With extensive experience in integrated sustainability reporting, the Company aims to maintain the same high reporting quality under TSRS. This report is designed not only to meet regulatory obligations but also to emphasize transparency and comprehensiveness in sector-specific indicators.
The TSRS-compliant sustainability report ("Report") of Doğuş Otomotiv and its affiliates (the "Group") has been prepared in line with TSRS 1 and TSRS 2. Sustainability practices, risks, and opportunities of the entities listed below are incorporated across the report.
The report covers the same period and scope as the Doğuş Otomotiv 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements and is structured according to the "connected information" principle recommended by TSRS 1. All disclosed information has been determined considering potential impacts on the Company's short-, medium-, and long-term cash flows, access to financing, and cost of capital.
TSRS provides certain transitional exemptions for the first reporting period during which the standards are applied. The Company has applied selected exemptions in accordance with Articles E3, E4, E5, and E6 in TSRS 1 and C3, C4, and C5 in TSRS 2:
TSRS 1-E3 and TSRS 2-C3: Comparative information is not required in the first annual reporting period. This report covers only 2024; previous years' sustainability and climate-related financial data are not included.
This report has been prepared by Doğuş Otomotiv Servis ve Ticaret A.Ş. (hereinafter "Doğuş Otomotiv" or the "Company") for the fiscal year 1 January – 31 December 2024. It represents the Company's first sustainability report aligned with the Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS). The reporting process was conducted in accordance with TSRS 1 – General Principles for Disclosure of Sustainability-Related Financial Information and TSRS 2 – Climate-Related Disclosures, issued by the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK; Kamu Gözetimi, Muhasebe ve Denetim Standartları Kurumu) and effective 1 January 2024. 2024 TSRS-COMPLIANT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT INTRODUCTION COMPANY OVERVIEW
TSRS 1-E4: In the first annual reporting period applying TSRS, sustainability-related financial disclosures may follow the publication of the relevant financial statements. This report is published in September 2025, following the publication of the Q2 2025 financial statements.
TSRS 1-E5: In the first annual reporting period applying TSRS, (as per TSRS 2) only climate-related risks and opportunities need to be disclosed, and therefore the provisions of TSRS 1 are applied solely to the extent relevant to climate-related risk and opportunity disclosures. This report includes only climaterelated risks and opportunities. Governance, strategy, and risk management disclosures, however, cover all sustainability topics including climate.
TSRS 1-E6(a): Comparative disclosure of climate-related risks and opportunities is not required in the first reporting period. The Company shares only 2024 data on climate risks and opportunities. Temporary Article 3 of the Board Decision on TSRS Scope of Application: During the first two annual reporting periods applying TSRS, disclosure of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions is not mandatory. The Company has not disclosed Scope 3 emissions for 2024 in this report.
This report has been prepared under the TSRS framework for the fiscal period of 1 January – 31 December 2024, and reporting boundaries are clearly defined according to TSRS 1 – General Principles for Disclosure of Sustainability-Related Financial Information and TSRS 2 – Climate-Related Disclosures. Within the binding framework of the TSRS issued by the KGK, the boundaries and measurement approach presented in this section aim to ensure transparency for both regulatory compliance and audit processes.
According to Paragraph 20 of TSRS 1, the report incorporates risks and opportunities of affiliates, and associates with significant strategic impact, aligned with TFRS reporting.

This report has been prepared not only for the standalone operations of Doğuş Otomotiv Servis ve Ticaret A.Ş., but also includes all subsidiaries and associates consolidated in the financial statements as shown under section 1.3.1. Consolidated Approach and Scope in accordance with Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS). The approach considers financial control, sustainability impact, and riskbearing capacity.
The criteria taken into account in adopting this structure are the role of the relevant entities within Doğuş Otomotiv's value chain, their strategic impact on the Company's financials, and their functional contribution to sustainability risks and opportunities within the integrated reporting approach.

| DOĞUŞ OTOMOTİV | 2024 TSRS-COMPLIANT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT |
In line with TSRS 1 requirements, sustainability disclosures are based on the principle of materiality*, covering all information and indicators reasonably expected to influence the enterprise's future cash flows, cost of capital, or access to financing.
The data collection process is carried out in accordance with Doğuş Otomotiv's institutionalized internal control framework and integrated reporting practices. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance indicators are regularly obtained from the relevant business units and analyzed within the sustainability performance management cycle. Measurement methods are applied in line with the qualitative characteristics of TSRS 1—namely consistency, comparability, verifiability, and timeliness.
For climate-related disclosures, TSRS 2 is used as the basis. Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are calculated using the operational control boundary** approach, covering all activities over which Doğuş Otomotiv maintains operational control. This approach aligns with TSRS 2's requirement for transparent definition of organizational boundaries. Emission factors are derived from sector practices and internationally/nationally recognized sources, with detailed methodological explanations presented in the respective metric sections.
* Under TSRS 1, materiality requires an assessment of whether the disclosed information is related to sustainability risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to influence the reporting enterprise's short-, medium-, or long-term cash flows, cost of capital, or access to financing. For information to be considered material, its omission, misstatement, or concealment must be likely to influence the decisions of primary users of general-purpose financial reports (investors, lenders, and other creditors) to a significant degree. The sustainability disclosures in this report have been determined based on the materiality assessment defined in Paragraphs 17–19 of TSRS 1 and include only risks and opportunities whose financial impact is reasonably foreseeable. The disclosed information covers aspects that may influence users' decisions regarding the enterprise's future financial adequacy. In conducting the materiality assessment, Doğuş Otomotiv has adhered to the judgment-based approach prescribed by TSRS 1, considering not only the current impact but also the likelihood and scope of future occurrences, shaping the content of this report accordingly. ** Corporate operational control boundaries refer to the system boundaries defined by an enterprise when reporting greenhouse gas emissions, based on the units over which it exercises operational control. This approach focuses on how activities are managed and operated rather than on legal ownership. Accordingly, the enterprise includes all facilities, partnerships, and operational processes over which it has the authority to establish policies and processes within its system boundary. This type of boundary aligns with Paragraph 27 of TSRS 2, which requires that "the organizational boundaries used when disclosing greenhouse gas emissions should be clearly defined, and transparency should be provided regarding which units are covered by the disclosed data." The concept is also defined in the GHG Protocol – Corporate Standard as follows: "A company has operational control over an operation if it or one of its subsidiaries has the full authority to introduce and implement its operating policies at the operation." (GHG Protocol, Chapter 3.2)
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
All reported indicators are structured to be subject to limited assurance by independent audit. The measurement system and reporting language aim to ensure full compliance with TSRS obligations while providing integrity consistent with international verification practices.
The GHG emissions data presented in this report are calculated in accordance with the TSRS and aligned with the internationally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). Calculations cover Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect energy-related emissions), using datasets and conversion factors appropriate to each activity type and sourced from reliable references.
Emission factors are primarily based on the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, supplemented by Türkiye-specific national resources for energy and fuel types. Calculations are activity-data-driven and conducted with a precautionary approach, with each type of emission reported separately.
GHG Organizational Boundaries (Reporting Boundaries and Measurement Approach): The Group defined reporting boundaries based on the operational control approach, encompassing business areas where the Group has the authority to control and manage operational activities. Deciding which approach to adopt and accurately defining the scope of activities under operational control is considered a strategic process for the Company.
