BELL GROUP OF COMPANIES 75th YEAR MEMORIAL FOREST
A the Bell Group of Companies, we are well aware of the necessity of protecting nature and natural resources when developing and producing innovative packaging solutions as well as during all our other operations. Therefore, in our 75th Year of Establishment, we are truly happy to take another crucial step towards reducing our carbon footprint, thereby adhering to our fundamental principles.
With the aim of supporting the efforts of reforestation and fight against erosion in Turkey, we have initiated a joint project with the Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs, General Directorate of Forestry, which foresees the planting of 7,500 saplings in total. Within the framework of this project, we have volunteered to reforest the damaged forest land of 4.5 hectares in Çatalca district, Durusu Forest Sub-district Directorate, Örencik village. In our project site, after planting Maritime Pine saplings, we will also carry out maintenance and planting work for the following 3 years under the control of an expert staff in the Forest Sub-district Directorate.
As a group of companies, which acts in the awareness that protecting and expanding forest lands have crucial importance for the next generations, we would like to particularly thank the directors of İstanbul Regional Directorate of Forestry for their support for such an important project in our 75th Year of Establishment as well as all employees of the Forest Sub-district Directorate for their help and work.
