The risk management procedure related to climate change risks and opportunities basically involves consideration of regulatory and reputational risks, which may have the highest impact on the demand for our products (prioritization criteria). The procedure is mostly influenced by the climate change awareness among the top-level management and the requests/feedback of our consumers and retailers concentrating more on climate change/energy efficiency related performance. The assessment of risks is mainly relying on monitoring of environmental data related to climate change such as GHG emissions and emission intensity (i.e. GHG emissions per product) which is being collected and processed by the Management Systems unit. Zorlu Risk Management Group and Chief of Management Systems regularly report to the responsible executive board member and observed risks (if any) are being discussed by the Board and actions are being defined by the top management. Physical risks (risks/opportunities at an asset level) are also assessed by Zorlu Risk Management Group and related departments like IT,Maintenance&Investment etc..They continuously evaluate Vestel factory and office facilities.

CC2.2a
Please describe the process of how climate change is integrated into your business strategy and any outcomes of this process
Having received significant attention of governments, investors and also individuals over the last decades, the risks associated with the climate change are inevitably affecting the manufacturing industry as well as all industries, although the risks are assumed not to have considerably higher impacts as in the case of energy sector and/or energy intensive industries. As Vestel Electronics, we are placing ‘environmental sustainability’ and decreasing the ecological footprint of our products at the core of our business strategy. Furthermore, as being the manufacturer of high technology energy efficient products, which help our consumers to actually reduce their footprint, we have increased awareness on the impacts of climate change on our business. Climate drivers are important factors that we pay attention in building our broad company strategy that addresses; •Caring for the environment and climate starting from the designing phase of our products to the manufacturing phase •Prioritizing investment and expansion in manufacturing of the most energy efficient products in our production portfolio •Increasing RD activities and dedicated budget for developing new production methodologies and products with decreased ecological footprint •Continuously looking for opportunities to reduce waste and enable use of materials suitable for reuse and recycle • Promoting use of new technologies to save energy and to boost energy efficiency in all operations •Raising employees’ and consumers’ awareness on environmental protection and energy efficiency •Ensuring effective communication to stakeholders and proper disclosure of environmental and climate performance The basic influence of climate change in our strategy is that we have taken the first step in preparing our company for the impacts by working on understanding how our business activities and investments are affected by climate change and preparing the infrastructure to make it a part of our management culture also by identifying the interdependencies between climate change risks and other risks relevant to our company. Investing in R&D has always been valued by our company, and R&D that is directed to serving for eliminating climate risks, such as developing practices and/or products that improve efficiency and/or eliminate emissions both on the production side and on the consumer side, has become our leading strategy. While building our climate strategy, in the short term, we have started by quantifying our emissions broadly and we are started to prepare a detailed carbon emission inventory and continue to achieve for third party verification. In the medium term, we will also be identifying and quantifying the carbon impacts along our value chain. In the long terms we will be planning for putting targets related to our climate performance. On the product end, our strategy has basically led to manufacturing of Energy Class A TVs and to our decision in expanding business in manufacturing of LED TVs&eco TVs and LED lightings and also Electrical Vehicle chargers in 2017 by increasing our production capacity. We also spared an unlimited R&D budget for developing products with improved environmental performance. Vestel Electronics, which is already a strong market player, is gaining distinctive competency through implementation of its business strategy, which enables our company to be the
manufacturer of most energy efficient products with decreased ecological footprint, which are being preferred by the environmentally conscious consumers, who are increasing with a sharp pace.
