As in many parts of the world, Turkey, like many other regions of the world, is also affected by climate change and energy crisis effects of drought. Drought poses a significant threat in many areas, from agricultural production to energy generation, while rising energy costs are putting an economic strain on companies. These challenges are forcing companies to focus on both environmental and economic sustainability goals. So what role can companies play against these crises? How can we overcome these challenges through efficiency and innovation?
The Converging Impacts of Climate Change and the Energy Crisis
Drought is rapidly depleting Turkey's water resources and negatively affecting hydroelectric power generation. While a significant portion of Turkey's electricity is provided by hydroelectric power plants, the decline in water levels in dams due to drought jeopardizes energy supply. This increases the use of fossil fuels, driving up energy costs and further increasing carbon emissions. The economic dimension of the energy crisis increases the operational costs of businesses, making it harder for them to achieve their sustainability goals.
Corporate Responsibility: Innovative Solutions to the Crisis
Companies can turn these challenges into opportunities by adopting proactive approaches to climate change and the energy crisis. Sustainable energy solutions are an effective tool to both control costs and reduce environmental impact. Here are innovative approaches that companies can adopt in this process:
- Increasing Energy Efficiency
Companies by increasing energy efficiency can both lower their costs and reduce their environmental impact. Energy monitoring and management systems analyze consumption patterns, prevent unnecessary energy use and optimize operational processes.
- Renewable Energy Investments
Investing in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind not only reduces the carbon footprint of businesses, but also lowers long-term energy costs. In Turkey, mechanisms such as YEKDEM make renewable energy projects more attractive.
- Carbon Management and Sustainability Goals
Companies can achieve their sustainability goals by using advanced software to measure and reduce carbon emissions. AI-powered energy management platforms like Apollo can help businesses carbon management and energy efficiency.
- Circular Economy Approaches
Recycling and reusing waste provides both environmental and economic benefits. Energy use with a circular approach optimization makes significant contributions to sustainability strategies.
- Cross-Sector Cooperation
Solving the drought and energy crisis requires cross-sectoral cooperation beyond individual efforts. Companies can offer collective solutions to these problems by developing joint projects with public institutions and NGOs.
