CEO Message
Gülant CANDAŞ
CEO (Executive Director)
In 2023, the heartbreaking earthquake disaster and the ongoing wars in our near geography showed us all the magnitude of the impact of people living around the world on each other. In the 100th anniversary of our Republic ; we, as Batı Anadolu Group, have taken various steps to build a sustainable future. We are re-evaluating our business operations, making improvements in areas such as energy efficiency and waste management, and focusing on efforts to strengthen our supply chain with sustainable materials and suppliers. We also organize training programs and awareness activities to raise awareness of our employees on sustainability and encourage them.
However, integration and collaboration with all our stakeholders are of utmost importance to go further on our sustainability journey. We will continue to increase our efforts to save energy and resources, promote recycling, and share best practices on sustainability. I also believe that we need to adopt a more transparent approach to monitoring and reporting our environmental and social impact.
As Batı Anadolu Group, we continue our activities with our values of sincerity, unity, innovation and continuous development, which we have prioritized since our foundation, and with our sustainability principles that represent our innovative growth approach focused on our employees, society, stakeholders, and the environment. We continue our economic growth with an approach focusing on people, needs of future generations, protecting natural resources and the environment, making investments aiming for social benefit, and carrying out social responsibility projects.
We see technological development, R&D, and innovation as the building blocks of sustainable growth. We take all necessary measures to eliminate or minimize the negative impacts of our activities on the environment. We transform the potential threats posed by environmental issues for sustainability with environmentally friendly technologies and products.
In the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), our 6 strategic priorities for transformation are Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
In line with the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal, and our country's policies and commitments in this area, we will use our best efforts to achieve “2053 Zero Emission” target as one of the main targets our Group's Sustainability Strategy as well as our performance targets.
I would like to express my gratitude to all our stakeholders, especially the employees of Batı Anadolu Group, who contribute to our efforts for a Sustainable “World” as our Common Heritage for “People”.
