This badge certifies on-site participation in Corporate Sustainability Reporting by ANKON Consulting.
Title of the Training: Corporate Sustainability Reporting Training (KSRU).
Scope and Objectives of the Training: According to Article 3, Paragraph 1 of the decision of the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK), sustainability reporting has become mandatory as of 2025 for companies meeting certain thresholds.
With the transition to mandatory corporate sustainability reporting in Türkiye, a certification process for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Experts has been initiated to enhance the quality and reliability of sustainability reports and to build “green-collar” capacity within organizations.
Corporate sustainability reporting experts are professionals with specialized competencies who work collaboratively with finance, accounting, risk, environmental, and other departments, taking responsibility for all stages of sustainability reporting—from preparation to disclosure.
ANKON Consulting has been officially accredited by the Public Oversight Authority (KGK) on 19 December 2024, in accordance with the “Procedures and Principles for Corporate Sustainability Reporting Training” published in the Official Gazette dated 4 June 2024 (No. 32566), to deliver training under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Expertise Program.
