Sabancı at a Glance in 2022

From the new normal,
to 'new economy'

Technology has lent substantial impetus to change across the globe. Amid this change, the pandemic and global gyrations brought to the fore a major concept, namely the ‘new normal’.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, we, as Sabancı Group, tended not to adapt ourselves to the new normal, rather positioned ourselves as one its play-makers.

As a part of its commitment to dynamic portfolio management strategy, Sabancı Group has successfully executed its transformation process in 2022 by completing investments in various businesses. After divesting its shares in Phillip Morris by the beginning of the year and raising TL 3.2 billion in proceeds, Sabancı Group allocated TL 4.9 billion throughout 2022 specifically to energy and climate technologies, advanced material technologies and digital technologies, which are defined as ‘new economy’ investments by the Group.
