GHG Emissions and Carbon Footprint

Greenhouse gas emissions, which is one of the primary causes of global warming, has become one of the main agenda items worldwide with the Paris Agreement signed in 2015. Rönesans Holding contributes to social and economic sustainability by aiming to be a pioneer in raising awareness about the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions in the construction sector.

The Greenhouse Gas Emission Management System was established to mitigate and control greenhouse gas emissions from all the projects and businesses by Rönesans Holding group companies. The purpose of this system is to determine the greenhouse gas emissions that could arise due to any and all projects and activities conducted by Rönesans Holding and to establish corporate goals for the monitoring and prospective mitigation of such gases by all group companies. The projects and activities carried out for this purpose are structured in accordance with international standards, laws and regulations and the ISO 14064 standard. Using the Greenhouse Gas Emission Management System, we also aim to prepare periodic carbon footprint reports for our projects and businesses.

Biodiversity

Rönesans aims to preserve biodiversity, maintain ecosystem services and manage natural resources in a sustainable manner.

Rönesans plans primarily to eliminate the negative impact of its projects and businesses on biodiversity and the ecosystem. When it is not possible to eliminate the negative effects, the holding aims to minimize this impact. If its activities affect communities that depend on biodiversity as their main source of income, Rönesans takes measures to help improve the habitat or the ecosystem.

Waste Management

In order to protect the environment and achieve its sustainability goals, Rönesans makes it a priority to prevent, reuse, separate, recycle, recover and dispose waste, adopt source reduction practices and ensure control and inspection after disposal

The waste generated by projects and businesses carried out by Rönesans Holding’s group companies are effectively monitored and managed.
