Investigation of companies operating in the Thrace Region and included in the BIST sustainability index

In this study, sustainability, circular economy, and the development of the doughnut economy are included. In this context, the sustainability reports of companies included in the BIST Sustainability Index and operating in the Thrace Region were examined. Social and environmental performance indicator findings in the reports are included under two separate headings. While the social performance indicators include the number of female and male employees, occupational health and safety training, and other training, the environmental performance indicators include the findings of greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and water consumption. The research goal is to understand how social and environmental performance indicators can be related to the principles of sustainability and circular economy.
