In order to determine the issues that IC Holding prioritizes in the field of sustainability, the "IC Holding Sustainability Priorities Analysis" study was conducted for the first time in 2022. The study was carried out by following the survey method, covering IC Holding's internal and external stakeholders. A total of 1,096 responses were received from stakeholders including IC Holding employees, suppliers, business partners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and universities, public institutions, customers, foreign stakeholders, the finance unit and IC Holding senior management. By excluding a total of 395 responses that were not scored by the participants and gave full points to all priority issues, the number of responses evaluated was determined as 701. The priority topics evaluated by the participants within the scope of the survey studies were determined as a result of sector analysis and interviews with IC Holding representatives.
The 21 sustainability topics included in the survey were analyzed in line with the results, and 8 of the topics were evaluated as the highest priority issues for both internal and external stakeholders.
Plastic and Water Management
Corporate Governance
Risk Management
Diversity, Equal Opportunity and Inclusion
Fighting the Climate Crisis and Transitioning to a Low Carbon Economy
Occupational Health and Safety
Ethics, Compliance with Laws and Anti-Corruption
Employee Rights and Satisfaction
Following the meetings held with the senior management for the topics identified as the highest priority according to the survey results for the creation of IC Holding’s strategy for alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG-5, SDG-8, SDG-9 and SDG-13 were identified as the shared SDGs of IC Holding within the scope of IC Holding’s activities and sustainability targets.
While activities are carried out in harmony with all other SDGs, focal sub-working groups have been established within the IC Holding Sustainability Governance Structure to carry out activities specific to these shared SDGs.
In addition to the said shared SDGs, Group Companies may also include other SDGs in their materiality lists, considering their corporate structure and priorities in their fields of activity.
IC Holding, whose mission is to make sustainability a culture, carries out all its activities with the awareness of its responsibility towards future generations and prioritizes sustainability for all business models with the Impact of Development approach while planning its future operations. In this context, in addition to its operational targets, it also defines its sustainability targets for material topics, including their deadlines and the SDGs they are related to.
