Our ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certificate attests to Borusan Lojistik’s emphasis on restricting environmental impact. Gemlik Port is one of the earliest ports in Turkey to establish and run a licenced discharge reception facility. Put into operation in March 2, 2006, our Discharge Reception Facility keeps solid, liquid and hazardous waste of visiting ships under control, and treats the discharge when necessary. In this way, we are doing our part to help protect our seas and contribute to Turkey’s compliance with international obligations.
We have also taken the extra step of converting port cranes to electric power so as to curb air and noise pollution.
The waste products of our work processes are sorted and sent to recycling facilities. Non-recyclable toxic waste is disposed of in the appropriate manner specified by regulations. We have also established a temporary waste storage area in our Gebze warehouse to make sure hazardous chemicals in batteries are prevented from poisoning the natural environment. And we have carefully chosen non-CFC using air conditioners for our new Headquarters.
We are careful to involve our employees and families in Borusan Lojistik’s quest for environmental protection. The environmental brochure we published to be distributed to our staff and their families, "Recycle and Reuse for a Better Quality of Life", included coloring pages meant to attract the attention of even the youngest children.