GHG Calculation Methods (Metric-Specific Bases): Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were calculated using methods aligned with the GHG Protocol. To minimize uncertainty, the management implemented processes to ensure the accuracy of activity data, with results subjected to additional checks and verifications.
Prioritization (Financial Materiality and Prioritization): The management has applied a financial prioritization methodology, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses, to identify climaterelated risks and opportunities relevant to Group companies. The outputs of this assessment were finalized following review by the Risk Management Department and the Sustainability Committee, and subsequent approval by the Board of Directors. Decisions on which information could reasonably impact the Company's financial expectations or influence primary users' decision-making were addressed within the 'Risk Management' framework. Examination of the metrics related to disclosure topics defined in sector-based SASB standards, and analysis of group-specific material risk areas, were also integral to the prioritization process. 2024 TSRS-COMPLIANT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT INTRODUCTION COMPANY OVERVIEW
GHG-related metrics (Calculation Principles for Metrics): Unless otherwise specified or required under IFRS S2, the Group assesses emissions within the framework of the GHG Protocol. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol's Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Emission factors are drawn from authoritative sources such as the IPCC, national regulators, and environmental authorities. However, data limitations, incomplete activity datasets, and reliance on assumptions or estimates may introduce a degree of measurement uncertainty. To mitigate this, the Company continuously monitors operational data and periodically reviews its calculation methodologies.
The accuracy and consistency of the sustainability data and disclosures presented in this report have been structured to be subject to limited assurance by an independent audit firm. Accordingly, the methodology applied, measurement approaches, and data collection processes have been defined in detail in alignment with applicable assurance standards; at every stage of the report, the principles of consistency, traceability, and transparency have been upheld.
With its long-standing expertise in sustainability, Doğuş Otomotiv has not limited the reporting process merely to compliance with the regulatory framework but has also supported it with a systematic structure and a level of transparency designed to serve as a benchmark during the assurance process.
In accordance with Paragraph 21 of TSRS 1, this report has been prepared holistically within the principle of connectivity of information with the Doğuş Otomotiv 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements published for the same reporting period. All disclosed climate-related risks and opportunities have been evaluated together with their impacts on the financial strategy, and the potential effects of these risks on the financial statements have been presented in the relevant sections of this report.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
This section provides essential information regarding Doğuş Otomotiv's business model, areas of operation, organizational structure, and strategic influence across the value chain within the framework of the TSRS. As stipulated in Paragraphs 28 and 29 of TSRS 1, to enable users to understand the financial implications of sustainability-related risks and opportunities, the report explains how the Company operates, the resources on which its activities and financial outcomes depend, the nature of its operations, how it creates value, and how these processes are linked to its overall strategy.
In this context, Doğuş Otomotiv's history, operational scope, organizational structure, business model, roles throughout the value chain, and the relationship between its sustainability strategies and corporate operations are addressed comprehensively, thereby providing the basis for understanding the subsequent disclosures on risks, opportunities, metrics, and targets.
Doğuş Otomotiv Servis ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Doğuş Otomotiv) is one of Türkiye's leading multi-brand automotive distributors, representing 16 international brands and 17 product groups, including passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, heavy trucks, industrial and marine engines, and cooling systems.
As of 2024, Doğuş Otomotiv operates with over 720 customer service points across Türkiye, more than 2,000 employees, and a customer base exceeding 10 million. With its dynamic service approach centered on customer satisfaction, the Company has long maintained a pioneering position in the sector. Its organizational structure has been designed with a broad value chain perspective, ranging from distributorship to used car services, financial solutions, mobility systems, and digital technologies.
Doğuş Otomotiv holds an indefinite distributorship agreement with Volkswagen AG and represents in Türkiye several prestigious brands, including Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, SEAT, CUPRA, Škoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Scania, Meiller, Thermo King, Wielton, Novamarine, Aerofoils, and MATE.Bike. Additionally, through its DOD brand, the Company has been active in the used car market for more than 20 years.
By the end of 2024, the Company managed a total vehicle park of 2.47 million units, with 1.08 million annual service entries to authorized workshops, and a total customer base at the level 10.3 million.
Listed on Borsa İstanbul since 2004 under the ticker "DOAS," the Company's free float ratio stands at 39.5%. In 2024, its Corporate Governance Rating increased to 9.79, and Doğuş Otomotiv continued its inclusion in the BIST Sustainability Index.
Since its establishment, Doğuş Otomotiv has shaped its growth in alignment with sustainability principles. The Company published Türkiye's first automotive sustainability report in 2009, became a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact in 2010, began publishing Integrated Sustainability Reports in 2021, and in 2024 issued its first TSRS-compliant report.
Continuing its transition from a traditional distributorship model to a mobility service provider, Doğuş Otomotiv focuses on digital transformation, customer experience, mobility services, and environmentally friendly technologies. In line with this strategy, by 2024, 119 digital transformation projects had been completed, and new systems based on artificial intelligence, RPA, IoT, and data analytics were deployed.
Doğuş Otomotiv's organizational structure is designed not only around legal control relationships but also with a focus on strategic alignment, operational integrity, and sustainability impact, forming a framework in which business units function in an integrated manner. The Company manages financial reporting and sustainability reporting together, in a holistic way, across its subsidiaries, affiliates, and business units that are engaged throughout the automotive value chain.
In line with Paragraphs 20 and 21 of TSRS 1, the disclosures in this report also take into account the structural elements of Doğuş Otomotiv that have significant influence on its business model, value chain, and the management of sustainability-related risks and opportunities.
The organizational structure of the Company is built on three main pillars:
The Board of Directors and the Executive Committee hold representational authority across all subsidiaries and affiliates directly linked to the Company's business model. The dual role of the Executive Committee Chair also serving as Chair of the Board enables a management approach that facilitates operational agility without being constrained by vertical hierarchies.
A significant portion of subsidiaries and affiliates operate in horizontal integration with business units directly managed by Doğuş Otomotiv, leveraging shared processes and systems in areas such as digital infrastructure, customer services, data management, sustainability, and logistics. Although these entities are legally distinct, this structure enables sustainability strategies to be managed in an integrated and holistic manner.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and Executive Committee members monitor the sustainability performance of subsidiaries and associates in an integrated manner. The Risk Committee and the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee ensure the integration of strategy, risk, and performance based on information received from these enterprises. Accordingly, although legal entities are separate, they function within the corporate governance network as a single strategic structure.
Entities included in the reporting boundary in accordance with TSRS are detailed in the Introduction section of this report and therefore are not repeated here. The organizational structure of the Company has been defined not only on the basis of financial consolidation but also by considering entities that create material impact with respect to the management of sustainability risks.
Consistent with the definition of the "reporting entity" under Paragraphs 20 and 21 of TSRS 1, both entities under direct operational control and strategically significant associates have been included, taking into account their impact on sustainability risks and opportunities, as well as their alignment with the Value Chain Model, Corporate Governance framework, and strategic objectives.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
This approach is based on the necessity of managing sustainability risks not only individually but also at the Group level. It is implemented through the integration of the Sustainability Committee, the Early Risk Detection Committee, and relevant business units established within Doğuş Otomotiv. The sustainability impacts of all enterprises included in the reporting boundary have been documented by considering the materiality analysis and their functional contribution across the value chain, and are presented in tabular form in the Introduction section.
