One Sapling for One Coil Project from

Borçelik

For each coil produced at Borçelik, a sapling is grown. These saplings
are grown in a facility built on a 2 thousand square meters site within
the factory premises.

We intend to create forest areas by growing 200 thousand saplings
each year for 5 years with a budget of TRY 100 thousand and 1 million
trees in total. The grown saplings are gifted to schools, universities,
public institutions, municipalities, clients and factory employees for
planting. The saplings not distributed during the year are donated to
Regional Directorate of Forestry with the provision to plant.

In 2017, we granted a total of 28,435 saplings where 27,300 were given
to Mardin Kızıltepe Mezopotamya Anadolu High School.
