Üçgen Alüminyum Sustainability Policy

Introduction:

At Üçgen Alüminyum, with over 18 years of experience in the industry, we have adopted environmental, social, and economic sustainability as a core principle in our production and business processes. In alignment with the European Green Deal, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and sustainable development goals, we are committed to using our resources more efficiently, minimizing our environmental impact, and growing through a business model that contributes to society.

Our sustainability policy covers key areas such as energy efficiency, carbon footprint management, waste management, supply chain sustainability, employee rights, and relationships with local communities. This policy serves as a guide for both our current operations and future growth strategies.