Doğuş Otomotiv's business model, comprising its core activities, support functions, and strategically contributing associates managed in an integrated manner across the entire value chain, is directly embedded into its sustainability strategy and has been publicly disclosed through Integrated Sustainability Reports since 2021. This structure, in alignment with the disclosure requirements set out in Paragraphs 28 and 29 of TSRS 1, explains how the business model operates, the resources it relies upon, the activities it carries out, and the way these activities are connected to the Company's sustainability strategy.
Doğuş Otomotiv operates under an integrated value chain management model. The Company's activities are structured across three layers, encompassing upstream supply, internal operational processes, and downstream distribution and sales channels. This model is designed not only to cover the Company's direct operations but also to include subsidiaries, affiliates, digital solutions, and service units. The value chain model, updated in 2024 and presented alongside the TSRS Report, clearly categorizes both core operational processes and supporting activities.
The Company's activities are addressed through a three-tiered value chain architecture:
1.Core Activities – Processes directly executed under Doğuş Otomotiv's primary business model. 2.Support Functions – Strategic, managerial, and technical functions that corporately support core activities. 3.Affiliates and Subsidiaries – Entities considered complementary to operations, providing operational, financial, or digital contributions.
Core Activities
This section defines the areas under Doğuş Otomotiv's direct control within the value chain:
Procurement of represented brands' vehicles from abroad and technical compliance procedures.
Storage, distribution, transport agreements, and shipment management.
Channel-based sales through Authorized Dealers and Service Centers, Doğuş Oto, and Yüce Auto, brand management, promotional campaigns, and customer segmentation.
Management of used vehicles under the DOD brand, auction platforms, and digital sales support tools.
Electric vehicle charging infrastructure, socket deployment, mobile applications, and digital access.
Support Functions
These functions describe the corporate infrastructure enabling core activities:
Human Resources and Training Digital HR systems, development programs, and agile management structure.
Procurement and Administrative Affairs Supplier management integrated with ESG criteria, operational support systems.
Financial Control and Investor Relations Consolidated reporting, corporate governance, risk management, financing models.
Legal and Internal Audit Legal processes, taxation, internal control, and audit systems.

APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
Prepared in accordance with Paragraph 29 of TSRS 1, this section demonstrates the linkage between Doğuş Otomotiv's operational areas and the Company's strategic objectives. Under the standard, sustainability disclosures must not only relate to operational activities but also clearly illustrate how these activities integrate with the Company's long-term strategy and support strategic priorities.
As defined in the 2023 Integrated Sustainability Report, Doğuş Otomotiv shapes its operations around the following six strategic priorities:
This strategic framework is embedded into the Company's business model, ensuring that both core activities and support functions are structured according to these priorities.
The table below illustrates how the core activities defined in Section 2.3 relate to the strategic priorities outlined above.
| Related Strategic Priorities | Description |
|---|---|
| 3, 5 | Operational efficiency and regulatory compliance, traceability |
| 1, 3 | Route optimization, carbon footprint monitoring, energy efficiency |
| 2, 4 | Customer-focused value propositions, sustainability of sales channels |

| 1, 4, 6 | ESG-compliant supply chain, dealer development, traceability |
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
This section, prepared in accordance with TSRS disclosure requirements, illustrates how Doğuş Otomotiv manages sustainability-related risks and opportunities and how oversight and decisionmaking processes are integrated within the Company's governance structure.
Standards require companies to disclose not only the link between sustainability matters and the business model or strategy but also how these matters are monitored at the Board and senior management levels, guided, and integrated into decision-making processes. This ensures sustainability information is presented with the same level of assurance as financial information, providing confidence that corporate governance effectively addresses risks and opportunities.
Doğuş Otomotiv considers sustainability not only as management of environmental and social impacts but also as a core component of its business model across strategic, operational, and governance dimensions. The structures, roles, policy frameworks, and assessment mechanisms presented here reflect how this approach is embedded in the management system.
The Board of Directors serves as the highest decision-making body for strategic guidance, oversight of risks and opportunities, target setting, and internal policy development in sustainability. In line with TSRS 1, Article 26, the Board fulfills its organizational oversight role to support the reliability of sustainability disclosures.
The dual role of the Chairman and CEO (Emir Ali Bilaloğlu) ensures that sustainability matters are fully integrated into decision-making processes. Reports on the activities and strategic outputs of the Sustainability Committee are presented to the Board at least twice annually. Key sustainability indicators, performance data, risk analyses, and strategic recommendations are reviewed and discussed within the Board agenda.
The Board manages the integration of sustainability into the corporate governance system through the following structures:
Provides oversight for the development of sustainability strategy, updating ESG policies, and ensuring transparency in reporting.
Responsible for monitoring risks with potential financial impacts related to sustainability, including climate-related risks.
Ensures that TSRS-related information is presented in connection with financial statements, monitors internal control mechanisms, and oversees the independent audit process.
All committee activities are reported consistently in the Corporate Governance Compliance Report published annually within the annual report. The Board evaluates the outcomes of these processes and provides the final assessments and necessary guidance.
At the Board level, sustainability performance is tracked and reported through more than 1,000 metrics, including carbon emissions calculations, energy consumption, environmental impact reduction targets, supply chain-related risks, human resources, diversity, and digital transformation projects. These data points enable the evaluation of alignment with the Company's integrated strategic objectives and serve as a basis for both annual budgeting processes and the updating of medium-term business plans.
In accordance with Paragraph 27 of TSRS 1, companies are required to disclose not only how sustainability matters are governed at the Board level but also how senior management implements, monitors, and integrates these matters into operations. Within this framework, Doğuş Otomotiv executes its sustainability strategy under the responsibility of senior management, coordinated centrally and implemented with the participation of all business units.
The Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as the Chairman of the Board, directly oversees the integration of sustainability into the Company's corporate strategy. The CEO actively supports both the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Council that coordinates sustainability activities. Furthermore, the CEO bears primary responsibility for monitoring sustainability performance, updating strategy, defining policies, and representing the Company before external stakeholders.
During 2023 and 2024, the responsibilities of senior management with respect to sustainability were structured under the following areas:
The Financial Control, Corporate Communications & Sustainability, and Investor Relations functions work in coordination on ESG compliance, TSRS reporting, and financial impact analysis.
Executive Vice Presidents and managers, as members of the Sustainability Council, integrate sustainability objectives directly into business plans across human resources, digital transformation, finance, and dealer development.
This team, working in close alignment with the Sustainability Committee, is responsible for TSRSrelated data collection, content management, preparation for audit processes, and assessment of annual performance.

It is accountable for the content of the Sustainability Report, the timely publication of the report with accurate data, and the integration of disclosed targets into business processes.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee ensures the consistent implementation of sustainability commitments across the Company through the following systems:
Integrated into the annual performance system, target cards allow each manager to monitor ESG outputs within their areas of responsibility. While sustainability objectives are not yet integrated into the performance system, relevant initiatives have been launched. Once completed, the remuneration of senior managers with sustainability-related responsibilities will be reviewed based on their sustainability performance.
All indicators within the scope of TSRS are recorded in the Company's data systems and monitored through internal control procedures.
In 2024, more than 300 managers and employees participated in sustainability-related training sessions, either online or in person.
