Green Transformation Summit in Konya's Industrial Sector

Konya Chamber of Industry President Büyükeğen, speaking at the "Green Transformation and Sustainability Summit" organized by the Konya Chamber of Industry, stated that Konya will be among the leading cities in green transformation as well.

The "Green Transformation and Sustainability Summit" was organized by the Konya Chamber of Industry (KSO). KSO President Mustafa Büyükeğen highlighted that Konya is among the leading cities that lead the Turkish industry and emphasized that they will also be among the pioneering cities in green transformation.

The summit, held at the KSO Conference Hall with the participation of industrialists and workplace representatives, discussed topics such as the European Green Deal, the impact of the green transformation process on the industry, and carbon neutrality. The summit also featured presentations on the efforts of the Konya Chamber of Industry regarding the green transformation process, and expert panelists from outside the province provided information on the path Konya's industrialists should follow.

Büyükeğen stated, "Europe aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 through the European Green Deal. The issue that is of vital importance to our industrialists is to reduce carbon emissions in their businesses, and if possible, make them carbon neutral, in order to avoid heavy tax burdens. This issue is crucial for both Konya's industry and the Turkish industry as a whole because the European Union is one of Konya's most significant trading partners. Last year, we conducted approximately 30% of our total exports, which exceeded 3.2 billion dollars, to EU countries. Therefore, preparing our businesses for this process is extremely valuable for all of us to ensure that our exports and trade continue uninterrupted."
