Our Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) compliant Sustainability Reports which focus on our environmental, social and economic performance, our studies for dealing with climatic change, energy efficiency studies, product life cycle assessments, management systems studies and corporate social responsibility projects are each a reflection of our strategy.

Çevre Dostu Ürün Çözümleri

Concrete

Concrete additives play a key role in transforming traditional concrete into a sustainable material that meets high performance demands. Thanks to their flow characteristics, our products reduce the energy, noise and vibration required during concrete pouring. They also support the use of sustainable materials such as recycled aggregate in concrete production. With its ease of application, it facilitates concrete placement and helps shorten process times at construction site.

• With our Politon Series and Süperton Series products, we saved water and reduced use of cement in concrete production. In 2022, with these products alone, we saved approximately 550 thousand m³ of water in concrete plants and reduced use of cement by 425 thousand tons.


Cement

We reduce the clinker factor in cement production with our building chemical products. At the same time, we facilitate the grinding process by increasing the amount of mineral additives in cement. In this way, we reduce carbon emissions in cement production through less clinker use and less electricity consumption. With these products, we reduced use of cement by 400 thousand tons in 2021 and 525 thousand tons in 2022.

• Our Policem Series cement chemicals provide energy savings in cement production. In 2022, these products contributed to production of 8 million tons of cement with zero energy consumption.

Underground

With our product specifically developed for water saving, we have reduced the amount of water required for removal of 1 ton of material by tunnel boring machines by 114 m³. This way, we saved 900 thousand m³ of water at customer sites in 2022 and approximately 1.850 thousand m3 of water in the last 3 years. In addition, our products offer cost benefits in terms of maintenance costs and depreciation expenses by reducing the wear of construction equipment.

In addition, our products improve maintenance costs and depreciation expenses by reducing the wear and tear of construction equipment.

Life Cycle Analysis

We have completed our work for 'Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)' and 'Environmental Product Declaration EPD ' in our building materials product groups. We obtained our EPD documents by completing Environmental Product Declarations for 27 of our products in 8 product groups.