Doğuş Otomotiv manages sustainability through a governance model that is overseen at the highest level, centrally coordinated, and integrated across all departments of the Company. This structure is supported by committees that enable the Board of Directors to exercise its oversight responsibilities, while implementation authority is delegated to senior management.
This Committee is responsible for developing the sustainability strategy, evaluating implementation results, and submitting all ESG obligations, including TSRS disclosures, to the Board. Reporting directly to the Board, the Committee convenes at least four times a year and plays an active role in reviewing sustainability policies, objectives, performance criteria, and TSRS reports. As of 2024, committee meetings also include the participation of executives from Corporate Communications and Sustainability, Strategy, Finance, Human Resources, and Digital Transformation departments. The Committee is chaired by one of the independent members of the Board.
The Committee's mandate covers the early identification of risks related to sustainability—including climate, operational, reputational, and regulatory risks—and their reporting to the Board. Climate risk assessments under TSRS 2 are also monitored by the Committee and integrated into annual risk reporting. The Committee ensures coordination with the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee through overlapping memberships, and joint meetings are convened when deemed necessary.
Through this structure, corporate sustainability management functions as a mechanism operated with contributions from all departments of the Company.
Reporting to the Executive Board Member, who acts as the General Manager of Corporate Governance, Sustainability, and Digital Transformation, the Corporate Communications and Sustainability Manager leads a team consisting of a assistant manager and a specialist. The team ensures coordination across departments and units for the achievement of sustainability objectives and reports directly to the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee.
According to Paragraph 27 of TSRS 1, sustainability disclosures must not only reference governance structures but also the corporate policies and internal application systems on which these structures are based. Within this context, Doğuş Otomotiv discloses the policies, procedures, and related documentation that demonstrate how risks and opportunities related to sustainability are managed and how compliance with these systems is ensured.
Doğuş Otomotiv implements its sustainability practices under a holistic structure titled 'Sustainability Policies'. These policies systematically define the Company's sustainability approach, priorities, and commitments, while serving as the key reference documents governing the impact of operational practices on ESG performance.
Doğuş Otomotiv's Sustainability Policies cover the following areas, supported by corresponding internal procedures:
Net zero targets, carbon footprint management, resource efficiency
Commitment to the UN Global Compact, employee rights, supply chain responsibility
Equal opportunities, representation diversity, gender balance
Code of Ethics, compliance processes, reporting mechanisms
Supplier evaluation and audit processes incorporating ESG criteria, sustainable sourcing practices
Risk monitoring within the scope of the Early Risk Detection Committee, internal audit, and policy synchronization
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee regularly reviews the Sustainability Policies and updates them as needed. Each year, sustainability targets are mapped against policy areas and integrated into the performance monitoring process. In addition:
The stakeholder groups prioritized within the Company's sustainability approach are classified as follows:
In defining stakeholder groups, Doğuş Otomotiv applied the AA1000SES global stakeholder engagement standard. The selection considered the influence and impact levels of the stakeholder group on the Company's operations, the effect of the Company's operations on the stakeholder group, the intensity of strategic relationships, legal obligations, and the frequency of data sharing.
The following tools and processes constitute the primary channels through which Doğuş Otomotiv engages with its stakeholders*:
– In 2024, surveys were conducted to capture stakeholders' views and recommendations.
– Multiple in-person and online forums address topics such as digitalization, environmental practices, and customer experience.
– ESG-compliant self-assessment forms, audits, and performance feedback mechanisms.
– Annual updates are provided on ESG indices, sustainability reports, and corporate disclosures in addition to investor meetings.
– Internal communication platforms, surveys, and sustainability awareness training sessions.
Community Engagement Programs – Collaboration initiatives with NGOs, local authorities, and public institutions.
In line with Paragraphs 26(c) and 27 of TSRS 1, an enterprise's sustainability disclosures must go beyond target statements to clearly explain how targets are tracked, how performance data is collected, how governance structures address these targets, and how processes are linked to policies and strategies.
Doğuş Otomotiv treats sustainability targets as an integral part of its corporate strategy and systematically monitors performance across the organization. Performance management is implemented at both corporate and business-unit levels, leveraging internal control mechanisms and data verification systems.
Sustainability targets are set collaboratively with business units during the annual planning cycle and allocated across managers' areas of responsibility. As of 2024, preparations began to integrate sustainability targets into the performance management system, with particular focus on carbon emissions, energy efficiency, and water consumption metrics.
To ensure the reliability of indicators disclosed under TSRS, the following monitoring systems are in place:
These processes rely on ERP systems and internal data flow mechanisms.
Performance data are regularly integrated into governance processes as follows:
The Strategy section of Doğuş Otomotiv's 2024 TSRS Report is prepared in compliance with Paragraphs 28 and 29 of TSRS 1. It explains the Company's sustainability strategy, its integration with the business model and risk/opportunity framework, strategic objectives, and the value-creation impact of these objectives. The sustainability strategy is directly linked to operations through governance structures, risk management, financial planning, and stakeholder engagement.
Doğuş Otomotiv's corporate strategy is based on a holistic framework that simultaneously manages the Company's corporate development objectives, social and environmental impacts, sectoral transformation dynamics, and position in the value chain. Detailed information is provided in the "Operations - Strategy Alignment Matrix" section on page 9 of the TSRS Report.
Doğuş Otomotiv's sustainability approach is summarized along three primary pillars:
This structure is fully integrated into the Company's management system and supported by committee frameworks, council models, and performance tracking mechanisms described in the governance sections.
In accordance with Paragraphs 29 and 31 of TSRS 1, the Company must explain how sustainability targets are integrated into corporate strategy and financial planning processes. As of 2023, Doğuş Otomotiv began establishing a framework to manage sustainability targets in alignment with financial planning systems, ensuring these targets are considered in resource allocation, investment planning, and performance evaluation through governance mechanisms.
A significant portion of the targets publicly disclosed in the 2023 Integrated Sustainability Report directly influences medium-term investment decisions, resource use planning, and operational budgets. The table below illustrates the connection between these targets and related financial processes:
| Strategic Focus Area | Related Risk/Opportunity | Tracked Metric/Target |
|---|---|---|
| Environmental | Emission and energy | Scope 1–2 emissions, total energy |

In line with Articles 14(a) and 14(a)(ii) of TSRS 2, Doğuş Otomotiv executes resource planning required to implement the sustainability strategy in alignment with long-term investment and financing policies. Financing for low-carbon technologies, renewable energy investments, energy efficiency projects, and sustainable logistics solutions is provided through a balanced combination of equity, long-term loans, and green financing instruments.
For the 2024–2026 period, the proportion of green financing instruments is planned to increase to support higher renewable energy usage, electric vehicle infrastructure development, and energy efficiency projects.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
As defined in Paragraphs 24 and 25 of TSRS 1, all disclosures within sustainability reporting must be grounded in clearly identified sustainability risks and opportunities that are relevant to the Company's operations, business model, and strategic priorities, selected in accordance with the materiality principle. In this context, Doğuş Otomotiv's TSRS reporting approach is structured around risks and opportunities whose financial impacts can reasonably be anticipated.
The Company's approach to identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities is conducted in line with TSRS expectations for financial materiality analysis.
Risk and opportunity definitions are assessed in terms of their operational impact and potential influence on the Company's long-term strategic objectives. This assessment is aligned with the sustainability strategy revised in 2023, which is fully integrated with the corporate strategy.
