“Here at Tekfen we have been mindful of and diligent about the sustainability-related issues of ethical behaviour, employee welfare, social wellbeing, and environmental health ever since the company’s very first day of life.”

Since the very first days of its operations, Tekfen has acted with diligence and care in areas that today fall under the heading of sustainability, including ethical conduct, employee rights, social well-being, and respect for the environment. Guided by a strong sense of responsibility rooted in its history, Tekfen aims to contribute to a brighter, more prosperous, and more sustainable future. Tekfen’s vision of Bridging Prosperity represents the clearest expression of this responsibility. Adopted as the guiding framework of the Group’s sustainability approach, the Bridging Prosperity vision reflects a holistic understanding that takes into account the impact of today’s decisions on future generations. This approach places people, the environment, and social benefit at the core of Tekfen’s way of doing business.

 
Engineering and Contracting Group

Through projects that facilitate access to essential services such as energy infrastructure, water management, transportation, and living spaces, the Engineering and Contracting Group generates social benefit. These projects are regarded not merely as technical investments, but as structures that improve living conditions and contribute to sustainable development, in line with Tekfen’s Bridging Prosperity vision.

 
Agri-Industry Group

The Agri-Industry Group focuses on improving the quality of agricultural inputs, ensuring traceability in production, and operating in line with the Principles of Sustainable Agriculture. This approach supports an agricultural system that jointly considers environmental responsibility and social benefit, strengthens access to safe and reliable food, and promotes the efficient use of natural resources—key components of Bridging Prosperity.

 
Investment Group

Within the Investment Group, Tekfen Renewable Energy contributes to the Bridging Prosperity vision by leading the energy transition. Through renewable energy portfolio investments and green ammonia production, Tekfen supports the transition to a low-carbon economy, while aiming to reduce environmental impacts and create long-term value.

Corporate Value and Net Zero Goals Targets

Across Tekfen, the corporate culture is shaped by a commitment to ethical principles, respect for human rights, environmental protection, occupational health and safety (OHS), and social responsibility. Sustainability workshops, awareness-raising initiatives, and social responsibility projects developed through the Shared Value Creation (CSV) approach aim to embed this culture among employees and stakeholders.

Positioning sustainability at the core of its long-term strategy, Tekfen integrates environmental and social responsibilities into its corporate decision-making processes. The company aims to become carbon neutral by 2030 and net zero by 2045, implementing a comprehensive transformation strategy that covers all Group companies. This strategy is built on strengthening intra-group collaboration, enhancing operational resilience through efficient resource use, and fostering partnerships that support sustainable growth in line with the Bridging Prosperity vision.

Social Contribution and Global Perspective

Integrating its long-standing principle of “do the job you know best” with the belief that “the future belongs to those who build it,” Tekfen carries more than 70 years of experience into the future through a business culture centred on people, the environment, and social benefit. Through the Tekfen Foundation, the Group provides educational scholarships and supports arts and culture initiatives that enrich social life.

By prioritising global dynamics such as climate change, demographic transformation, urbanisation, and digitalisation, Tekfen aligns its operations with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, shaping its business model around the creation of shared value under its Bridging Prosperity vision.

Why “Bridging Prosperity?”

Tekfen marks an important milestone in the Turkish economy thanks to the values as well as employment opportunities that we have created over the past 60 years. We have been acting in pursuit of excellence in all of our activity areas since day one. Our principle: ‘Do the job you know the best’. Standing by to our ‘The future belongs those who build it’ motto, we have formed our business culture around people, social benefit, and environment, while continuing to focus on a sustainable future.

Our core business line alongside contracting and agriculture projects constitute how we ‘bridge prosperity’. Tekfen Contracting helps countries develop through infrastructure projects such as highways and pipelines, industrial plants such as refineries and terminals, and superstructure projects, not the least of which include stadiums and high-rise buildings. We oversee plants and projects that serve needs of society and that raise their living standards. Within the scope of our real estate operations, our construction projects offer tens of thousands of people residential and business spaces that are safe, comfortable, and environmentally friendly.

We offer high quality input to farmers through disease-free seeds, seedlings, and saplings—the core of quality agricultural production—so that you can adorn your dining table with fresh fruits and vegetables. At the same time, we also ensure that farmers benefit from our prolific nutrient production, which places top priority on food safety.

Tekfen Foundation offers scholarships to successful students so as to give them brighter future. Likewise, we enrich social life through arts and culture initiatives. We work hard to lay down a foundation for a sunnier, more prosperous and sustainable future through our operations, practices, priorities, and goals.

The core priority of all of our operations is human life. Thus, we strive to minimise our environmental impact. We continuously do research so that we can better use our resources efficiently; likewise, we continuously strive to better ourselves and make as many investments as possible. We keep close tabs on mega trends in the climate change, population increase, demographic and social transformation, urbanisation, and technology, granted that they are what drive our ever-changing world. In addition to integrating digital transformation and innovation into our business, we also allocate resources towards technological initiatives that feed our operations. We are proud to be a role model to our sector thanks to our occupational health and safety practices and performance.

We root in serving the welfare and development of society. We are responsible for laying down the foundation towards a future that is sustainable. Our vision of bridging prosperity—the driving force behind our journey down the road of sustainability —is the simplest we can express this responsibility!

“In other words we strive to be an essential part of the foundation of a sustainable and prosperous future. That foundation must be strong so that whatever is built upon it can be strong too. And that is the best possible summing-up of the mission that Tekfen has given itself as it advances on its “Bridging Prosperity” and sustainibility journey.”
