Hakan Karan — Etki Fabrikası Chief Impact Officer
AUTHOR

Hakan Karan

Chief Impact Officer, Etki Fabrikası

Co-founder of Etki Fabrikası and its Chief Impact Officer. More than twenty years of sustainability consulting sit behind that title: corporate reporting, ESG strategy and social impact programmes, built with some of the largest brands in Türkiye. The sectors are the ones a European buyer rarely sees at close range but depends on anyway.

Areas of Expertise

Hakan Karan advises on corporate sustainability in finance, mining, textiles, energy and retail. For a company reporting in Europe, the useful part of that list is usually the heavy end of it: the operations where the value chain actually runs and where the data is hardest to obtain. His ground:

Reporting to the GRI Standards
ESG Strategy and Roadmaps
CSRD / ESRS and TSRS Compliance
IFC / EBRD Environmental and Social Assessment
Corporate Social Responsibility Programmes
Social Impact Measurement (SROI)
Stakeholder Engagement and Materiality
Climate Action and Carbon Reporting

His Role at Etki Fabrikası

As Chief Impact Officer he owns the strategic design and the project leadership of a client's sustainability programme. He steers our teams on sustainability reporting, strategic consulting and CSR programme design, and he runs most first assessment meetings with corporate clients himself.

That first meeting is about scope before it is about ambition: which entities, which standard, which financial year, and which parts of the value chain you can realistically get data from.
