For a better world
As BEST, we consider the concept of sustainability as the cornerstone of our business processes.
Environmental Awareness
We aim to improve the quality of life of our society, fulfill our responsibilities towards our employees and their families, local people and other stakeholders, with our understanding of using resources efficiently, proactive understanding to detect risks in advance, and our business understanding that we develop within the framework of respect for the world, environment and people.
Human and Society
R&D studies on environmentally sensitive technologies and renewable energy investments we made to meet the energy needs of our factory stand out as a good example of BEST's reflection of sustainability philosophy on its business strategies.
Job Responsibility

In addition to being sensitive to environmental and social projects, we both support social responsibility projects in Balıkesir and its surroundings and we are a part of Turkish Education Foundation projects in which our Chairman of the Board of Directors Rona Yırcalı actively takes part.
