate-related disasters; they also analyze exposure to these events and resilience situations.
Why Should You Care?
Operational Resilience
Being prepared for extreme weather events and long-term climate effects minimizes business interruptions and damage costs.
Financial Performance and Investor Confidence
Understanding and managing climate risks in advance strengthens financial assurance; investors find this type of transparency valuable.
Compliance with Regulations and Reporting Requirements
Compliance is ensured through management processes guided by standards such as IFRS and CSRD. Reporting obligations, in particular, will increase by 2025.
Competitive Advantage and Opportunity Management
Besides risks, opportunities such as resource efficiency and supply diversification can be identified for sustainable growth.
Why do you need a corporate carbon footprint analysis?
For Strategic Risk Management and Investor Confidence
Investors and financial institutions prioritize companies that effectively manage climate-related risks. A comprehensive carbon footprint study forms the basis of your ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance; by complying with standards such as CDP, GRI, and TSRS / IFRS, it provides transparency and assurance to your stakeholders.
For Cost Optimization and Operational Efficiency
Your largest sources of emissions are often the areas with the highest energy consumption and operational inefficiencies. Carbon footprint reporting identifies these hotspots and offers concrete opportunities for energy efficiency and cost savings.
For a Net Zero Vision
The first and essential step in setting an ambitious and credible emissions reduction target like net zero is a comprehensive current state analysis. Carbon footprint analysis enables you to chart a science-based course in your company's journey towards climate leadership.
For Brand Reputation and Talent Management
Companies that transparently disclose their carbon footprint build trust among customers, employees, and society. This not only strengthens your brand's reputation but also makes it easier to attract and retain top talent.
Remember, leaders proactively manage risks and provide a competitive advantage by utilizing resources as efficiently as possible. The foundation of this is carbon footprint analysis.
Why do you need a carbon footprint analysis of the product?
For Supply Chain Leadership
For most companies, the largest portion of emissions (over 80%) is hidden in the supply chain. The product carbon footprint indicates which raw material, supplier, or logistics process has the greatest impact. This information allows you to lead your entire industry by transforming your supply chain into a low-carbon structure.
For Competitive Advantage
A product produced with low emissions is a strong choice for environmentally conscious B2B and B2C customers. The product carbon footprint allows you to base your marketing claims on solid data using tools like LCA and EPD, setting you apart from your competitors.
For Innovation and Sustainable Product Design
The product carbon footprint provides invaluable data to your R&D and product development teams. By understanding the impact of different materials and production processes, you can design the more efficient, lower cost, and low-carbon products of the future. Leaders redefine the market with innovation.
Why should you pay attention to climate risk analyses?
In today's world, climate change has shifted from being merely an environmental issue to a fundamental business risk that directly affects companies' operational continuity, financial stability, and market position. Anticipating, understanding, and managing these risks is no longer just a defensive mechanism but also a proactive strategy for sustainability leadership and a source of competitive advantage.
Climate risk analysis is addressed in two main and complementary dimensions: Physical Risks and Transition Risks.
Why is Physical Risk Analysis Strategic?
For Operational Continuity and Supply Chain Security
Knowing how resilient your facilities, logistics network, and raw material sources are to climate events is key to preventing production disruptions and supply chain crises.
For Financial Stability and Asset Protection
Physical risks can decrease the value of your assets (factories, warehouses, etc.) and increase your insurance costs. Anticipating these risks allows you to protect your assets and strengthen your financial stability.
For Strategic Investment and Growth Planning
Where should you set up a new facility? Which regions will face water scarcity risks in the future? Physical risk analysis enables you to make long-term investment decisions in a data-driven and more accurate manner.
Why is Transition Risk Analysis Strategic?
For Regulatory Compliance and Market Access
Carbon pricing mechanisms like SKDM, ETS, and mandatory reporting standards such as TSRS and CSRD mean serious financial burdens and market losses for companies that fail to comply.
For Competitive Advantage and Innovation Opportunities
Companies anticipating the transition process gain a leading position in the market by investing in low-carbon technologies, circular business models, and green products. Risk analysis helps you identify these innovation opportunities and act ahead of your competitors.
For Investor Confidence and Brand Value
Investors are pulling their capital from sectors that are carbon-intensive and unprepared for transition risks. Demonstrating that you understand and manage your transition risks facilitates your access to financing and conveys the message that your brand is "future-ready."
Why should you perform sustainability reporting?
For companies aiming for leadership on the sustainability journey, success is measured not only by taking the right steps but also by transparently and strategically communicating the value created by those steps to their stakeholders. Sustainability reporting has evolved from being a document prepared at the end of the year to becoming the most powerful communication tool through which you convey your company's vision, strategy, and performance to your stakeholders. It is not just an obligation but also the art of building trust, managing risks, and creating long-term value.
Reporting is essentially a management tool. Based on the principle that "you cannot manage what you do not measure," sustainability reporting presents your company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance with concrete data.
Why Should Sustainability Reporting Be Prioritized?
For Performance Management
The reporting process allows you to define your goals (e.g., emission reduction, water consumption, employee satisfaction), track progress, and shape your strategy based on this data. This is a proactive rather than reactive management approach.
