Support for Sustainable Development

The Doğuş Group’s deep sense of social responsibility as a corporate approach is in alignment with the 10 key principles of the United Nations that may be summed up under four main headings; human rights, working conditions, the protection of nature and prevention of deterioration.

The UN Global Compact, which is based on the vision of a “sustainable and comprehensive global economy” and a sincere will to comply, began its journey with a call from the former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, to work towards the “Millennium Development Targets” during the 1999 World Economic Forum in Davos. Following the Forum, the 10 principles of the initiative were derived and since then, increasing number of companies has been joining the initiative worldwide as a confirmation of their commitment to integrate these principles in their working strategies, operations and corporate cultures.

The UN Global Compact to date has been signed by over 100 institutions in Turkey and over 5,000 institutions worldwide. By joining this list of companies, the Doğuş Group has emphasized the importance it places on sustainable development.

The Doğuş Group has conveyed its Corporate Risk Management approach in support of “sustainable profitability and regional risk management-oriented development” and “a management style conducive to maximizing value added for its investors and shareholders”.
