SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

The participation of AKSA employees in extra-curricular activities carries great importance for the company in terms of motivation, creating corporate culture, company improvement and employee self-development. The enrichment of routine work life by means of educational programs, seminars and other shared activities in sports, arts and culture aim to enable the employee to improve himself/herself.

Meetings with renowned guests and field experts have been carried out continuously since 1983 under the name "AKSA Chats."

Under the direct encouragement of AKSA's top management, a large number of AKSA's employees are involved in voluntary studies. These study programs fall under the umbrella of well-known associations and foundations that are active in environmental and cultural issues at local and national levels. For example, close to forty [40] AKSA employees are members of TEMA [The Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion and Reforestation] and The Association for the Preservation of National Life.

An inter-company organisation called the "AKSA Social Activities Team [AKSET]" is responsible for the planning, coordination and implementation of AKSA social activities. AKSET consists solely of voluntary employees who operate activities using AKSET's own financial budget determined on a yearly basis.
