In May 2013 it was part of a joint venture which won the EUR22bn contract to construct a third international airport in Istanbul. In July 2013 it was part of a joint venture which acquired the daily newspaper Akşam, together with TV channel Sky Turk 360 and radio station Alem FM, for TL60m.

Greenhouse gas emissions
Climate Trace estimates half-owned Cenal coal-fired power plant emitted over 7 million tons of the country’s total 730 million tons of greenhouse gas in 2022. So it is on the Urgewald Global Coal Exit List.

The company says that "Emissions at the [aluminium] production units in Seydişehir are already 50% lower than European Union standards", however it still runs a small coal-fired power station at that factory.
