Direct Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Strong	Turkcell provides a clear picture of its climate-policy engagement. It explicitly identifies the regulations it works on – the Regulation on Certification and Support of Renewable Energy Resources and the Regulation on Non-Licensed Electricity Production in the Electricity Market – and names the Turkish authorities it approaches, notably the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and the Energy Market Regulatory Authority. The company discloses how it influences these rules, describing direct meetings, submission of position papers, and collaboration with industry associations as well as suppliers and foundations, thereby setting out both direct and indirect channels of engagement. It also spells out what it wants these efforts to achieve: expanding incentives so that off-grid, self-consumption renewable projects qualify, allowing electricity customers to change suppliers through online platforms, and securing acceptance of fully digital contracts, each linked to reducing emissions or resource use. Together, these details demonstrate a strong level of transparency across the policies lobbied, the mechanisms used and the concrete outcomes sought.	3

Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Comment	Score
Limited	Turkcell outlines how it aligns its advocacy with its climate goals but does not disclose formal oversight or review mechanisms. It explains that "Being in line with our target of using 100% renewable energy, we follow various incentive mechanisms with public authorities" and that "we create an indirect communication and impact with institutions such as associations, foundations and industry unions" as part of its strategy, alongside engaging directly with policymakers by submitting "digital contract recommendations" to EMRA and assisting in drafting new regulations. However, the company does not disclose any specific individual or committee responsible for reviewing or approving these lobbying activities, nor does it describe a structured process for monitoring or managing alignment, and we found no evidence of board sign-off or recurring audits dedicated to its policy engagement.	1
