Amendment to the Green Transformation Program Implementation Communiqué
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This amendment rewrites key rules for Turkey’s Green Transformation Program, which supports manufacturing companies that invest in measurable environmental improvements. Applicants must now submit a five-year facility-level green transformation roadmap through the program portal, set concrete targets, appoint a green transformation team and leader, and use the portal for applications, reviews, progress reports, revisions, and final measurements. The changes make the program more target-driven and more closely tied to investment incentives. Projects must meet measurable goals, generally reach at least 75% of each target, and may lose program benefits if they fall short. Companies already holding or seeking Green Transformation Center status should check whether they also have a valid Investment Incentive Certificate, because some existing titles may be cancelled if that certificate is not obtained in time.
