Sustainability
Responsible Production for the Future
With our approach focused on environmental, social, and governance considerations, we view the creation of sustainable value as our top priority.
OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
From raw material production to our customer relationships, we contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across our entire value chain.
The 17 global sustainability goals defined by the organization pave the way for sustainable development and provide a framework for what we can and must achieve to ensure the company’s continued success in the future. Given our broad scope and multi-layered business model, we ultimately keep all of these goals at the forefront of our focus.
Since our very first day, we have continued to contribute to our country’s economy while protecting natural resources and the environment. We are committed to a sustainable production model based on the circular economy and innovation. We contribute to efforts to combat climate change. We sustain our economic growth through an approach that prioritizes people, is grounded in the values of integrity and honesty, and focuses on investments and social responsibility projects aimed at creating social value.
TECHNOCAST’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
At Technocast, we believe that development can only be successful if a balance is struck between economic, social, and environmental dimensions and actions are taken accordingly. Guided by this belief and a sense of responsibility, we integrate sustainability with corporate governance principles and incorporate it into all our practices, operations, and decision-making processes.
“We are deeply passionate about leading the sustainability transformation in our industry. We are developing projects that will help build the future together by contributing to our stakeholders’ sustainability journeys.”
OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES
At Technocast, sustainability is defined as creating long-term value—financial, environmental, social, and ethical—for the benefit of our customers, suppliers, employees, and the community.
Our approach to sustainability is built on three pillars:
- Sustainable sourcing
- Sustainable operations
- Corporate social responsibility
At Technocast, environmental impacts play a key role in ensuring the continuity of our sustainability initiatives. Climate change and dwindling resources are having a significant impact on water supply.
For this reason, combating the climate crisis is one of our top priorities. While contributing to economic growth and employment in the area surrounding our factory site, we also prioritize local development.
This approach to all relevant matters aims to create lasting value, protect natural resources, invest in people, and actively assess risks and opportunities, with the goal of continuously increasing the value added for stakeholders.
EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT & INCLUSIVITY
People are at the heart of our business. Technocast views talent development as the most important factor in driving the company forward. In this context, we invest in employee development to foster a fair work environment that values diversity and enhances employee satisfaction. All operations are conducted in accordance with the “safety first” principle and a zero-accident, zero-occupational-illness approach.
We support an inclusive organizational culture that ensures everyone has equal opportunities. We will continue to develop awareness initiatives and expand the opportunities we offer to women to ensure that gender equality is embraced by all our employees and stakeholders.
The key focus areas of our Gender Equality Program:
- Increasing the influence of women in decision-making roles
- Improving work-life balance
- Increasing women's access to non-traditional jobs
- Maintaining a non-sexist communication style
- Working together with all our stakeholders to prevent activities that could hinder women’s participation in the workforce
At the facilities operated by Technocast, women account for approximately 47% of our workforce, including senior executives, white-collar employees, and blue-collar workers.
OUR SUSTAINABLE R&D & PROJECTS
With its R&D center, which began operations in 2017, Technocast places special emphasis on research, technology development, and digital transformation initiatives with the aim of enhancing its competitive advantage in the global marketplace and ensuring sustainability and excellence across all its processes.
Literature and material research on the use of bio-based polymers in certain components of products currently in production has been completed, and we have now reached the stage of conducting sample studies and trials. Based on the positive results obtained, all components where bio-based raw materials can be used will be evaluated.
In a model selected from the broom product line, 90% of the original plastic raw material has been replaced with recycled material. Energy and water savings have also been achieved by eliminating the painting process for this product.
“We are committed to doing our part to build a more sustainable future. That is why we place great value on any suggestions and contributions you, our valued stakeholders, can offer to our sustainability journey. Our goal is to build a better future together.”
