Background and context
When the European Union introduced the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), it triggered a wave of activity—and uncertainty—across industries. Many companies hit pause in 2024, reassessing timelines and scaling back efforts following the EU’s “stop-the-clock” Omnibus Simplification Package.
But Wittur, a global leader in elevator components, made a different call.
From the very start, the company viewed CSRD not just as a regulatory hurdle, but as an opportunity to build something lasting—real value, deeper stakeholder trust, and a more resilient business. Led by Ayperi Sevincli, Global Head of Sustainability, Wittur decided to keep going, undeterred by shifting deadlines. The mission was clear: prepare thoroughly, act early, and embed sustainability into the core of the business.
Building the Foundation
Wittur knew this journey wouldn’t be about ticking boxes. To lay the groundwork for meaningful and audit-ready sustainability reporting, the company focused on getting its systems and people ready—starting with the right tools and partnerships.
Ayperi Sevincli, Global Head of Sustainability, explains why they chose KEY ESG as their software partner:
"KEY ESG's intuitive platform aided us in our journey to streamline workflows around data aggregation so that we could more easily and quickly move to action plans and improvement. The platform and the customer support team have enabled us to tackle CSRD processes with confidence and look beyond compliance to achieving our sustainability goals."
