Within the scope of our trading activities, which is our second main business line, we take a position in the energy markets -independently of our company's generation activities and assets- vis-a-vis our comprehensive and detailed analysis within the framework of defined risk limits.
In this context, we take an active role in the following topics:

Commercial risks and optimization risks cover the changes over time regarding the prices and additional costs of the electrical energy we generate or trade, and the commodities such as natural gas, petroleum products and lignite that we consume or trade both within free and regulated markets, as well as their effects on profitability.
In this regard, we determine our trading and optimization risk policy to manage risks. We carry out our commercial and optimization risk management activities in co-operation with the Commercial Risk Management Department and the teams that carry out all commercial and optimization activities. We periodically report the profitability and risks of each commercial and optimization activity, and monitor and report most of the risks on a daily basis. We maintain risk capital allocated for commercial activities and monitor trading limits on a daily basis, setting them according to this risk capital and current risk appetite. We use advanced Value at Risk (VaR) models to measure business risks.
We increased the depth of cross-border trade between European countries with Enerjisa Commodities' effective trading in the European Energy organized and OTC markets. Thanks to our ETRM system, we have the ability to track all positions in real time and make risk measurements by successfully completing digitalization integrations into the markets.
We continue our expansion into new markets and cross-border carbon trading, focusing on our goal of becoming an active player in green energy markets. In this process, we meticulously analyze counterparty risks and constantly monitor contract and operational risks. Our effective risk management strategy contributes to maintaining our strong position in the sector and achieving sustainable success.
Our Trading and Optimization Risk Management Committee meets regularly to direct and supervise risk management activities. Committee members are comprised of the CFO, Energy Markets DGM, Strategy and Portfolio Management Director and Risk Culture Leader who determine the risk appetite, authorizations, limits and trading principles in line with our current risk-bearing capacity. The committee questions the adequacy of existing systems and decides on areas to be improved, also identifies risky situations at the commercial operations level and decides on action plans to eliminate the risk in question.
We took on the Official Green Sponsorship of the Euroleague for 3 years to raise awareness of Enerjisa Commodities and demonstrate our capabilities on environmental issues. This was one of our important milestones in 2023 In this context, we will calculate the carbon footprint that will occur during the matches to be played in Türkiye throughout the league and ensure that it is offset with carbon certificates. We will continue our initiatives in this direction in 2024 to demonstrate our presence in the global arena.
