Continuing its commitment to aligning with the European Green Deal, one of the most decisive factors in global competition today, Akdeniz Chemson has become the first company accepted into the Responsible® program launched by the Ministry of Trade. Following discussions with the consultant firm appointed by the Ministry, Akdeniz Chemson has begun preparing its ‘Current Situation Analysis and Sustainability Roadmap’.
As one of the world's leading polymer additive manufacturers, Akdeniz Chemson continues to take pioneering steps in “sustainability”, in line with OYAK's vision and goals. The company has entered a new phase in its sustainability journey by becoming the first to be accepted into the Green Deal Compliance Project Support – Responsible® program, initiated by the Ministry of Trade in June 2024.
First meeting held for the roadmap
As part of the Green Deal Compliance Project Support - Responsible® program, Akdeniz Chemson met with the consultant firm appointed by the Ministry of Trade to begin preparations for the ‘Current Situation Analysis and Sustainability Roadmap’. Being the first company in Türkiye to be accepted into the program, Akdeniz Chemson hosted a two-day on-site visit by Ebru Gülsoy Head of the Department of Branding and Design Supports at the Ministry of Trade, along with Rojas Atencio and a six-member delegation to review the progress of its activities.
With the sustainability roadmap it will develop under the Green Deal Compliance Project Support - Responsible® program, Akdeniz Chemson aims to define key projects that will contribute to its corporate development and sustainability journey. After a month-long study, the Green Deal Compliance Roadmap and corresponding project cards will be submitted to the Ministry of Trade. Following the Ministry’s evaluation, if deemed suitable, Akdeniz Chemson’s projects will be eligible for incentives provided by the Ministry.
Consultancy support and the right to use the Responsible® brand label
The consultancy support program, introduced by the Ministry of Trade to facilitate compliance with the EU Green Deal, came into effect on 26 June 2024. Within the program, companies that meet a certain level of sustainability criteria will not only receive consultancy support but will also earn the right to use the Responsible® brand label. Responsible®, a brand developed by the Ministry of Trade, aims to raise awareness of sustainability among both consumers and producers. It signifies that participating companies have achieved a recognized level of capacity and maturity based on sustainability parameters.
