contribution to the sustainability of the world.
Borusan EnBW Enerji's plants generate clean
energy through renewables and thus replace
power plants running on fossil fuels that
cause significant amounts of greenhouse gas
emissions. Indeed, 783 thousand tons of CO2
emissions have been prevented in 2020. All
measures aimed at sustainable operations
are taken at the Company.
Borusan EnBW Enerji runs an Environmental

Innovative HR Strategy and Practices
by Borusan EnBW Enerji
Borusan EnBW Enerji's Human Resources
Department channeled its efforts towards
the fight against the coronavirus during
2020. In parallel with the confirmed cases
around the world, the Department initiated
communication plans as of January 2020
and geared up efforts to take measures
related to hygiene in March, when the first
positive COVID-19 case was confirmed in
Turkey.
Work was re-arranged across the
organization as per the COVID-19 conditions;
a crisis team was established with the
participation of all functions, and the
process was managed effectively thanks
to the measures taken and case algorithms
developed. Committee activities and surveys
with employee participation helped identify
physical and psychological needs specific
to this period. These needs were then
addressed through a series of measures
introduced collectively by HR, Administrative
Affairs, BEE Academy, HSE, and Corporate
Communications teams. Ergonomics Kits,
Hygiene Kits, and COVID-19 Get Well Soon
packages were delivered to employees
so as to protect their health and ensure
business continuity. Company-wide exchange
meetings were held regularly every week
whereby employees were updated on the
developments relating to the organization.
2020 was concluded with practices geared
towards business continuity. These include
Lunch Reminders and Wednesday Afternoon
Reminders with No Phone Calls or Meetings;
MS Teams Channels enabling employees
to socialize digitally; and the creation of
an Exchange Platform. Works on Hybrid
Working Model continued through close
monitoring of process management in line
with new developments.
Corporate dynamics were taken into account
in all HR processes when conducting
employee-manager communications and
introducing new practices in parallel with
the Group's HR strategy. Accountability
Workshops were held in February and March
to encourage people to own critical targets
so as to ensure effective performance
management and clearer action plans. The
Targets Council helped analyze corporate
dynamics for a top-down distribution of
targets; action plans were studied and
communicated across the company
transparently. Communication activities for a
renewed career management process were
performed.
Operational Power PlantsWaste resulting from operational processes
remained at minimum levels, whilst water and
energy consumption was low thanks to the
measures taken.
Measures taken include:
• Rainwater was collected and used for
irrigation.
• Plants requiring minimum water
consumption were selected for
landscaping.
• Water consumption at all sites was
monitored to locate leakage.
• Faucet aerators and sensors were used to
minimize excess water consumption.
• Waste was sorted and disposed of
according to environmental rules and
regulations.
• The Company also complies with
international financial institutions'
rules on biodiversity, waste, and water
management, as well as on the protection
of the natural and social environment all
of which are introduced at the start of the
investment period of any power plant.
Borusan EnBW Enerji HSE Practices in 2020
HSE targets were monitored across the
Company in a reactive and proactive manner
under the following headings:
• Reactive HSE Target - LTIF (Lost Time
Incident Frequency) < 1.53
• Reducing the LTIF score, which was 1.53
