Koç Holding used its role as a global business partner of COP31 to put energy transition and industrial competitiveness at the center of its public message. At a panel held on November 10 in Antalya, Vice-Chair Ali Y. Koç said energy had moved beyond being a cost factor and had become decisive for global competition, according to PR Newswire.
From climate policy to competitiveness
Koç argued that governments are building domestic industrial capacity around energy independence and resilience. In his view, electrification and domestic clean-energy investment are becoming part of the competitive framework for industry rather than only climate-policy objectives.
He also called for COP31 to focus on investments mobilized, projects implemented and emissions reduced, rather than only on commitments. Koç proposed a scorecard covering both production capacity and the infrastructure needed to support the transition.
