Transforming Our Portfolio For Scalable, Sustainable Growth
At Sabancı Group, we are strengthening our global presence by driving transformation toward a sustainable future and creating long-term value for our stakeholders. In 2024, we advanced our portfolio transformation through a strategic and disciplined capital allocation framework — reinforcing our core businesses while expanding into new growth platforms. These platforms, including energy and climate technologies, material technologies, mobility solutions, and digital technologies, are selected based on their alignment with our strategic direction and sustainability priorities.

This evolution is grounded in our strong financial foundation and robust governance model. Together, they provide the clarity, agility, opportunity-focus, operational efficiency, and resilience needed to deliver meaningful impact.

Investing in New Growth Platforms

Driving Future Growth Through Strategic Investment and Interconnected Transition
We look ahead and seize new opportunities aligned with our sustainability goals. Across our M&A and corporate venture capital activities, we apply a structured evaluation process that prioritizes scalability, strategic fit, and alignment with our sustainability agenda. We focus on capturing opportunities in disruptive technologies with long-term growth potential. These governance mechanisms ensure that new investments not only support growth but also enhance portfolio resilience and risk diversification.

More than reacting to global trends, we are proactively investing in areas where Sabancı Group can lead — leveraging our industrial capabilities, cross-sectoral expertise, and ecosystem reach. We continue to cultivate partnerships with startups, technology developers, and strategic players to strengthen our innovation capacity and gain early access to future markets.

As Sabancı Group, we began tracking SDG-linked activities in 2022. In 2024, we allocated TL 6.5 billion to investments in these areas, reinforcing our commitment to aligning long-term financial performance with social and environmental impact.
