“We are aware of our environmental and social responsibility”

Stating that they mobilized all their resources in line with the sandwich roof and facade panel demands of prefabricated building and container house manufacturers for the construction of container cities as part of the project carried out under the coordination of the Ministry of Commerce and AFAD due to the earthquake disaster in February, Kahveci said, “We made non-stop production every day to supply polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulated sandwich roof and facade panels of 2.8 million square meter for the construction of 43 thousand container houses as the first phase of the project.

With the same sense of responsibility, Kahveci underlined that energy efficiency and savings have become even more important with the climate crisis and said, “We reduce our carbon footprint with the measures and improvements we take in our production processes. Thanks to the solar panels on the roof of our production facility in Mersin, we produce approximately 2,400 megawatts of electricity from our installed capacity of 1.6 megawatts on an annual basis. We recently completed the solar power projects in our Sakarya and Izmir manufacturing facilities and increased our installed capacity to 3.6 megawatts. With the aim of sustainability and creating a more livable environment , we continue to pursue our green transformation projects sensibly by paying attention to our R&D and innovation studies for our processes and products.”
