We see diversity and inclusion as essential for our success. We believe that “inclusiveness and cultural differences are wealth for us,” with the expression we embody within the framework of our global values. On the other hand, we know very well that for human development and value-creating growth, it is absolutely necessary to build a participatory and egalitarian society.

In Yıldız Holding and in all our companies, we have established Yıldız Holding Women's Platform (YHWP) in order to make this inclusive culture permanent and we have started studies focusing on women's participation in the workforce within equal opportunity.

With inclusive strategies and practices based on equal opportunities, we aim for our company to operate more efficiently with a more innovative perspective and to encourage social transformation as an example to the entire business world.

Begüm Mutuş

As a company that values participation, equality and pluralism in all our business processes since its establishment, we coordinate our eorts through the YHWP which we established in March 2021, to ensure equal opportunity in the business world. We have prepared the Yıldız Holding Equal Opportunity Manifesto to guide these values and we aim to implement the commitments we shared in the manifesto through YHWP. Our aim is to put forward activities focused on our principles and to set an example for the business world with these activities.

It is very important for us to accurately shareour activities that we have implemented with the lens of social equal opportunity and spread it to the masses.

Throughout the year, we carried out works that contribute to the construction of an egalitarian, pluralistic and inclusive social order. We also aim to undertake important works for the coming period.
