Our Responsibility to Society

A Journey towards a Modern Future via Education, Culture and the Arts

Since Borusan was founded over 65 years ago it has adopted as a basic value the concept of giving back to the community from which it earns. On the one hand we are committed to excellence in our job, making resources available and creating value for Turkey, and on the other hand the Company has embraced the responsibility of helping society in areas where government resources fall short. In this regard, Borusan has chosen to focus on promoting education, culture and the arts in order to fulfi ll its social responsibilities.

In addition to these efforts Borusan has perpetually provided both fi nancial and moral support to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Currently, the Company fi nancially supports fi ve such organizations which are active and respected in Turkey. The Group encourages all Borusan staff to become involved in both the management and social responsibility projects of these NGOs and there is now more than 150 Borusan employees, including managers, who are active at various levels in these foundations. Borusan coordinates its social activities through its own non-profi t organizations, Borusan Kocabıyık Foundation and Borusan Culture and Arts (BKS), both of which have greatly contributed to change the face of education, culture and the arts in Turkey.
