Duru Gıda Continues to Take Steps for the World of the Future

During Turkey's Environment Week, which will feature awareness events this year under the theme "We All Have One World," Duru Gıda drew attention to the fact that signals of a food crisis are increasingly strong due to environmental pollution, climate change, water crisis, deforestation, excessive increase in the human population, and human activities that harm the environment.

Duru Gıda Protects the Future by Increasing Clean Energy Investments

Recalling the UN Food Waste Index 2024 Report, Duru Gıda Chairman Emin Duru said, “While 783 million people are struggling with hunger, 3/1 of the world is experiencing food insecurity. In 2022, more than 1 billion meals were wasted a day worldwide. Data shows that food waste accounts for approximately 10 percent of annual greenhouse gas emissions, approximately 5 times that of the aviation industry. Experts emphasize that the lifestyle we have is not sustainable. Every individual needs to review this carefully. As Duru Gıda, we continue our activities by taking on the responsibilities of a nature-friendly and sustainable environment. We are trying to gradually reduce our carbon footprint by increasing our clean energy investments. We increased our solar energy infrastructure to 3 megawatts by increasing the capacity of solar energy investments worth 5,8 million euros. Thus, by providing 85 percent of our electricity consumption from solar panels, we will prevent 3 thousand 270 tons of carbon emissions annually and prevent the cutting down of approximately 54 thousand trees.” said.

Exemplary Behavior from Duru Gıda on World Environment Day 

Duru Gıda took a meaningful step on June 5, World Environment Day. Duru Gıda, participating in awareness activities by donating to TEMA Foundation on behalf of each of its employees, once again showed its sensitivity towards environmental awareness.

In addition, afforestation activities were carried out around the factory in Karaman. This initiative demonstrates the company's commitment to the environment and its goal of contributing to a sustainable future.

Duru Gıda strives at every opportunity to bring issues such as the future of food and sustainability activities to the agenda, and sets an example for the sector with its nature-friendly activities and renewable energy investments. Duru Gıda continues its mission to leave a more livable world to the future with these steps taken in environmental and sustainability issues.
