Sustainability at OYAK

Management Approach

Growing every day since it was established in 1961 and extending to a wider geography, OYAK also acts with a vision of adding value to its country while making decisions that will guide potential investments.

While getting prepared for the future, OYAK is aware of its responsibilities against more than 460 thousand members, the society and the environment. Sustainability insight at OYAK is spread with the support of the senior management through a holistic and comprehensive strategy.

OYAK Ecosystem

As a pension fund which has always devoted itself to continuous improvement by being aware of its responsibilities, OYAK aims to convey the trust built thereby to future generations.

The circular economy available in every area of our lives and the use of resources associated with this have brought the necessity of changing the production and consumption habits and the importance of proper waste management into the center of our lives. Sustainable and efficient management of global resources is only possible by using less raw materials, increasing the resource efficiency, reducing the waste generation and recycling the wastes. In addition to all these, resource efficiency not only reduces the operational costs, but also creates a reliable and safe working environment.

Launched on July 26, 2019 at the OYAK Headquarters as the first project of OYAK ecosystem approach, the Zero Waste Project aims at creating a cultural exchange on preventing wastes and resource productivity. In addition to this, it is planned to contribute to the circular economy and resource efficiency primarily by preventing waste generation and subsequently correct waste management practices.
