Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) applies its Minimisation Policies beyond campus boundaries, extending them to suppliers and external partners. These policies require all suppliers to adopt environmentally responsible practices focused on waste reduction, efficient resource use, and sustainable production.

In procurement and contracting processes, KTU prioritizes suppliers who demonstrate a strong commitment to eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient operations, and minimised plastic or disposable item usage. The university encourages collaboration with partners that align with its sustainability values and ethical sourcing principles.

By implementing these supplier-focused measures, KTU supports SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production, ensuring that sustainability principles are embedded throughout its entire supply chain.
