TCMB sector comparison

Where does the company stand in its sector?

Read company financial indicators alongside TCMB statistics for the same year, sector and appropriate size group. Clear charts and expert commentary explain the differences.

Interactive illustrative example · Not actual TCMB data

Sample context: 2024 · illustrative activity sector · medium size. Source: fictional demonstration data.

Collection period (days)

Company75 days

Sector median55 days

Sector middle range (25th–75th percentile)35–70 days

  • ● Blue dot: company
  • │ Line: sector median
  • ▰ Shaded range: middle half of the sector

Illustrative expert commentary: The collection period is 20 days longer than the sector median. This may increase working capital needs.

All figures in this example are fictional. An actual report identifies the financial year, activity sector (NACE), size group and TCMB source period. The median is the middle value; the middle range covers the middle half of companies. Higher is not always better.

Missing data or an unsuitable comparison group is disclosed, not plotted as zero. The middle range is used only where supported by source data.

Clear comparison

Company values, sector medians and the sector's middle range are shown together. The median is the middle value in the comparison group.

Transparent sources

The report states the data year, NACE sector, size group and source. Use of a broader comparison group is disclosed.

Comparable data

Available across all four services where suitable financials exist. Unavailable comparisons are disclosed for newly established businesses or those without sufficient financial history.

The comparison does not change the score, class or credit limit. It is prepared by RiskOpto using public sector data and is not TCMB approval of a company.

Decision

Which decision does it support?

Adding a Turkish supplier to an approved supplier list, or enabling the supplier to present an independent report to its buyers in Türkiye and abroad.

Who it is for

  • Foreign buyers sourcing from Türkiye, primarily in the EU, and procurement teams in Türkiye
  • Turkish manufacturers that want to approach buyers abroad with an independent assessment report
  • Companies that want to document their supply chain with regard to CBAM, forced labour and sanctions

Two ways to apply

Buyers and suppliers can both apply

The question set and the assessment are the same; what differs is who applies and who receives the report.

Applying as a buyer

A buyer in Türkiye or abroad has its supplier assessed

  • The buyer applies; the supplier answers the questions in the panel.
  • If the buyer shares its annual purchase value and volume, dependency and capacity coverage ratios are calculated.
  • The report is delivered to the buyer; the supplier cannot access it.
  • The report is prepared in English for international decision-makers.
Apply as a buyer

Applying as a supplier

A Turkish supplier requests a report on its own company

  • On the application form, choose “My own company (as the supplier)”.
  • You answer the questions and can state your target markets and customer profile.
  • The report is delivered to you; you can share it in full with current and prospective buyers.
  • Your buyers confirm the report's authenticity on RiskOpto with its verification code.
Apply as a supplier

Why now

Buyers primarily in the EU and around the world are asking suppliers for more information

A buyer may not be able to ask everything directly, but it still carries the risk. An independent expert report makes things easier for both sides.

CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)

The definitive period began on 1 January 2026. Without installation-level emissions data, a buyer importing cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity or hydrogen pays for more expensive certificates based on default values.

EU Forced Labour Regulation

From 14 December 2027, products made with forced labour can no longer be placed on the EU market; the regulation applies regardless of company size. The UFLPA in the US and the Modern Slavery Act in the UK are pushing buyers towards similar checks.

Supply chain due diligence

Buyers covered by the EU CSDDD, Germany's LkSG and similar rules, and companies with global procurement policies, ask suppliers for risk analyses, codes of conduct and grievance mechanism details.

Sanctions and re-export

EU, US (OFAC), UK and UN sanctions lists, the “No Russia” contract clause and end-user checks are questions buyers ask frequently.

Assessment dimensions

What do we review?

Each dimension's weight determines its contribution to the class. If a critical dimension cannot be assessed, no class is given.

Financial strength and continuitycritical

Profitability, indebtedness, liquidity, customer concentration and the buyer's share of the supplier's turnover.

25%

Quality, capacity and deliverycritical

Quality certificates, capacity and utilisation, on-time and in-full delivery, traceability, and the product conformity requirements of the target market.

30%

Sustainability and international regulatory readiness

CBAM emissions data, greenhouse gas inventory, environment and occupational safety, labour rights and sub-suppliers.

25%

Compliance and integritycritical

Beneficial owners, sanctions screening, sales to sanctioned countries, anti-bribery and payment security.

20%

The report is not a compliance certificate; it does not declare conformity with CBAM, CSDDD, LkSG, the EU Forced Labour Regulation or the legislation of any other country. It shows the supplier's level of readiness based on its declarations and documents. The report is valid for 12 months from the date of approval.

Result

What do the classes mean for this service?

A

Can be approved as a standard supplier; annual monitoring is sufficient.

B

Can be approved; a time-bound improvement plan and 6-monthly monitoring are recommended.

C

A conditional start is recommended: pilot order, on-site audit or additional safeguards.

D

Approval as a supplier is not recommended on the basis of current information; the issues to be resolved are listed.

If critical information or documents are missing, no class is given (Incomplete due to missing information). Information sufficiency and the dimension profile are reported alongside the class.

Scope

You choose the scope of the review