In addition to identifying climate-related risks and opportunities, Doğuş Otomotiv implements a systematic materiality assessment process to understand their strategic and financial impacts. As part of this process, consultations were conducted with key stakeholders across the value chain—primarily major suppliers (OEMs)—and qualitative analyses were performed jointly by the financial reporting and sustainability teams. Each risk and opportunity was initially evaluated based on probability and impact criteria, followed by a financial impact assessment for those items deemed significant in the qualitative analysis. In this second stage, potential impacts of the relevant risks on the Company were analyzed using quantitative methods, leading to final materiality decisions.
For this reporting period, the materiality threshold was set at 5% of profit before tax (PBT) as of December 31, 2024. This threshold serves as the primary criterion to determine whether climate-related risks and opportunities are considered financially 'significant'. This approach ensures, in compliance with TSRS standards, that impacts likely to influence decision-making by financial users are adequately identified.
In identifying risks and opportunities, the Company considers not only its direct operations but also all relevant stakeholders, including subsidiaries and affiliates, OEMs, authorized dealers and service centers, suppliers, and customer interactions.
Sustainability risk and opportunity definitions are prepared in alignment with the Corporate Risk Management approach and the Early Risk Detection Committee. These definitions are based on:
Paragraph 25 of TSRS 1 requires that sustainability disclosures not only describe risks but also explain how the enterprise monitors, manages, and integrates them into the corporate strategy. In this regard, Doğuş Otomotiv evaluates sustainability risks not only in terms of ESG categories but also as an integral part of its corporate risk management system.
The Company's risk management approach, as defined in the 2023 Integrated Sustainability Report, is strategy-aligned, structured, and auditable. The same approach is detailed in the 2024 Annual Report under the "Corporate Risk Management" section.
The monitoring and management of risks are conducted through the following governance structures:
Responsible for monitoring, rating, and reporting sustainability-related risks to the Board of Directors. The Committee meets at least four times a year, updating risk maps and evaluating alignment with strategic priorities.
Oversees the relationship between identified risks and the sustainability strategy. Ensures integration of risk management policies with sustainability policies.
Monitors compliance of established risk responses with procedures and ensures alignment with internal control mechanisms.
Sustainability risks at Doğuş Otomotiv are tracked using structured tools at both strategic and operational levels:
As of 2024, TSRS-related risks have been fully reclassified and integrated with the corporate risk management system and existing business model. Specifically:
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
In accordance with Paragraphs 24 and 25 of TSRS 1, sustainability disclosures must include material sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities that relate to the Company's operations, business model, and strategic priorities and that could reasonably affect future cash flows, cost of capital, or access to finance. To meet this requirement, in 2023 Doğuş Otomotiv restructured its risks and opportunities based on both financial materiality analysis and the corporate risk management system.
The risks and opportunities identified in the Doğuş Otomotiv TSRS Report are not limited to direct operational areas. They encompass all actors across the value chain that may be affected at different levels, including subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, authorized dealers and service centers, and business partners such as OEMs. Each item is presented within the TSRS 1 and TSRS 2 framework, including financial impact horizon, estimated impact magnitude, materiality, and management approach.
Doğuş Otomotiv conducts all operations in Türkiye, aligning its climate strategy with national policies and regulations. Türkiye's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, the 2053 Net Zero Emissions target, the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan, and the Green Deal Action Plan serve as fundamental references for the Company's long-term decarbonization strategy. These policy frameworks are taken into account in setting investment priorities, planning energy efficiency projects, and aligning supply chain management with climate objectives.

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
The automotive sector is directly influenced by macro-economic developments related to climate change at global and local levels. Fluctuations in global energy prices, raw material and battery costs, changes in exchange rates, logistics costs affecting supply chain continuity, rapid technological transformation in electric vehicles, and the proliferation of infrastructure investments are decisive factors shaping the sector's cost structure and pricing strategies. In Türkiye specifically, green transition targets, tax policies, energy security, and plans for transitioning to a low-carbon economy play a critical role in medium- and long-term investment decisions.
In accordance with TSRS 1, Article 25(g), companies are expected not to limit sustainability disclosures to qualitative statements but to present the potential impact of identified risks and opportunities on future cash flows, cost of capital, or access to finance, either quantitatively or through justified qualitative reasoning. TSRS 2 further guides companies to provide numerical representations, particularly regarding climate-related transition and physical risks.
As of 2023, based on updated financial priority assessments and TSRS-aligned risk classifications, Doğuş Otomotiv has initiated analyses to estimate the financial impacts of each identified risk and opportunity. These evaluations rely on the Company's internal data, department-level forecasts, and, where necessary, sectoral scenario references.
Financial impact assessments are structured around the following parameters:
Disclosures are prepared in alignment with TSRS 1 and TSRS 2 and focus exclusively on risks/opportunities mapped in the Company's current declarations. All estimates are accompanied by explanatory notes detailing modeling assumptions based on internal data, independent projections, and sectoral scenario sets. These disclosures are specifically structured for the first TSRS reporting period, considering the current availability of data and analytical capacity. The Company's financial impact modeling continues to be developed systematically.
Under TSRS 2, companies are expected to evaluate and disclose the impact of climate change on their operations, business model, strategic priorities, and financial condition. Accordingly, Doğuş Otomotiv's approach to climate-related risks and opportunities is aligned with its strategy, organizational structure, and risk management processes.
The Company evaluates climate-related risks and opportunities in terms of their potential financial impact over short-term (0–2 years), medium-term (2-5 years), and long-term (>5 years) horizons. These time horizons are aligned with operational dynamics, including strategic planning cycles, investment payback periods, and supply chain adaptation capacities. Time horizons for the impacts stemming from sectoral regulations and expected timing of physical climate changes also inform this classification.
Both physical risks (e.g., direct impacts of extreme weather events, temperature increases) and systematic transition risks (e.g., regulatory changes, technological transformation, market expectations) have been analyzed.
Climate-related opportunities are assessed in areas such as low-carbon solutions, advancements in electric vehicle technologies, and circular economy applications, forming strategic levers to support the Company's value creation potential.
Disclosures are expected not only to reflect current conditions but also to consistently present scenarios, transition plans, and management responses applied in decision-making. TSRS 2 requires classifying climate risks into physical and transition categories and evaluating opportunity areas corresponding to these two groups. Such disclosures are strategically important for the sustainability of Doğuş Otomotiv's operations.
Doğuş Otomotiv defines physical risks, in accordance with TSRS 2, as those arising from direct impacts of changes in the climate system affecting operations, supply processes, workforce productivity, or infrastructure conditions. These risks may result from short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) changes in climate conditions.
The definition of physical risks was updated based on the 2023 Integrated Sustainability Report's risk management approach, TSRS consolidation methodology in 2024, and completed financial materiality analyses. Evaluations consider not only operational impacts but also potential vulnerabilities across the value chain, alignment with strategic priorities, and magnitude of the financial impact.
As part of the preliminary assessment of physical climate risks, geographic risk classifications for operational sites were analyzed using ThinkHazard, a global risk analysis platform by the World Bank GFDRR, based on historical disaster data and scientific models. These classifications provide local-level (ADM2 – district) risk intensities and prioritize further scenario-based physical risk modeling.
