With its team of expert trainers, accredited and comprehensive content, and case study methodology with assessments, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Training has been implemented in accordance with Public Oversight Authority (POA) Board Resolutions No. 21632 and 21634, published in the Official Gazette dated December 29, 2023, and numbered 32414 (1.M), and the Turkey Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) have been put into effect, and the companies that will implement the TSRS have been determined. Accordingly, the Turkey Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) have been implemented, and the companies that will implement the TSRS have been determined. (KGK) Board Decisions numbered 21632 and 21634, published in the Official Gazette dated December 29, 2023, and numbered 32414 (1.M), the Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) have entered into force, and the companies that will implement the TSRS have been determined. Accordingly, starting from the accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2024, companies are required to prepare sustainability reports.
Therefore, in addition to corporate sustainability reporting becoming mandatory as of 2024, improving the quality and reliability of reporting and sustainability audit processes has become a necessity.
In this context, a series of regulations have been implemented to standardize training organized within the framework of the TSRS and to increase the competence and capacity of the “green-collar” human resources who will work in businesses.
ANKON Consulting has applied to the Authority for accreditation in accordance with the content of the regulations and has completed the necessary work required for the application. In this context, it has been accredited by the KGK to organize Corporate Sustainability Reporting Training.
We believe we are the right choice for corporate sustainability reporting training, and we are delighted to offer a comprehensive training program and case study developed in collaboration with our team of expert academics and industry specialists.
Our next Corporate Sustainability Reporting Training will be held in Ankara on November 6, 2025, in collaboration with ASO.
