Sustainability
Creating long-term value through innovation, responsibility, and efficiency
At Metal Yapı, we are committed to making a lasting, positive impact—not only through the quality of our façade solutions but also in how we operate, support our communities, and protect the environment. We see sustainability as an integrated part of our strategy, with initiatives spanning ethics, energy efficiency, education, and logistics.
Upholding Ethical Principles
In 2022, we introduced and implemented our Code of Ethics, which defines the principles that guide our decisions and actions. This framework helps us ensure transparency, integrity, and fairness in all our business relationships and internal practices.
Supporting Education and the Next Generation
We believe in empowering the future by supporting young minds. Over the years, we have provided financial and technical support to various student groups and university initiatives, helping them develop both academically and personally.
Driving Innovation for Environmental Benefit
Our patented Trickle Vent system, developed through our in-house R&D efforts, significantly enhances energy efficiency in buildings. This innovation reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 697,000 kg annually, contributing to the fight against climate change.
Reducing Energy Use in Production
In 2023, we completed a LED lighting conversion project across our manufacturing facilities. This transition enabled us to reduce energy consumption for lighting by 50%, reflecting our ongoing commitment to more sustainable production processes.
Greener Logistics Through Intermodal Transportation
We partner with logistics providers who utilize intermodal transport systems, which allow us to significantly reduce transportation-related emissions. By choosing lower-emission methods of freight movement, we lessen our carbon footprint while maintaining operational efficiency.
Digital Transformation Through the DNS4.0 Management System
Reducing paper, increasing efficiency As part of our digital transformation journey, Metal Yapı has implemented the DNS4.0 web-based management system, fully integrated with our SAP infrastructure. This system has become a central platform for managing workflows across multiple departments, significantly increasing operational transparency and efficiency. By digitizing a wide range of processes and reports, DNS4.0 helps us reduce paper consumption significantly across the company. Reports that once needed to be printed are now accessed digitally by relevant teams, which not only saves resources but also improves accessibility and data-driven decision-making. Moreover, we have equipped our manufacturing facilities with tablets, allowing production teams to access technical drawings and documents digitally—eliminating the need for printed versions. This transition not only supports our sustainability goals but also ensures that our teams always work with the most up-to-date information, improving accuracy and responsiveness on the shop floor. The DNS4.0 system is more than just a software tool—it is a key enabler of our commitment to smart, sustainable, and future-oriented manufacturing.
Smart Manufacturing Through Digital Optimization
Metal Yapı has developed 1D, 2D, and 3D optimization software tools to improve production and logistics efficiency. These tools help us minimize material waste during manufacturing and enable maximum efficiency in trailer and container loading, reducing environmental impact and enhancing resource utilization.
Transparent Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Commitment to international environmental standards
At Metal Yapı, we believe that sustainability starts with accountability. That’s why we
conduct a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions assessment in accordance with ISO
14064 standards every two years.
We have successfully completed our GHG reporting for the years 2021 and 2023,
establishing a transparent baseline for monitoring and managing our environmental
impact. These reports help us identify key areas for improvement, set measurable
targets, and ensure that our operations align with global climate goals.
By adhering to internationally recognized standards, we reaffirm our commitment to
environmental responsibility, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
