Local and National Coffee Brand Employs 2208 Women

Arabica Coffee House , which develops strategic projects within the scope of women's employment, also launched a special initiative to support people living in rural areas most affected by the climate crisis. As part of the "Seeds of the Century" project, women in these villages received training in seed ball production and earned income. The seed balls were distributed to designated areas via drones. This provides a solution to income inequality among groups directly affected by the climate crisis, while also making a positive contribution to nature.

As part of another initiative focusing on women, Arabica Coffee House supported the film "Escape from Darkness," a dramatic and true story about violence against women, aiming to raise awareness about the issue and increase its reach. Arabica Coffee House Co-Founder Elif Ülger Yalçın donated this support to the Mor Çatı Women's Shelter Foundation. The donation aimed to create awareness against violence against women.

We Will Continue to Produce Projects for Women's Employment and Be a Pioneer

Highlighting the importance of International Women's Day, Sertaç Yalçın, CEO of Arabica Coffee House, spoke about the steps they take each year to support women's rights, equality, and participation in the workforce : “Through the projects we have been carrying out for years, we not only ensure women's participation in the workforce but also offer them opportunities to achieve economic independence. We will continue our efforts to enable women to become stronger, more independent, and freer individuals. In collaboration with İŞKUR (Turkish Employment Agency), we have pioneered a project that allows housewives without any education or profession to acquire a profession and find employment. We provided women with 512 hours of pastry training at our food factory, enabling them to obtain vocational qualification certificates and offering them job opportunities. Arabica Coffee House has set an example in the sector by increasing its number of female employees to 560, and to date, we have provided employment opportunities to a total of 2208 women. As Arabica Coffee House, we will continue our efforts to empower women through projects that support gender equality.”
