VALUE CHAIN

VALUE CHAIN

We closely follow the best practices in the sector in which we operate and always strive to do better. We support every stakeholder in our value chain to meet their basic needs, specially collaborating with farmers and producers. We do business by blending company values with sustainability values.

Our sustainability goal covers our entire value chain.  That is why We address sustainability through the whole life-cycle, from supplying raw materials to the recycling of  waste. We also try to create benefits for each of our stakeholders in this process.  We are aware that We have the power to transform the sector and We aim to ensure the development of our suppliers towards achieving sustainability.  Through systematic audits, We encourage our suppliers to comply with the criteria We set forth..

Sustainable supply of raw material is very important for the continuity of our business. Therefore, We supply approximately 80% of our main raw material wheat from the domestic market.

In 2007, We worked closely with the Bahri Dağdaş International Agricultural Research Institute in Konya to produce high quality, sustainable products, to secure our wheat supply for many years, and to increase domestic biscuit wheat production and secure our wheat supply for a long term.

Aliağa Biscuit Wheat was developed as the result of this collaboration. With this endeavor, We presented a high quality and, domestic, wheat to the agricultural sector for the first time in Turkey.  In addition, it offers high yields and is resistant to drought, disease and climate changes.

Cocoa is one of the main raw materials in our production and We responsibly supply it from abroad. We have been a member of the World Cocoa Foundation since 2012 which supports small-scale farmers and provides capacity building in terms of sustainable farming practices.  We support the empowerment of cocoa farmers and sustainable cocoa farming at the Foundation together with producers worldwide.

    PROGRESSING TOWARDS THE TARGET

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.
