Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Moderate	ENKA Insaat discloses a formal process for making sure that its external engagement is consistent with its sustainability and climate objectives, stating that it "ensures its engagements activities are in line with its sustainability strategy by monitoring these activities via its Corporate Sustainability and Compliance Department at Headquarters and via its sustainability representatives at its subsidiaries and projects" and adding that "ENKA's Sustainability Committee also has a review on aligning the engagement with the strategy." Oversight responsibility is clearly identified at senior level: "The processes … are managed under the leadership of the ENKA’s Chairman of the Board" and "The revisions made to the strategy … are assessed, audited and approved by the Chairman of the Board of Directors," which indicates that the Chairman-led Sustainability Committee plays an active supervisory role. These disclosures show the company has a defined mechanism and named governance bodies to review and approve engagement activities for alignment with climate-related strategy, suggesting moderate lobbying-governance strength. However, the company does not disclose whether this oversight specifically covers direct lobbying versus trade-association advocacy, provides no detail on criteria or frequency of reviewing policy positions, and offers no public audit or report of lobbying alignment, so the extent and transparency of its lobbying governance remain limited.

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Comprehensive	ENKA demonstrates a very high level of transparency around its climate-policy lobbying. The company identifies multiple concrete policy instruments it seeks to influence, including the ratification of the Paris Agreement by the Turkish Parliament, the Turkish GHG Monitoring, Reporting and Verification regulation, the forthcoming Turkish Climate Change and Emissions Trading System regulation, and a proposed mandate for climate-related reporting by public companies. It also sets out the channels it uses: the CEO’s position on the board of the business association TÜSİAD, participation in TÜSİAD’s Environment and Climate Change Working Group and the TÜYİD Sustainability Working Group, and the submission and publication of comments on draft legislation—clearly linking these mechanisms to the Turkish Government and regulators responsible for the new climate law, ETS and reporting requirements. Finally, ENKA spells out the policy outcomes it supports: successful enactment and implementation of the national climate-mitigation and low-carbon development strategy, adoption of the new ETS and climate law, introduction of mandatory sustainability reporting, and increased incentives for energy-efficiency and low-carbon technology investments. By detailing the specific regulations, the advocacy routes and the concrete objectives it pursues, the company provides comprehensive insight into its climate-related lobbying activity.	A
