SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH AND PILLARS

Since our foundation, we have seen sustainability as an integral part of our business through our understanding of making happy becomes happiness. We work together with all our stakeholders in our value chain to develop and grow.  Our work in this field can be categorized under six pillars: Environment, Value Chain, Employees, Innovation, Social Responsability and Leadership.

On this journey, we refer to the goals we set for 2024 and the sustainability principles developed by us under these six pillars. We closely monitor national and international agendas and global trends with the pupose of contributing to the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.  We believe that sustainability efforts will only be successful if all companies and employees can adopt them.