For Risk and Opportunity Detection
Standards like TSRS and CDP require you to systematically analyze potential risks and opportunities across a wide range, from climate change to supply chain issues. You can use this process to build resilience against future crises and to seize new market opportunities.
For Investor Relations
Investors and financial institutions are now looking at not only financial returns but also ESG performance when directing their capital. For example, a reliable and standards-compliant TSRS report eases your access to financing by demonstrating your company's long-term value creation potential and risk management capabilities.
For Customer Loyalty
Consumers prefer transparent and responsible brands that share their values. Your report helps you avoid greenwashing by substantiating your sustainability claims with concrete data and fosters customer loyalty.
For Legal Compliance
Regulations such as TSRS in Turkey and CSRD in the European Union require thousands of companies to engage in comprehensive reporting. Leading companies see these obligations not as a burden but as an opportunity to improve their processes and differentiate themselves.
Sustainability reporting is a bridge that transforms your company's internal strategy into a meaningful story for the outside world. It is not just a report card detailing past performance but also a strategic manifesto that reveals your vision for the future, your resilience, and your commitment to leadership.
Choose the method that fits best
The sustainability journey can be complex and multilayered, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. Our expert team combines technical knowledge with strategic vision to take your company beyond mere legal compliance and make it a reference point in your industry.

With a robust data infrastructure, your reports support decision-making processes, accelerate your company's achievement of sustainability goals, and enhance stakeholder trust. We are here to provide our GRI consulting service for transparent, comparable, and effective sustainability reporting in your industry.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is an international, independent, and non-profit organization that supports businesses, public institutions, and other organizations in openly and clearly sharing their impacts on the world. Comprehensive and accurate reporting in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas is critical for both sustainable growth and transparency. However, without a standard methodology, evaluating sustainability reports can become challenging.
Who Is GRI Reporting Suitable For?
GRI standards are the most commonly used sustainability reporting standards utilized by over 10,000 organizations in more than 100 countries worldwide. They are suitable for large corporations, public institutions, civil society organizations, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. They are especially ideal for organizations progressing towards net-zero emission targets to track and report their performance.
Reports made using GRI as a reference provide an accessible sustainability reporting tool for organizations of all sizes and developmental stages.
For multinational companies, GRI standards are also of great importance. While different regions may have different sustainability requirements, GRI's consistent, measurable, and comparable structure provides a single standard reporting language.
What Are GRI Standards?
GRI standards consist of three main sections: universal standards, sector standards, and topic-specific standards. All organizations use the universal standards while selecting relevant sector and topic standards based on the sector they operate in and their priority issues. Sector standards are still under development, with new publications being released.
The universal standards are divided into three main headings:
GRI 1: Fundamental principles
GRI 2: General disclosures
GRI 3: Identifying key issues
Identifying key issues is a systematic process that involves understanding the context of the organization, identifying actual and potential impacts, prioritizing these impacts, and ultimately selecting the critical issues to be reported.
Topic standards are categorized into three groups:
GRI 200 Series: Economic topics
GRI 300 Series: Environmental topics
GRI 400 Series: Social topics
Each standard includes management approaches and topic-specific disclosures. The management approach describes how an organization manages a particular key issue, its impacts, and stakeholder expectations. For example, the GRI 403 standard covers social topics related to occupational health and safety and includes detailed disclosures.
Benefits of GRI Reporting
Organizations reporting with GRI standards better measure, disclose, and manage their impacts; they also more easily identify strategic opportunities. Consistent and transparent reporting strengthens the trust relationship with society, the sector, and employees, and increases market value in the long run. Investors are increasingly demanding such reports to better assess sustainability risks.
Sustainability reports prepared with GRI offer a current and forward-looking perspective. The standards are regularly updated, ensuring that the reports can be easily compared with both past reports and other reports across the sector.
Accurate and internationally recognized ESG reporting is essential for organizations to provide transparency to their stakeholders and investors, and to demonstrate compliance with carbon reduction targets. In 2023, 98.6% of S&P 500 companies published sustainability reports, and companies worldwide are increasingly recognizing the economic importance of ESG reporting.
We are here to help you make your sustainability reporting reliable, transparent, and comparable with our expert team and GRI standards.
Contact us to prepare ESG performance reports that create real value for your stakeholders.
CDP Consulting
The CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) is an international and independent civil society organization that enables organizations in the private and public sectors to transparently disclose their environmental impacts. CDP promotes annual environmental reporting and transparency to build a sustainable economy, combat climate change, and achieve a net-zero future.
CDP has the world’s most comprehensive self-reported environmental data pool. Thanks to disclosures made to CDP, the progress of companies and cities on sustainability issues can be tracked, performances can be scored, and the management of environmental impacts can be encouraged.
What Areas Does CDP Focus On?
CDP collects data in four core sustainability and environmental categories:
Climate Change: Companies are expected to provide information about climate risks and opportunities and share their strategies for low-carbon practices. Under the CDP climate change survey, data is requested on topics such as Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, governance, business strategy, carbon credit usage, internal carbon pricing, and the financial impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.