ThinkHazard does not provide scenario-based climate projections; therefore, the Company conducted comprehensive physical risk assessments using IPCC's Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios.
Doğuş Otomotiv has conducted scenario analyses to assess the short-, medium-, and long-term impacts of climate change on its operations, strengthen strategic resilience, and make its sustainable growth strategies climate-resilient. In these analyses, RCP scenarios were adopted, as they are among the most widely used methods internationally for evaluating physical risks. Projections were developed based on parameters such as temperature, precipitation, water stress, and extreme weather events. RCP scenarios were preferred for analyzing physical risks across the automotive value chain due to their high-resolution and scientifically robust projections for regional temperature and precipitation changes, extreme weather events, and water stress.
Scenario analyses were conducted over short-term (0–2 years), medium-term (2–5 years), and longterm (>5 years) horizons in line with TSRS standards. Based on these analyses, priority areas were identified for managing climate-related financial impacts within the Company's sustainability strategy.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
This scenario envisions a future in which robust global climate policies are implemented, carbon emissions decline rapidly from the 2020s onward, and net-zero targets are achieved before 2070. By 2100, the temperature increase is limited to approximately 1.6°C, creating a low-risk environment in which climate change is effectively controlled.
Under the RCP 2.6 scenario, global emission trading systems, carbon taxes, green transport infrastructure, and zero-emission vehicle incentives become widespread, while financial markets reward low-carbon strategies with higher valuations.
For Doğuş Otomotiv, this scenario presents significant opportunities in areas such as electric and hybrid vehicle investments, digital mobility solutions, and green finance instruments. Despite the presence of transition risks, the predictability of the transformation and governance support under this scenario allow for early compliance with environmental regulations, potentially creating a competitive advantage in the market. Furthermore, the low physical risk environment helps ensure continuity in production processes and the security of infrastructure.
This scenario envisions a future in which global policies to limit climate change fail, and greenhouse gas emissions increase rapidly. By 2100, average temperatures could rise by more than 4.3°C, causing climate-related physical risks—such as floods, droughts, heatwaves, and infrastructure damage—to reach critical levels. Regional production sites and supply chains would be severely affected.
For Doğuş Otomotiv, extreme weather events and infrastructure deformations due to excessive heat pose significant threats to production facilities and logistics networks. To ensure supply chain continuity, investments in climate-resilient infrastructure and alternative logistics planning are critical. Insights from scenario analyses enable the Company to develop financial and operational strategies that are resilient to climate risks. Key risks and their estimated financial impacts, as assessed under relevant scenarios, are detailed within the report.
| Physical Risk | Description | Financial Impact Horizon |
Estimated Financial Impact | Management Approach | Upstream / Own Operations / Downstream |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extreme Climate Events |
Disruption to logistics and operations caused by floods, storms, etc. Relevant Financial Items: Sales Revenue, Cost of Sales, Inventories, Insurance Expenses |
Medium – Long | In the event that this risk materializes, the main impacts could include inventory impairment, higher insurance expenses, and increased logistics costs. In addition, there is a potential long-term risk of reduced sales revenue; however, based on current assessments, the financial impact of this risk remains below the materiality threshold. Therefore, while it does not fall under the definition of a "material risk" that must be disclosed under TSRS reporting, its potential impacts are monitored and followed within the Company's corporate risk management processes. |
Within the scope of Extreme Weather Risk, the locations of the manufacturing facilities of the producer companies from which imports are made, as well as port operations, have been reviewed. Floods, inundations, and fire hazards were identified as the most significant threats. All risks covering the entire import, inventory, sales, and transportation processes—from import operations to sales—as well as all Company facilities, existing stockyards, and goods in transit (domestic and international), are comprehensively insured. Existing stockyards are being reinforced through protective and preventive investments against extreme weather events. Additionally, the resilience of the producers' manufacturing facilities to these risks has been evaluated, and no significant impact is expected. |
Upstream / Own Operations / Downstream |
As of 2024, the Company has defined data flows and management responses to monitor this risk and integrate it into financial planning, incorporating these elements into the annual risk assessment system.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
Under TSRS 2, Article 5 and Annex B, transition risks refer to regulatory, technological, market, and reputational changes arising from the shift to a low-carbon economy and their potential impacts on the company. TSRS 2 requires these risks to be evaluated in terms of strategic planning, product development, financial performance, workforce, and customer relations.
These risks may affect operational processes, investment plans, customer behavior, and the entire value chain.

| Regulatory Changes |
Cost-increasing impacts of carbon pricing, emission limits, and product regulations. Relevant Financial Items: Sales Revenue, Cost of Sales, R&D Expenses, CapEx |
Short – Medium – Long | Within the scope of regulatory changes, carbon pricing, emission limits, and product regulations may increase costs, primarily by imposing an additional burden on the cost of sales. Furthermore, while an increase in R&D expenses and capital investments is anticipated for compliance with new regulations, current assessments indicate that the associated risk remains below the materiality threshold in terms of financial impact. Therefore, although this risk does not qualify as a 'material risk' requiring disclosure under TSRS reporting, its potential effects are being monitored and tracked within the organization's corporate risk management processes. |
Doğuş Otomotiv positions sustainability principles and objectives as a core element of its supply chain management, addressing the environmental and social impacts across the upstream value chain through a holistic approach. Accordingly, supplier relationships are evaluated not only in terms of operational efficiency, but also within the frameworks of environmental responsibility, human rights, and ethical sourcing principles. Industry developments and regulatory changes are monitored on an ongoing basis, with adaptation processes and compliance mechanisms managed dynamically. In this way, potential transition risks in the context of sustainability are identified at an early stage, and solutions aligned with the Company's business model and operational strategies are developed. Since 2014, systematic practices have been implemented to measure, evaluate, and continuously improve the sustainability performance of the supplier ecosystem. Within this framework, issues such as suppliers' environmental impacts, occupational health and safety practices, and compliance with ethical conduct principles are monitored, with improvement plans established based on risk levels. This approach not only strengthens the resilience of the supply chain but also meets TSRS expectations regarding the monitoring of material risks across the value chain and the implementation of preventive actions. Developments in vehicle safety, emission standards, and other product related technical regulations are closely followed through OEM partnerships and implemented with integrated solutions across the Group. This process ensures full compliance with legal obligations and the consistent delivery of sustainable product and service quality aligned with customer expectations. In line with the European Union Battery Regulation, particularly regarding environmental responsibilities for electric vehicles and battery management, recycling and reuse processes are being effectively designed and implemented. The systems developed within this framework ensure compliance while also contributing to the strengthening of environmental sustainability. |

This approach enhances customer satisfaction while also supporting the broader transition toward sustainable mobility. |
Own Operations / Downstream |
The physical and transition-related impacts of climate change are carefully assessed across Doğuş Otomotiv's business model and value chain. Physical risks such as extreme weather events have the potential to disrupt operational flows from procurement to sales, particularly in import operations and logistics processes. Events such as floods, storms, and heavy rainfall affecting ports, production facilities, or stockyards may directly cause operational delays and cost increases across the value chain; to mitigate these, relevant processes are safeguarded through protective investments and comprehensive insurance mechanisms.
