Focus Areas
Human Capital
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.
Agriculture
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.
Production & Supply Chain
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.
Logistics
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.
Energy
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.