Water Security: CDP measures companies' efforts to enhance water use and water security. Additionally, it uncovers water risks in supply chains and helps companies establish partnerships for collaboration.
Deforestation: Deforestation poses serious threats to the climate system, water resources, and biodiversity. CDP tracks practices aimed at preventing deforestation in agricultural production and conserving natural ecosystems.
Plastics: CDP encourages companies to report their plastic usage and strategies to combat plastic pollution. This way, companies can proactively comply with new regulations regarding plastics.
CDP requests data not only from companies but also from cities, states, regions, and public institutions. In 2023, more than 23,200 companies and over 1,100 cities, states, and regions disclosed their environmental data through CDP.
How Are CDP Scores Calculated?
CDP evaluates disclosing organizations with a score ranging from “D-” to “A.” These scores indicate how effectively the organization takes action on climate change, deforestation, and water security. CDP’s evaluation system is aligned with IFRS. High-performing companies and cities enter the “A List.” Through repeated disclosures, organizations can track their progress over the years.
Benefits of CDP Reporting
Transparency and Trust: Clearly shows your organization's environmental impacts to stakeholders and investors.
Global Comparability: You can objectively compare your performance with companies worldwide.
Risk and Opportunity Management: You gain a strategic advantage by early detection of climate, water, and deforestation risks.
Investor Relations: CDP reports demonstrating your sustainability performance play a crucial role in investors' decisions.

TSRS/IFRS Consulting
IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 are global standards published by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) that help companies disclose their sustainability-related financial information in a consistent, comparable, and reliable manner. In Turkey, the adapted version of these standards, known as the Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), has come into effect as of 2024 and requires companies to report their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance transparently.
These standards aim to integrate sustainability into financial reporting and require companies to present all ESG risks and opportunities, especially climate change, along with their financial impacts. Reporting that is compliant with IFRS/TSRS offers significant advantages for enhancing international competitiveness, attracting investments, and securing stakeholder trust.
Key Components of IFRS/TSRS Reporting
Governance: The company's sustainability management and audit structure
Strategy: Integration of sustainability risks and opportunities into business strategy
Risk Management: Identification, assessment, and management of ESG risks
Metrics and Targets: Indicators and targets used to measure and monitor sustainability performance
TSRS is based on ISSB’s IFRS S1 and S2 standards. Compliance with these standards is both a legal requirement and a strategic opportunity for companies operating in Turkey to create long-term value.

Where should you set up a new facility? Which regions will face water scarcity risks in the future? Physical risk analysis enables you to make long-term investment decisions in a data-driven and more accurate manner.
Why is Transition Risk Analysis Strategic?
For Regulatory Compliance and Market Access
Carbon pricing mechanisms like SKDM, ETS, and mandatory reporting standards such as TSRS and CSRD mean serious financial burdens and market losses for companies that fail to comply.
For Competitive Advantage and Innovation Opportunities
Companies anticipating the transition process gain a leading position in the market by investing in low-carbon technologies, circular business models, and green products. Risk analysis helps you identify these innovation opportunities and act ahead of your competitors.
For Investor Confidence and Brand Value
Investors are pulling their capital from sectors that are carbon-intensive and unprepared for transition risks. Demonstrating that you understand and manage your transition risks facilitates your access to financing and conveys the message that your brand is "future-ready."
Why should you perform sustainability reporting?
For companies aiming for leadership on the sustainability journey, success is measured not only by taking the right steps but also by transparently and strategically communicating the value created by those steps to their stakeholders. Sustainability reporting has evolved from being a document prepared at the end of the year to becoming the most powerful communication tool through which you convey your company's vision, strategy, and performance to your stakeholders. It is not just an obligation but also the art of building trust, managing risks, and creating long-term value.
Reporting is essentially a management tool. Based on the principle that "you cannot manage what you do not measure," sustainability reporting presents your company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance with concrete data.
Why Should Sustainability Reporting Be Prioritized?
For Performance Management
The reporting process allows you to define your goals (e.g., emission reduction, water consumption, employee satisfaction), track progress, and shape your strategy based on this data. This is a proactive rather than reactive management approach.
For Risk and Opportunity Detection
Standards like TSRS and CDP require you to systematically analyze potential risks and opportunities across a wide range, from climate change to supply chain issues. You can use this process to build resilience against future crises and to seize new market opportunities.
For Investor Relations
Investors and financial institutions are now looking at not only financial returns but also ESG performance when directing their capital. For example, a reliable and standards-compliant TSRS report eases your access to financing by demonstrating your company's long-term value creation potential and risk management capabilities.
For Customer Loyalty
Consumers prefer transparent and responsible brands that share their values. Your report helps you avoid greenwashing by substantiating your sustainability claims with concrete data and fosters customer loyalty.
For Legal Compliance
Regulations such as TSRS in Turkey and CSRD in the European Union require thousands of companies to engage in comprehensive reporting. Leading companies see these obligations not as a burden but as an opportunity to improve their processes and differentiate themselves.
Sustainability reporting is a bridge that transforms your company's internal strategy into a meaningful story for the outside world. It is not just a report card detailing past performance but also a strategic manifesto that reveals your vision for the future, your resilience, and your commitment to leadership.
