Sustainability

As Altun Gıda A.Ş., we embrace sustainability not merely as a corporate responsibility but as a core pillar of our business strategy. At every stage of our operations, we view quality, health, and sustainability as interconnected values. From garden to table, we strictly adhere to the European Union’s quality and food safety standards, continuing to create value through a holistic management approach that considers environmental, social, and economic dimensions.

From waste management to recyclable packaging, from ethical production awareness across the supply chain to resource efficiency, sustainability is not just a goal for us—it is the essence of our corporate culture. We prioritize respect for nature in agriculture, energy efficiency in production, responsible business models in supply, and carbon footprint reduction in logistics.

Environmental Stewardship

We are, above all, farmers. Preserving the balance of nature is vital both for the continuity of our work and for ensuring that future generations can benefit from these lands.

  • We use drip irrigation systems across all our production areas to optimize water use.
  • Thanks to our solar energy investments, our facilities prioritize renewable resources—all electricity needs at Altun Gıda plants are met through solar power systems (SPP).
  • At our geothermal greenhouse in Afyonkarahisar, heating is provided by geothermal sources, while electricity is generated using solar energy. Through soilless farming, we maximize the efficient use of water and nutrients while minimizing waste.
  • Pollination is achieved naturally using bumblebees, eliminating the need for hormones or chemical pesticides.
  • In packaging processes, we use 100% recyclable materials, and we implement an effective waste management system to reduce overall waste.
  • Throughout the distribution chain, we also prioritize the environment—our dynamic route optimization helps maintain product freshness while reducing fuel consumption and lowering our carbon footprint.

Social Responsibility

The safety, development, and equal opportunity of our employees form the backbone of our system. From our workforce to local communities, we are building a culture that promotes social sustainability.

  • All our facilities operate under the principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
    We maintain strong occupational health and safety programs.
  • We prioritize training and development investments to enhance employee competencies.
  • At our geothermal greenhouse in Afyonkarahisar, where 85% of employees are women, we contribute to regional gender equality.
  • Through training programs and incentives, we promote awareness and capacity development across our supply chain.

We Focus on the Green Economy

In line with our goal of becoming a leader in sustainability, we encourage all our business partners to adopt sustainable resource use, fair labor practices, and responsible business conduct throughout the supply chain. Within this framework, we organize training programs, capacity-building initiatives, and incentive mechanisms to improve sustainability performance.

  • We implement circular economy principles, product life cycle analyses, and eco-design applications to minimize resource use and environmental impact.
  • Together with our suppliers, we focus on sustainable sourcing, fair labor standards, and responsible operations.
  • Our processes are guided by the principles of the circular economy and product life cycle management.

Our Promise to the Future

At Altun Gıda, we give back as much as we take from nature. We place our responsibility toward nature and society at the very heart of our business. With respect for the soil, people, and our work, we continue to grow and invest—strengthening the sustainability of all our activities.
