7.2.6. Divestment Policy

IGU does not pursue a direct or indirect investment policy in energy sources based on fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum, which cause high carbon emissions and harm environmental sustainability. The university's investment priorities are based on environmental and social impact criteria, and there is no policy of providing any funding, partnership, or sponsorship to carbon-intensive energy industries. On the contrary, priority is given to increasing the use of renewable energy and investing in environmentally friendly technologies in line with corporate sustainability goals.

This approach demonstrates that the university prioritizes environmentally friendly choices not only in its energy investments but also in all strategic planning processes. In line with this, the Carbon Emissions and Nature Conservation Policy, Waste Management and Reduction of Environmentally Harmful Products Policy and Sustainable Procurement and Supplier Policy are also actively in force. These policies contribute to reducing the university's environmental impact, increasing its social contribution, and achieving its long-term sustainable development goals.
