Founded in 2018, the company provides integrated green building consulting and certification management services across five major international standards — LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, EDGE, and WELL. Its service portfolio spans high-performance building design consultancy, energy and daylight simulation modeling using EnergyPlus and DesignBuilder, Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), urban transformation and neighborhood-scale certification (BREEAM Communities, LEED ND), sustainability guide development, project funding advisory, and professional training including P.E. license preparation and LEED Faculty workshops.

The firm operates a project-based B2B professional services model with fees determined per engagement, delivering work through direct consulting relationships with real estate developers, corporate owners (including Akbank, Sabancı Holding, Rönesans, Turkcell, TÜPRAŞ, Trendyol, Equinix, Mercedes-Benz, 3M, AstraZeneca, Schneider Electric, and KFC), and government entities (Gaziantep and Sarıyer municipalities). TURKECO holds the only BREEAM Communities licensed assessor status in Turkey since 2012 and was the first Turkish company elected to the USGBC Board of Directors in 2013. The firm also serves as Turkey Director of the Horizon 2020 SMARTER consortium, coordinating green mortgage and green homes programs across 12 European countries.

Commercially, TURKECO generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) project-based green building consulting and certification advisory, (2) training and education services for engineers and financial institutions, and (3) project funding advisory. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct business development, industry events, professional network referrals, and visibility generated through the founder Dr. Duygu Erten's USGBC Board position and international sustainability awards. The company has delivered 50+ certified projects including multiple Turkish firsts — LEED Platinum (RönesansBiz Küçükyalı, Türkiye Müteahhitler Birliği), DGNB Gold (Quasar Istanbul), BREEAM Outstanding (Kanyon AVM), and EDGE-certified residential (Greenox Residence) — and has documented project delivery in Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan alongside its Turkish core market.
