Focus Areas

Sustainability encompasses our human capital strategy. Beyond recruitment, we focus on attracting, developing, and retaining the right talent over the long term, while fostering collaborative, inclusive, and innovation-driven working environments.

Through our “Every Child is a World” initiative, we are committed to preventing child labor in hazelnut agriculture and supporting the children of seasonal agricultural workers through access to education, healthcare, and childcare services. We promote sustainable agricultural practices to protect natural resources and prevent soil erosion, and we ensure compliance through internationally recognized certification schemes such as Rainforest Alliance.

Sustainability is embedded across our supply chain and production processes. At every stage, we focus on minimizing environmental impact while ensuring efficiency, traceability, and product quality in line with international standards.

Our logistics operations are built on reliability, resilience, and flexibility. Throughout 2025 and the first two quarters of 2026, we achieved 100% on-time and consistent delivery performance. In addition, our customized packaging solutions enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

We prioritize renewable energy investments as part of our decarbonization strategy. Through solar panels installed on factory rooftops and open areas, we reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable energy future. Total electricity consumption across our facilities in 2025: 6,900,000 kWh. Total electricity generated from solar energy in 2025: 9,950,000 kWh
