Sustainable Procurement Disclosure

Marmara University recognizes sustainability as one of the fundamental elements of its

institutional development and is committed to reducing the environmental impacts associated with

its activities.

Within Marmara University’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, under the strategic objective of

“Increasing Societal Contribution and Supporting Sustainable Development,” the University has

established the target of “increasing the number of projects promoting environmental sustainability

by 100%.” In line with this target, the Strategic Plan identifies areas including energy efficiency,

zero-waste management, carbon footprint reduction, environmentally friendly transportation,

recycling, green space management, and sustainable campus practices.

As a public university, Marmara University conducts the procurement of goods and services and

construction works in accordance with applicable public procurement, public financial

management, and other relevant legislation. The University’s procurement processes are therefore

subject to the legal and financial framework governing Turkish public institutions.

Within this regulatory framework, Marmara University recognizes the relevance of environmental

sustainability considerations to procurement and supply processes. Where permitted by applicable

legislation and the requirements of individual procurement procedures, environmental

considerations may include resource and energy efficiency, waste reduction, the environmental

impacts associated with the use of goods and services, and consistency with the University’s

broader sustainable campus objectives.

This disclosure does not constitute a separate procurement policy. Rather, it sets out the

relationship between the environmental sustainability objectives established in Marmara

University’s 2026–2030 Strategic Plan and the University’s procurement activities within the

applicable public procurement framework. Marmara University aims to progressively strengthen the consideration of environmental

sustainability within its administrative and operational processes, including procurement, in line

with developments in national public procurement legislation and sustainable public procurement

practices.

Basis: Marmara University 2026–2030 Strategic Plan, Strategic Objective A3 – “Increasing

Societal Contribution and Supporting Sustainable Development”; Target A3.H2 – “Increasing the

number of projects promoting environmental sustainability by 100%.”
