LAV Published Its First Sustainability Report

15 Sep 2021

LAV shapes its activities with the "Journey with Glass" sustainability strategy, which it created to develop processes that respect the environment and people. This strategy, which is internalized with the idea that glass is 100 percent recyclable, does not harm the environment due to its very low degradation rate, and will contribute to sustainability as glass becomes more prevalent in our lives, aims to include glass more in the journey of life. In addition, LAV does not limit the issue of sustainability only to its operations. By adopting a sustainability approach throughout the supply chain, it regularly monitors the environmental, social and economic performances of its suppliers.

LAV takes sustainability seriously!

Believing in the power of common mind and action for sustainable development, LAV supports many local and global initiatives and takes an active role in solving problems. Business Plastics Initiative (IPG), Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), Supplier Ethics Data Exchange Program SEDEX, UN Women's Empowerment Principles (UN WEPs) are just a few of them.

The “Journey with Glass” sustainability strategy defines the sustainability priorities that LAV will focus on in the 2020-2025 period. At the same time, the LAV Sustainability Scorecard was created for the company to measure and improve its own sustainability performance.

Contributing to 7 different UN Sustainable Development Goals in line with the strategy created under 3 main headings, LAV does not hesitate to take responsibility for future generations. LAV focuses on combating climate change, resource efficiency and circular economy and gender equality under the title "A Good World"; Under the title of "Good Products", it aims to achieve sustainable growth in environmentally friendly products and food protection, brand awareness and response to consumer expectations, product safety and R&D and innovation. Focusing on issues such as emergency preparedness and business continuity, business ethics, digitalization and industry 4.0, occupational health and safety, sustainability in the supply chain, and being a preferred employer under the title of "A Good Company", LAV contributes to society, environment and people by taking sustainability issues seriously.

“We will continue to work for a beautiful tomorrow”

LAV General Manager Tuğrul Baran, who said that he was very happy to publish the company's first sustainability report, said the following about LAV's sustainability approach and report: "Our company, which operates in the field of table glass under the roof of Gürok Group, which has been providing added value to the Turkish economy for more than half a century, is taking firm steps towards becoming a world brand.

"We will continue to work and produce for a better tomorrow by fulfilling our responsibility in every issue that touches the environment, people and society.
