Ülker becomes the only Turkish food company to be included in the S&P Global ESG 2021 Index, where the sustainability performances of companies from all over the world are evaluated.
Ülker, Turkey's leading food company, continues to increase its score also this year in the ESG 2021 Index (Environmental, Social & Governance) which is conducted by the international assessment organization S&P Global and in which more than 1000 companies are evaluated worldwide.
Ülker, which has made a name for itself with the sustainability projects it has achieved in recent years, has managed to rank in the top three among 37 companies in the index from different sectors from Turkey. In the food sector, it became the only Turkish food company that made the list. Among the 115 food companies around the world that took part in the study, Ülker managed to enter the top 6 percent with the score it received.
Ülker CEO Mete Buyurgan said that their successful performance in sustainability projects was once again proven with the progress in the S&P Global ESG Index 2021. “The principle of being a 'wasteless company' is at the center of all our activities at Ülker. We have become the only food company in Turkey to be evaluated in the S&P Global ESG Index by steadily increasing our score each year. The recognition of our achievements in sustainability on international platforms further increases our motivation in this regard. 2021 has been a year where the steps we have taken in this direction have gone over with a bang. In the upcoming period, we will continue to lead the food industry with our sustainability project,” Buyurgan added.
