Letter from the CEO

Dear Stakeholders,

As we step into the second century of the Sabancı Group, I am honored and excited to assume the role of CEO of Sabancı Holding. Without a doubt, this new chapter brings with it a profound sense of responsibility.

This responsibility goes far beyond the duties of a position. It is a mission to carry forward the values, culture, and vision of one of Türkiye’s most established and influential institutions. For over a century, Sabancı has not only been a prominent player in the business world but also a force that touches lives, drives transformation, and creates lasting value. Now, the time has come to redefine this legacy for a new era.

The world we live in today is shaped as much by uncertainty as it is by opportunity. Global power dynamics are shifting, the climate crisis is deepening, technological transformation is accelerating, and societal expectations are being rewritten. At Sabancı, we view this period not merely as a time to adapt, but as a call to lead.

Our strategy is built on this vision:

• We are a group that believes in Türkiye’s potential while competing on a global scale. • With a bold, determined, and focused approach, we are reinforcing the leadership vision of our Group companies through strong business performance. 
• We are driven by a value creation mindset rooted in impact, inclusiveness, and sustainability. 
• We are investing in transformative sectors, building the future today across a broad spectrum—from material technologies to mobility, from digital solutions to climate technologies. 

With this approach, we are committed to engaging every one of our stakeholders: 

• Together with our employees, we are building the capabilities of the future today. 
• We offer our customers, business partners, and suppliers a reliable and innovative ecosystem. 
• We create long-term value for our investors through balanced growth and responsible governance. 
• We contribute meaningfully to society through our Sabancı Youth Mobilization and our sustainability vision. 
• We strengthen our collaboration with public institutions and international stakeholders through transparency, governance, and partnership. 

Our greatest strength in this transformation journey is the Sabancı culture—a culture shaped by responsibility, empowered by performance, and rooted in the spirit of collective progress. This culture will continue to distinguish us not only today, but in the future as well.Guided by the long-term vision and unwavering commitment of our Board of Directors, we will continue on our path with the ambition to position Sabancı not only as a leading company in Türkiye, but also as a source of inspiration on the global stage.

As we reinforce our “Sabancı of the World” vision in our second century, we are moving forward—together—toward becoming a more global, more digital, and more inclusive organization.

With strong belief in our collective ability to shape the future, I extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you.

Yours sincerely,
