A strategic partnership was formed between CO2 Manager and Gebze Technical University to advance the software’s development. The goal is to improve carbon footprint reporting through academic support and broader implementation.
Gebze, May 13, 2025 — A significant cooperation protocol was signed with the Gebze Technical University Technology Transfer Office (GTU TTO) to support the development and wider adoption of the CO2 Manager software. This collaboration, established under TÜBİTAK's 1831 Green Transformation Call, aims to make carbon footprint calculation and reporting processes more effective, accurate, and comprehensive.
A New Era in Carbon Footprint Calculation
CO2 Manager is a comprehensive carbon footprint software developed specifically for the needs of environmental consulting firms. It is TSE-certified and fully compliant with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064-1 standards. With its ability to generate reports in three different languages (Turkish, English, and German), it is a reliable tool for use on international platforms as well.
Designed with a user-friendly interface, CO2 Manager aims to deliver maximum efficiency with minimal training. It enables environmental consulting firms to provide their clients with detailed, reliable reports that comply with legal regulations.
Strong Link Between University and Software
The protocol, made official during a signing ceremony at the GTU Technology Transfer Office, is intended to support the further development of the software through academic collaboration and the addition of new modules. By combining the university’s R&D capabilities with the practical applications of CO2 Manager, the partnership aims to contribute to environmental sustainability at both regional and national levels.
Additionally, the software is planned to be used as an educational tool in relevant university faculties and tested in pilot projects.
Promoting Environmental Transformation Through a Dealership Model
CO2 Manager also offers additional income opportunities to its partners through a dealership model tailored for environmental consulting firms. With this model, firms can provide carbon footprint reports that meet standards, earn commissions from sales, and gain a competitive edge in the sustainability field.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Both parties emphasize that this cooperation represents a significant step towards achieving Turkey’s 2053 Net Zero Emissions Target. The partnership aims to support innovation in environmental technologies and strengthen public-private sector collaboration through joint projects.
Official Protocol Signed and Registered
The cooperation protocol was officially signed and registered on May 13, 2025, at a ceremony held at the Gebze Technical University Technology Transfer Office. A group photo commemorating the partnership was also shared with the public.
