Our group aims to contribute to social development and the protection of nature by transforming the corporate social responsibility understanding into a corporate culture.

As Derlüks Group, we open a separate window to young people, disabled people and animals in our understanding of corporate social responsibility. It is important to raise young generations as healthy, educated and cultured in order to contribute to the development of our country and social welfare. In this context; we support social projects to ensure the health, education and cultural development of young people. We continue our efforts to support their education for disabled people, to ensure their active participation in social life and to improve their living conditions. Another point we attach importance to in our corporate social responsibility understanding is to protect animals and to ensure their comfortable living. We see full compliance with laws and regulations enacted for this purpose as an indispensable part of sustainable corporate social responsibility understanding. Feeding, sheltering and meeting other needs of stray and needy animals are among our priorities.
