An important step was taken to strengthen cooperation between the Impact Investing Advisory Board (EYDK) and the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK).

During a courtesy visit by the EYDK Board Members to Dr Hasan ÖZÇELİK, the President of KGK, substantial advancements achieved by Türkiye in sustainability standards, mandatory sustainability reporting, and sustainability assurance contracts were deliberated, and opportunities for collaboration were explored.

As part of the visit following KGK’s endorsement of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Standards and their integration into Turkish legislation, a cooperation protocol was signed to increase awareness on impact measurement, management, and reporting at the national level and to promote the implementation of international standards in Türkiye.

The signed protocol aims to promote the adoption of national and international best practices and to elevate standards in impact measurement, management, and reporting at the national level.
