Bizim Toptan will renewably meet its entire energy requirement at its Gebze store with its newly installed rooftop solar power system.

As part of its clean energy investments toward decarbonization and contributing to the struggle against climate change, Bizim Toptan is commissioning a solar power system in its Gebze store. The 264 kWp installed power to be generated via the rooftop solar system will meet 107 percent of the store’s power consumption, which exceeds its overall energy consumption. This investment aims to achieve an annual carbon emission reduction of 141 tons at Bizim Toptan, corresponding to the greenhouse gas that approximately 6 thousand 300 trees can clean annually.

Hüseyin Balcı:  “We are focusing on clean energy investments.”

Bizim Toptan CEO Hüseyin Balcı noted that as one of the leading companies in the industry, they consider generating sustainable value for all their stakeholders a significant responsibility. Stating that they made successful progress toward their strategic goals in 2022, Balcı said: “As we expand our operations, we believe we are responsible toward our world, all living things, and future generations. To this end, as a pioneering company in its field, we are focusing on renewable energy investments and technologies that enhance energy efficiency. Advancing and implementing climate technologies is critical for the global net zero agenda. Half of the global power requirement is still met using fossil sources. But a sustainable world is only possible through increasing the share of renewable energy sources in energy generation and ensuring efficient energy use. The renewable energy system implemented in our Gebze store will help us obtain our entire power requirement from the sun and set an example in the industry. We will keep making more such investments, contributing to Yıldız Holding’s ‘net zero’ goal by 2050.”
