Nurol Teknoloji has created sustainability keys and started to take steps to realize its goals in this direction.

Within the framework of ensuring the use of renewable energy resources, which is one of its sustainability goals, it has started to use the rooftop solar power plant, which it installed with the group company Nurol Solar, in the production site located in the Ankara-Gölbaşı factory. The power plant has an installed power of 975 kWp and its first electricity production was realized in November 2022. It limited the use of natural resources by including solar energy, one of the renewable energy sources, in the energy used in production and met 15% of the energy used in the factory with the energy obtained from the solar power plant with an area of 7400 m2.

With this target, Nurol Teknoloji has reduced a total of 585 tons of CO2 emissions from scope 2 emissions. Thus, it prevented the cutting down of 1.415 trees per year.
