Today, there is a paradigm shift from traditional competitiveness to green competitiveness. This change forces organizations to change their strategies. Organizations that leave the traditional understanding start to develop green strategies. Businesses that establish environmental strategies which their competitors are unable to replicate can gain a sustainable competitive advantage and ultimately profit in the long term. Thus, organizations gain competitive advantage through green intellectual capital. The main purpose of this study is to conduct a content analysis of the green intellectual capital elements of the enterprises in the BIST Sustainability 25 Index. The companies included in this index are those with high overall sustainability scores and transparently disclose information on their social, environmental and managerial performance to the public. Another objective of the study is to create a conceptual framework for the concept of green intellectual capital and to systematically analyze the studies on the concept in the literature. According to the results of the study, it is concluded that the enterprises in the index disclose their activities related to green structural capital and green relational capital, which are green intellectual capital dimensions, more than green human capital.
