Ülker Rises to World First Place for the Second Time
Turkey's leading food company, Ülker, has once again claimed the top spot in its category in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance assessment conducted by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), an international financial analysis and reporting organization.
The evaluation of publicly traded companies' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance by the international financial analysis and reporting organization LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group) has been announced.
Ülker, which has been committed to sustainability for many years with its "waste-free company culture," achieved the highest score among 484 companies evaluated in its category as of January 2025*, following a similar success in January 2024. This remarkable achievement marks Ülker's second time ranking as the global leader in its category. Ülker also continues to maintain its leadership among companies across all sectors listed in Borsa Istanbul.
The LSEG evaluation considers over 100 performance criteria, including energy, water, emissions, waste management, human rights, labor practices, corporate social responsibility, supply chain management, and responsible production.
"Our ESG Success Has Been Recognized Internationally Once Again"
Ülker CEO Mete Buyurgan emphasized that their sustainability performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) areas places them in a leadership position on both national and international platforms. Buyurgan continued:
“At Ülker, we focus on enhancing our strong governance structure and improving our resilience against sustainability risks to achieve the goal of building a resilient global food system. Across all environmental, social, and governance dimensions, we have placed sustainability, which we believe transforms us, at the core of our efforts.
Through our internal practices and projects that serve as examples for the sector and society, we have delivered both environmental sustainability and social benefits. We are pleased that our commitment to meeting ESG criteria has been validated once again on international platforms through LSEG’s performance evaluation. Being ranked first among all companies in Borsa Istanbul, regardless of sector, brings us additional pride.
In 2024, our issuance of $550 million in sustainability-linked international bonds with a 7-year maturity demonstrated the trust international investors place in us, motivating us further. Moving forward, we will continue to maintain strong financial performance while, with our agile management approach, further developing our production, supply chain, and logistics infrastructure. We remain committed to increasing investments in sustainability through R&D, innovation, and digitalization to contribute to a more livable world.”
