n line with our sustainability vision, we take pride in realizing yet another environmentally conscious investment. In August 2024, we completed the construction of our Solar Power Plant (SPP) in Sungurlu, Çorum, consisting of 2,392 panels with an installed capacity of 1,315 kWp, and began electricity production.
Thanks to this investment, we now meet all the energy used in our production processes from renewable sources. In fact, we produce approximately 30% more energy than our annual consumption, contributing not only to our country but also to the environment. This marks a significant step towards eliminating the carbon footprint resulting from our energy use.
With our ground-mounted solar power plant, we prevent approximately 968 tons of carbon emissions annually — an environmental contribution equivalent to planting more than 88,000 trees.
With a production philosophy that respects nature, we continue to take concrete steps for a more sustainable future.
Sustainability in hazelnut production represents an approach that prioritizes the preservation of nature, the protection of the environment, and the well-being of the local community. We commit to embracing sustainable farming principles in hazelnut production, pledging to safeguard environmental values and social equilibrium.
Sustainability in hazelnut production forms the foundation of our vision to protect nature and communities. We will continue to adhere to sustainable farming principles to not only preserve natural resources for future generations but also enhance the well-being of our local community. With this vision, we will ensure that our hazelnut production remains sustainable, not only for today but also for the future.
We aim to meet the needs of both today and future generations in hazelnut production through sustainable agricultural practices. We embrace an approach that prioritizes not only short-term gains but also the long-term health of ecosystems and societal well-being.
We prioritize environmentally friendly farming practices to preserve soil health, efficiently use water resources, and support biodiversity. This way, we aim to protect natural resources while leaving productive soil and clean water sources for future generations.
We educate our farmers, community, and consumers about the importance of sustainable agriculture. We prioritize education and awareness efforts to promote conscious consumption and sustainability awareness.
We embrace integrated pest management principles by minimizing chemical use. By utilizing natural predators, we ensure the natural control of harmful insects, thus safeguarding the ecosystem.
We support solidarity by collaborating with the local community. Activities such as seed exchanges, knowledge sharing, and creating local markets contribute to both economic development and the sharing of traditional knowledge and experiences.
As hazelnut producers, we act with a consciousness of our responsibility to the environment. We work to minimize our carbon footprint by focusing on energy efficiency in our production processes, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, aiming to make a sustainable contribution to preserving our environment.
