A holistic approach to Corporate Social Responsibility

At Yiğitoğlu, we consider being sensitive to CSR and sustainability as being part of our DNA.

With our ‘Responsible Transformation Project’, we defined clear qualitative and quantitative objectives to work on for the next 5 years. We believe that sustainability is a never-ending process, thus our strategy is to define precise, measurable targets for the near future.

Our efforts are divided into 4 different pillars.

1. Environment

• Measuring and improving water & energy consumption
• Diminishing pollution
• Taking care of the biodiversity
• Managing materials, chemicals & waste responsibly

2. Labor and Human Rights

• Zero tolerance towards child labor & forced labor
• Sensitively managing diversity, discrimination & harassment
• Improving working conditions
• Managing employee health & safety
• Providing training & career management

3. Ethics

• No toleration for corruption
• Preventing anti-competitive practices
• Careful information management

4. Sustainable Procurement

• Supplier environmental & social practices

Considering that we are right in the middle of the supply chain, our role is to make sure to find and provide sustainable products for our business partners. It is important to look at the environmental, social, and economic impacts of a product or service over its entire life cycle. Our role in the supply chain allows us to have a major influence on a product/service’s life cycle as the selection of raw materials can define up to 90% of a company’s sustainability impact.

Acting as a bridge between external and internal stakeholders, we can make sure to fulfill the sustainability requirements that need action in the supply chain, and we are hoping to do so for many years to come.
