As MLP Care, we position sustainability at the foundation of our entire way of doing business and integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into every stage of our activities. Beyond providing healthcare services, we consider fulfilling our responsibilities towards society, the environment, and all our stakeholders as a strategic priority.
We Develop Leading Practices in the SectorWe take a pioneering role in sustainability within the healthcare sector; implementing innovative practices in areas such as energy efficiency, waste management, carbon reduction initiatives, and sustainable healthcare service models. Our strategy is designed in alignment with the company’s overall business objectives, with ESG criteria directly integrated into our decision-making processes. At the same time, we regularly monitor our performance and proactively manage all sustainability risks, particularly those related to climate change.
We Progress with Short-, Medium- and Long-Term GoalsThe foundation of our sustainability strategy consists of short-, medium- and long-term goals. In the short term, we focus on increasing energy and resource efficiency, optimizing water usage, strengthening our employees’ sustainability awareness, and improving our operations in line with environmental sensitivity. In the long term, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint, minimize our environmental impacts, expand circular economy practices, and standardize sustainable healthcare services across all our facilities. These goals are regularly renewed in line with performance data and supported by a continuous improvement approach.
We Embrace a Sustainability Vision that Adds Value to the FutureWith this holistic approach, we act with a sustainability vision that considers not only today’s needs but also the needs of the future. While fulfilling our responsibilities towards the environment, society and our stakeholders with determination, we continue to strengthen our goal of being an exemplary and pioneering institution in sustainability practices within the healthcare sector.
By prioritizing our contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we adopt a responsible approach across environmental, social, and governance areas. While producing ethical, innovative, and environmentally conscious solutions in line with good governance principles, we also aim to enhance community welfare and happiness. Through projects focused on technological advancement and sustainability, we continue to play our part in creating a healthier and more balanced future. By integrating the SDGs into all our business processes, we not only contribute to global goals but also create long-term value for our stakeholders.
As MLP Care, with the approach of “Excellence in Healthcare, Sustainability in the Future,” we embrace a holistic sustainability vision that actively contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We shape all our activities in line with sustainability principles to ensure that healthcare services are accessible, environmentally friendly, and based on the principle of equality; and we position reducing our environmental impacts, strengthening public health, and supporting social equality among our strategic priorities.
In this context, we not only focus on excellence in healthcare services but also take strong steps to build a long-term sustainable future for our planet and societies. We structure our sustainability efforts around four main themes—Excellence in Governance, Excellence in Environment, Excellence in Society, and Excellence in Technology—and by improving our organizational processes in line with these themes, we progress in alignment with a total of 12 SDGs.
As MLP Care, we transparently share our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance through the indices and assessments of international rating organizations, providing our stakeholders with an accountable sustainability approach. We adopt the methodologies of these indices as a guiding framework to continuously improve our performance.
Our Performance in International IndicesThe increase of our CDP Climate Change and Water Program score from C to B- is a strong indicator of our improvement in the field of environmental sustainability. In line with the new CDP methodology, we aim to expand our scope in the areas of climate change, water security, and deforestation.
Under the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA), we demonstrated that we have carried our environmental and social responsibilities into a corporate systematic by receiving a score above the sector average. We continue to exhibit strong performance in Refinitiv ESG assessments as well, with our data transparency, environmental management, and governance practices.
Sectoral Leadership: BIST IndicesAs MLP Care, we are included in the BIST Sustainability Index and the BIST Sustainability Participation Index. Being the first and only healthcare services company included in these indices strengthens our sectoral leadership in sustainability.
As MLP Care, we embrace digital transformation as one of the fundamental elements of our corporate culture and move forward with a comprehensive digitalization approach aimed at increasing quality, efficiency, and accessibility in healthcare services. We effectively use digital technologies across all our business areas, from R&D to supply chain, and from human resources to financial and operational processes.
A Structure That Leads Digital TransformationOur Digital Transformation Office carries out activities to adapt to innovations in the healthcare sector and to lead technology-oriented transformations. We consider improving the patient experience, enhancing operational planning, and increasing efficiency across the organization among our strategic priorities.
A Strategic InvestmentWe position digital projects as an integral part of our business management. By taking into account the needs of our hospitals as well as employee and patient feedback, we develop the most suitable technological solutions. We regard technology not merely as a tool but as one of the fundamental building blocks of our corporate culture.
Innovation in Patient Experience and Operational EfficiencyBy integrating the latest technologies into our processes, we aim to increase the effectiveness of our healthcare personnel, strengthen patient satisfaction, and make our healthcare services more accessible. Throughout the year, our digital transformation projects continue to support these goals.
We Are Making Strong Progress in Digital HealthWith the projects we implement and our technological investments, we are moving forward confidently as a pioneering institution in the field of digital health. Our digitalization strategy enables MLP Care to be better prepared for the future—stronger, more agile, and more innovative.
Sustainable and responsible corporate practices are an integral part of MLP Care’s corporate strategy. In addition to creating added value for our patient, employees, and investors, we fulfill our responsibilities towards the environment and society. In this context, while continuously enhancing our climate and environmental protection measures, we promote diversity and increase our societal contributions. We support female leadership within our company, enhance gender diversity, and are resolutely advancing towards our goal of reducing carbon emissions.
In line with our carbon neutrality goal by 2050, we are creating our roadmap and accelerating our steps in this process by setting short-term targets.
