Message from the Chairperson
With our sustainability-driven approach, we produce for a better future.
Dear Stakeholders,
We have passed the first anniversary of the devastating earthquake that struck 11 provinces in Türkiye on February 6. We once again commemorate the citizens we lost with deep respect and remembrance, and reaffirm the importance of the solidarity and sense of responsibility we have shown in healing the wounds caused by this major disaster.
The year 2024 was marked by global economic fluctuations, geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures, and sectoral transformations. As a joint venture of Sabancı Holding and Heidelberg Materials, our company successfully continued its operations by leveraging integrated production systems, an effective operational network, and a focus on business optimization. During this period, sustained cement demand and stable energy prices helped balance inflationary pressures, contributing positively to our performance.
Sustaınabılıty at the Core of Our Busıness Strategy
In the past year, we have achieved significant milestones in line with our strategic focus on sustainability. As global change accelerates, we believe that creating long-term value hinges on the effective management of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The Sustainability Academy, which we launched this year in collaboration with our employees, trainers, and top management, has played a pivotal role in advancing our journey toward a sustainable future.
With our vision of becoming Turkey’s leading sustainable building materials company in terms of stakeholder value, we focus on creating value for all our stakeholders and for our planet. Led by our social responsibility project 'Gönüllü Yolculuğum' (My Volunteer Journey), we will continue to produce for the future of our planet through inclusive initiatives centered around sustainability and innovation.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our colleagues and stakeholders whose support has made our successes possible.
Yours sincerely,
Burak Orhun
Chairperson
