As part of our job, we work within a culture that values environmental protection and the preservation of natural resources. For us, acting in accordance with the Code of Ethics while doing our job means adhering to ethical thinking and practices not only in our work and business relationships but also in our relationships with the environment and society. We believe that it is important for our employees to not only receive training on this issue but also to learn by doing and develop their skills in order to integrate the sustainability approach within the company. While we are developing systems and processes that will support this environment, we are also planning work that will enable our employees to integrate more systematically into the subject in order to achieve our sustainability goals together.
On the one hand, we integrate the concept of sustainability into our business practices, and on the other hand, we are proud to take our place among the companies that are cited as exemplary globally as a result of the meticulous and careful work of our Health, Safety, Environment and Quality (HSE-Q) team.
What We Have Achieved
- Within the framework of the importance we attach to occupational health and safety, we received the "International Occupational Safety Award" given by the British Safety Council in 2024 for the 10th time.
- We have been fully complying with all measurement requirements and commitments of SQAS (Safety and Quality Assessment for Sustainability) since 2005. As one of the best implementers of the system by scoring well above the European average, we also became the owner of the OCS certificate by fulfilling all the requirements of the Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) program, an international initiative launched by SQAS as of 2023, which aims to reduce the plastic granule loss of the plastic industry to the environment and raises awareness on this issue.
As part of this initiative, which aims to ensure that plastic granules, particles and dust passing through production facilities in Türkiye are handled with the necessary care and do not mix with rivers or seas , we continue our work to leave cleaner seas and the world for future generations.
- We also crowned our environmentally sensitive approach in the logistics sector with the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) 2023 rating results. CDP, a London-based international non-governmental organization that annually asks the world's largest companies to provide information on their greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, and the climate change risks and opportunities they pose, has announced the environmental performance of the companies it cooperates with for 2023. Our company received an “A” score for its emission reduction initiatives and low-carbon products, while its overall score was published as “B”. We are carrying out many projects to reduce the emissions we create, from increasing combined freight transport trips to including the use of renewable energy sources in our energy consumption. At the same time, our contributions to suitable afforestation areas throughout Türkiye and our efforts to reduce the use of natural resources continue uninterrupted.
