Environmental Awareness:
Responsibility
From Today to Tomorrow

At CMS AS we measure, report and systematically reduce the environmental impact of every production decision. Our environmental management system, run within the ISO 14001:2015 framework, places our shipbuilding and industrial engineering activities on a sustainable foundation.

Our Environmental Policy

Responsible Production, Sustainable Future

CMS AS systematically monitors, evaluates and manages environmental impacts in its shipbuilding and industrial production activities under the principle of continuous improvement. Having established its first environmental management system in 2006, our company has since successfully passed an independent external audit every two years.

From waste management to energy efficiency, from emission control to chemical safety, we develop environmentally conscious practices in every area. We encourage the use of eco-friendly materials throughout the supply chain and evaluate our suppliers against environmental criteria. Our green procurement policy is an integral part of the supplier selection process.

Under the environmental monitoring programs applied at our Gebze facilities, water consumption, energy use, waste quantities and air emissions are reported monthly; reduction steps are taken in line with defined targets. Our annual sustainability report is shared transparently with all our stakeholders.

As of 2025 we have put our Decarbonisation Roadmap into action. Within this framework, photovoltaic solar panel investments, the transition to electric forklifts and green hydrogen research are among our priority agenda items.

Milestones

Our Environmental Journey

2006

First Environmental Management System

With the ISO 14001:2004 certificate, we transitioned to systematic environmental management and established an environmental unit.

2012

Waste Reduction Program

Industrial waste was reduced by 45% in 3 years; a scrap metal recovery line was commissioned.

2016

Water Recovery Facility

A closed-loop cooling system was installed, saving 8,000 m³ of water annually.

2019

Solar Energy Investment

800 kWp of solar panels were installed on the facility roof; 38% of annual electricity demand began to be met from solar.

2022

ISO 14001:2015 Renewal

Recertification to the current standard was completed; a carbon footprint measurement and reporting system was launched.

2025

Decarbonisation Roadmap

The 2030 net zero carbon target was announced; a Scope 3 emission reduction program and green supply chain transformation were launched.