Transition risks, including carbon regulations, battery legislation, and product standards, create transformation pressures particularly in the upstream supply chain, directly impacting supplier relations, product development cycles, and customer solutions. By identifying these changes at an early stage, the Company prioritizes partnerships with suppliers demonstrating strong sustainability performance, while ensuring environmental and social compliance throughout the value chain.
Doğuş Otomotiv considers climate-related risks not only as operational threats but also as fundamental drivers shaping its strategic direction. The growing unpredictability of physical risks requires the Company to develop more resilient infrastructures across areas ranging from facility planning to inventory management. This necessitates the consideration of environmental stress factors in investment decisions and the reprioritization of financial resources accordingly.
Transition risks, on the other hand, directly influence product strategies and compliance processes; in particular, the transition to electric vehicles, access to green financing, and carbon emissions management require strategic adaptation. Continuous monitoring of regulatory developments and sector dynamics enables flexible and adaptive decision-making structures, allowing strategic choices — from supplier selection to customer solutions — to be restructured through a climate perspective.
RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
Doğuş Otomotiv's resilience to climate change is continuously strengthened through both infrastructure investments and organizational processes. Measures such as the physical reinforcement of facilities and stockyards against extreme weather events, re-planning of import processes based on geographic risk factors, and comprehensive insurance mechanisms increase the Company's capacity to maintain operational continuity against physical risks.
In terms of transition risks, the Company has established a dynamic structure that enables rapid adaptation to regulatory changes. Sustainability-oriented supplier assessment systems, in place since 2014, enhance the flexibility of the supply chain while mitigating the impacts of regulatory risks. Investments in electric vehicle charging infrastructure and customer experience-driven decision-making further reflect the Company's capacity to adapt to technological transformation and integrate quickly into emerging markets.
In line with TSRS 2, Article 5 and Annex B, companies are required to report not only on climate-related risks but also on opportunities arising from the transition. Climate-related opportunities represent factors that enhance the Company's value-creation capacity in the transition to a low-carbon economy through new markets, technologies, products, cost advantages, and investment opportunities.

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES METRICS AND TARGETS
APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
The process of assessing the financial impact of climate-related risks and opportunities may involve uncertainties due to limited datasets, assumptions about future developments, and variability in external factors. Nonetheless, based on current information, financial impacts have been evaluated and determined to fall below materiality thresholds. Qualitative assessment of these risks and opportunities recognizes their strategic importance, leading to disclosure within reporting frameworks and ongoing monitoring through the Company's corporate risk management processes.
Operational disruptions caused by extreme weather events, such as storms or hail, as well as potential cost impacts from carbon pricing or battery regulations, appear limited in quantitative terms but are included within strategic monitoring.
Similarly, several technical and structural uncertainties exist regarding the pace of electric vehicle infrastructure development, access to green financing, or the long-term operational efficiency of renewable energy investments. Efforts are ongoing to strengthen quantitative analyses as data availability evolves.
Doğuş Otomotiv operates under a principle of prudence in the face of such uncertainties, continuing to monitor associated risks and opportunities through internal control mechanisms and sustainability management processes. Sectoral developments, regulatory changes, and market conditions are closely observed to enable timely updates to assessments where necessary.
TSRS 2 stipulates that, in order to assess companies' climate-related strategic decisions, it is necessary not only to disclose current risks and opportunities, but also to test these elements under alternative scenarios and outline a roadmap for transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Scenario analyses are therefore fundamental tools for demonstrating the Company's resilience to climate change and the alignment of its planning measures (TSRS 2, Article 6 and Annex C).
As of 2024, Doğuş Otomotiv has initiated its first transition planning assessment in line with TSRS 2 compliance. Scenario-based assumptions addressing external variables beyond the Company's direct control have been applied, analyzing factors such as carbon pricing, regulatory pressures, infrastructure adequacy, and product portfolio compliance.
The Company has not yet published a formal transition plan documentation. Work continues with relevant business units to identify priority action areas; however, quantitative targets and timelines for these areas are still under development.
Key areas of focus include:
By 2025, the Company aims to link its transition planning to measurable decarbonization targets and establish an integrated monitoring mechanism in accordance with TSRS 2.
Under TSRS Standards, sustainability disclosures must transparently specify not only strategic objectives, risks, and governance structures but also the metrics used to support these disclosures, how the metrics are generated, who monitors them, and how they are integrated into financial and operational systems. Article 31 of TSRS 1 mandates that disclosed metrics be tracked in connection with the company's business model, strategy, and objectives.
Doğuş Otomotiv develops sustainability metrics both to monitor performance in sustainability and climate-focused areas and to support strategic decision-making, investment prioritization, and the structuring of transition plans. The metrics presented in this section are based on publicly disclosed indicators from the Company's existing reporting system and define the first data monitoring areas structured according to TSRS as of 2024.
Doğuş Otomotiv uses TSRS 1 sustainability metrics to monitor performance in sustainability and climate areas and to strengthen decision-support infrastructure across corporate processes such as risk assessment, strategic planning, and transition management.
Indicators included in this report have been selected based on past reporting metrics, strategic priorities established in 2023, and reporting obligations under TSRS 1-2 standards. These indicators cover measurable outputs related to operational performance, climate strategy, resource efficiency, supply chain sustainability, and social impact management.
Reported metrics are structured to align with current data reporting capacity and control frameworks. A significant portion of these indicators is integrated into the annual monitoring system and regularly tracked by responsible business units. Corporate performance management systems are being developed to ensure these indicators are measurable, assessable, and reportable, with plans to expand both the scope and granularity of indicators in future reporting periods.
Doğuş Otomotiv monitors sustainability management through environmental, social, and governance performance indicators, as well as through core operational outputs. Metrics expected under TSRS 1 include fundamental operational outputs directly linked to the Company's business model. Therefore, indicators such as sales volume, customer reach, and service coverage are used as primary monitoring tools for evaluating strategic objectives.
The indicators presented below are sourced from the 2024 Annual Report and are based solely on publicly disclosed data.
| Indicator | Description | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Retail Sales Volume | Number of new vehicles sold across Türkiye during the year |
186,889 |
| Wholesale Sales Volume | Sales through authorized dealers + direct channels |
189,094 |
| Customer Service Points | Total active authorized dealer and service locations across Türkiye |
720+ |
| Vehicles Serviced | Number of vehicles serviced under after-sales service |
1,087,000 |
| Total Customers | Individual + corporate customers with purchase or service history |
10.3 million |
| Total Service Capacity | Annual number of customer transactions, including sales and service |
15 million+ transactions |
These indicators were selected to reflect the Company's operational capacity, customer engagement intensity, sustainability of service coverage, and overall access performance across the value chain. Detailed reporting of business model and operational metrics is provided each year within the scope of the Company's Integrated Sustainability Report.
Doğuş Otomotiv evaluates its sustainability strategy in conjunction with its nationwide distribution network and customer service infrastructure. The dealer and service network is positioned not only as the physical infrastructure supporting commercial operations but also as a direct touchpoint for sustainability areas, including customer experience, social impact, and energy efficiency transformation.

Under TSRS, companies are expected not only to disclose climate-related risks and opportunities but also to transparently and consistently present the metrics underlying these disclosures. TSRS 2, Articles 21–29, specifically requires tracking indicators such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water usage, and the proportion of renewable energy, taking into account organizational boundaries, calculation methodologies, and comparative periods.
