Climate Transition Plan 2025- 2030
Our contribution from Türkiye to limiting warming to 1.5 degrees
We are part of the science-based climate commitment of the Forvis Mazars global network. Our near-term Climate Transition Plan sets out how we will contribute to this commitment from Türkiye: which actions we will take, on what timeline and who is responsible for them.
Climate Transition Plan 2025-2030
2030- reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions
2030- reduction in Scope 3 emissions
2050- Scope 1+2 / Scope 3 reduction, on the way to net zero
What is a climate transition plan?
reach its climate targets. It goes beyond announcing a target. It explains
which actions, timeline and resources will be used to reduce emissions,
how climate risks will be managed, and how employees, suppliers and
clients will be supported through the transition.
Our plan was prepared by our Strategic Projects and Internal Sustainability
team, reviewed by our Sustainability Committee and approved by our CEO.
Our science-based targets
Together with its member firms in more than 100 countries, Forvis Mazars set a common emissions baseline and targets, which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In Türkiye, we set our own targets within this framework.
Timeframe | Scope | Forvis Mazars Group | Forvis Mazars Türkiye |
| Near term (2030) | Scope 1+2 | -%64 | -%42 |
| Near term (2030) | Scope 3 | -%34 | -%25 |
| Long term | Scope 1+2 | -%95 (2038) | -%95 (2050) |
| Long term | Scope 3 | -%90 (2045) | -%90 (2050) |
| Net zero | All scopes | 2045 | 2050 |
Scope 1: direct emissions such as natural gas in our offices, company vehicles and refrigerants. Scope 2: the electricity we purchase. Scope 3: indirect emissions in our value chain, such as business travel, employee commuting and the goods and services we purchase.
What will we do by 2030?
Our plan consists of ten actions that target our largest sources of emissions. We have grouped them into six areas below.
SCOPE 2 / 2023-2030
Renewable electricity
We continue to coverthe electricity used in our offices with renewable energy certificates (I-RECs).
Expected impact 94% reduction in Scope 2
SCOPE 1+2 / 2026-2030
Energy-efficient offices
We are moving to LED lighting and energyefficient IT equipment, keeping heating at optimal temperatures and switching equipment off outside working hours. We are also reducing refrigerant leaks through regular maintenance of air conditioning systems and considering green building criteria when we move orrefit offices.
Expected impact Lower emissions from office energy use and refrigerants
SCOPE 1 / BY 2031
Electric vehicle fleet
We are considering a gradual switch of half of our company and leased vehicles to fully electric models.
Expected impact 44% reduction in vehicle emissions
SCOPE 3 / 2025-2030
Sustainable travel
Through our Business Travel Policy, published in 2025, we encourage rail for journeys underfive hours, online meetings and public transport for commuting.
Expected impact 10-15% reduction in travel emissions
SCOPE 3 / 2025-2030
Responsible procurement and circularity
We are adding ESG criteria to supplier selection, sending electronic equipment for reuse and donation, and reducing waste.
Expected impact 33% reduction in purchasing emissions and 20% in waste emissions
ALL SCOPES / 2026-2030
Management system and culture
We are setting up an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System and involving every employee through training on energy efficiency, sustainable transport and digital sustainability.
Target ISO 14001 (2030)
*Each expected impact applies to its own emission source. As impacts may overlap, they should not be added together.
Leaving no one behind
Our people
We implement our actions taking into account working conditions, safety, accessibility and economic effects. We offer development opportunities in the new skills the green transition calls for, and track the effects through employee surveys.
Our suppliers
We introduce our sustainable procurement criteria gradually and transparently, and offerinformation and development support to suppliers at different stages of maturity.
Our clients and society
We support our clients with climate and sustainability advisory services and training, and help women, young people and disadvantaged groups access knowledge about the green transition.
From near term to net zero
Base year/ We measured our starting point at 896 tCO2e.
Plan in place/ Travel policy, I-RECs, supplier ESG criteria and approval of the Climate Transition Plan.
Near-term target/ 42% reduction in Scope 1+2 and 25% in Scope 3; ISO 14001.
Net zero/ 95% reduction in Scope 1+2 and 90% in Scope 3, with residual emissions removed.
How do we monitor the plan?
Approval
The plan was approved by our CEO, who also serves as our Corporate Sustainability Ambassador.
Monitoring
The Sustainability Committee monitors progress against the plan and meets quarterly. Progress is reported to the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
Reporting
We calculate our greenhouse gas inventory every year and report progress publicly in our Integrated Report, which is approved by the Board of Directors.
Risk management
We identify climate risks through a structured methodology: defining risk drivers, analysing value chain effects, assessing impact and likelihood, then scoring and prioritising each risk.
