Environmental Protection and Waste Management Policy
Environmental awareness is becoming more and more important day by day and the responsibilities of businesses in this field are increasing. As our business, we act meticulously in environmental protection and waste management, and aim to contribute to our environment by adopting the principle of sustainability.
We are determined to minimize environmental impacts and comply with legal regulations. Adopting the principle of working in harmony with the environment, we effectively separate our wastes according to their source, groups and hazard classes. At the same time, we use hazardous materials only to the extent we need them, both reducing the negative impact on the environment and minimizing the amount of waste.
We prefer materials labeled “recycling” and “environmentally friendly” in product procurement, thus contributing to the protection of nature. We strive to reduce the amount of waste by creating opportunities for reuse.
We take care to leave less waste in nature by using disposable materials as needed. We demonstrate a sustainable approach by using products such as paper, napkins, toilet paper and packaging without wasting them.
We store waste in separate areas according to their characteristics and deliver them to licensed and authorized companies without exceeding the legal storage time limits, and we follow these processes meticulously. We maintain records of all these activities and transparently carry out the environmental management of our business.
We adopt the principle of using water, energy and natural resources economically and share our sensitivity on this issue with our employees, guests and suppliers. By using resources efficiently, we both reduce costs and minimize our impact on the environment.
We regularly measure our performance in environmental management and continuously improve our company’s environmentally friendly policy by comparing this data with the targets we set.
We also organize various training programs to educate our employees about the environment and increase their sensitivity. By creating a conscious workforce, we ensure cooperation on environmental protection and waste management.
As a company, we are aware of our responsibilities in the field of environmental protection and waste management and we will continue to contribute to a sustainable future by maintaining our commitment to protecting our environment.