Doğuş Otomotiv has begun monitoring climate indicators across its own operations and subsidiaries. As this is the first year of reporting, efforts have focused on establishing a data system. The indicators presented here include data recorded or monitored as of 2024. All indicators are structured in compliance with TSRS 2 and are presented on a gross data basis.
-Scope 1 and Scope 2 Emissions -Energy Consumption and Efficiency
-SPP Investments and Renewable Energy Usage
This framework is designed to measure, monitor, and allow future comparative evaluation of the Company's climate performance. Additionally, targets and tracking metrics defined for climate-related risk and opportunity management have been integrated into the monitoring processes.
Below is a summary of performance indicators and relevant targets for strategically significant risk and opportunity areas:
| Risk / Opportunity | Relevant Target | Metric | Unit | Base Year | Target Year | Current Value | Progress (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk-2 Regulatory Changes |
20% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions |
Scope 1 + Scope 2 Emissions |
tCO₂e | 2024 | 2030 | 12,879 | * |
| Opportunity-2 Renewable Energy Usage |
Increase electricity from SPPs to 100% |
Electricity Supplied by SPP |
% | 2022 | 2030 | '77.05 | '19.14 |
Doğuş Otomotiv's net-zero 2053 target and emissions reduction strategy are primarily based on operational efficiency, renewable energy utilization, and development of low-emission products/services. In the 2024 reporting period, no carbon credits were used to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets. Should carbon credit usage be applied in future periods to offset remaining emissions, contributions to specific targets and the proportion of total reductions will be transparently reported.
No carbon credits were used in 2024 to offset greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon pricing has not yet been included in strategic scenario analyses, though methodology development for this purpose has begun. Future use will clearly report whether offsets are nature-based solutions (e.g., afforestation, ecosystem restoration) or technological carbon removal methods (e.g., direct air capture, mineralization), and whether reductions are achieved through mitigation or removal.
Under TSRS 2, Article 23, companies are required to disclose energy consumption in an open, comparable, and gross value format. TSRS also requires energy consumption to be disaggregated by quantity and source type, evaluated alongside efficiency criteria.
Doğuş Otomotiv treats energy management as an integral part of its climate strategy. Beyond its direct operations, the Company monitors energy consumption of authorized dealers, subsidiaries, and affiliates. Energy efficiency initiatives aim to reduce both operational costs and carbon emissions.
| Company and Subsidiaries | 2024 (tCO2e) |
|---|---|
| Scope 1 | 5,570 |
| Scope 2 | 7,309 |
| Total | 12,879 |
| Company | Scope 1 Emissions | Scope 2 Emissions | Total Gross Emissions (tCO₂e) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doğuş Otomotiv | 2,092.9 | 1,572.7 | 3,665.6 |
| Doğuş Oto | 3,434.6 | 5,592.1 | 9,026.7 |
| Doğuş GYO | '36.4 | '32.8 | '69.2 |
| D-Charge | - | '90.2 | '90.2 |
| D-Marine | '6.2 | '20.9 | '27.2 |
Scope 2 GHG emissions are calculated using a location-based approach with the Türkiye national grid emission factor (TEİAŞ). This approach converts electricity consumption (kWh) at operational locations into gross emission values.
The Company also plans to increase renewable electricity usage via internationally recognized certificate programs such as I-REC. When such contractual instruments are implemented, marketbased Scope 2 emissions will also be reported alongside location-based values. For 2024, no emissions reductions were obtained through contractual instruments.
Doğuş Otomotiv's climate strategy and targets are aligned with Türkiye's commitments under the Paris Agreement and its Updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Türkiye has committed to a 41% reduction in emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2053. These national commitments serve as key reference points in setting the Company's long-term net-zero target and interim objectives. Priority action areas, including increased renewable energy usage, energy efficiency projects, and promotion of low-emission mobility solutions, are planned in alignment with the Paris Agreement goals.
| Scope | Electricity Consumption (MWh) |
Natural Gas Consumption (MWh) |
Other Fuel Consumption (MWh) (Petrol + Diesel) |
Total Energy Consumption (MWh) – Consolidated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company and Subsidiaries |
19,391 | 14,417 | 9,412 | 43,220 |
Article 24 of TSRS 2 requires companies to disclose not only total energy consumption but also the proportion of energy derived from renewable sources, while evaluating the alignment of this ratio with strategic targets. In this context, Doğuş Otomotiv reduces carbon emissions through renewable energy investments and considers these investments as part of its strategy to decrease energy costs and enhance resilience against fluctuations in energy markets.
Aligned with interim targets and milestones, the SPP investment at the Şekerpınar Logistics Center in 2022 enabled a significant portion of the electricity demand to be met through solar energy. By 2023, 70% of electricity consumption was sourced from this renewable supply, rising to 77.05% by 2024.
The 2030 target is set at 100%. The Şekerpınar SPP produced 4,337,000 kWh in 2024. Performance indicators are being developed for other interim targets defined under the Company's net zero emission strategy.
For each indicator, the responsible business unit has been assigned, and data production/reporting processes are carried out in accordance with this responsibility allocation:
| Indicator | 2023 Value | 2024 Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electricity Sourced from SPPs | '70.71% | '77.05% | 2024 data finalized; target applicable for 2030 |
| Total Renewable Electricity Production (kWh) |
4,191,920 | 4,337,000 | Production volume of Şekerpınar SPP |
| Number of Renewable Energy Projects |
12 | 4 | Includes dealers and service points |
| SPP Usage at Authorized Dealers and Service Centers |
15 locations | 8 locations | Publicly disclosed as of end 2023 |
These indicators are monitored not only to achieve energy savings but also to strengthen energy independence, reduce the carbon footprint, and accelerate renewable energy transition in alignment with the Company's net zero objectives.
According to Article 27 of TSRS 1, data sources, monitoring responsibilities, and control processes must be clearly defined to ensure traceability of disclosed indicators. This section explains how Doğuş Otomotiv designed TSRS-compliant data systems as of 2024 and how sustainability indicators are tracked.

APPENDICES GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
The process of identifying financially material sustainability-related risks and opportunities at Doğuş Otomotiv, as well as determining the key information to be reported, is based on forecasts and forward-looking information that reflect expectations regarding pre-tax profit, a key sectoral performance indicator, over the short, medium, and long term. These assessments may require estimates for values that cannot be measured directly. Operational boundaries and assumptions for emissions calculations are presented under Data Preparation, while metric-specific details are provided on pages 27-30 of this report.
The Company uses global climate scenarios (IPCC RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) to estimate the financial and physical impacts of sustainability-related risks and opportunities. These scenarios include uncertainties regarding how climate change may affect the frequency and intensity of climate events the Company may face, including transition risks and increases or decreases in greenhouse gas emissions. Such uncertainties arise from variability in climate projections, evolving weather patterns, and potential unexpected changes in natural and abnormal weather events.
The projections on pages 1 of this report, prepared in line with transition risks, reflect expected short-, medium-, and long-term changes in the Company's financial performance and are based on forecasts and forwardlooking information. Similarly, the projections on pages 16-17 address physical climate risks and their potential impact on the Company's financial performance, also incorporating expectations for the short, medium, and long term.
The measurement and reporting of verified data inevitably involve a degree of estimation. A revised statement of assurance may be considered if a change greater than 5% is observed at the Group level.
