Providing a happy and productive work environment for our employees is very important to us. We are committed not only to fostering employee satisfaction and productivity but also to embracing the principles of diversity and inclusion. We work to meet the needs of all our employees with a focus on collective intelligence and transparency. At Borusan Port, this people-centered approach has integrated social capital and a culture of solidarity into our core business practices. This culture is supported by Borusan Port’s sustainability and social contribution projects.
Occupational Health and Safety Simulation Center
Our training center was established in 2017 to raise awareness of occupational health and safety, hazards and risks in our port. It was constructed from 2-storey containers with dimensions of 6mx10m.Our OHS approach focuses on creating a happy, safe, and healthy work environment for all colleagues, customers, suppliers, and relevant parties. We ensure safe and suitable working conditions to prevent health issues, strive for the “zero work accident” ideal through employee consultation and participation, and protect our environment by preventing pollution and promoting improvements.
Borusan Port SafeCard
As part of our accident prevention policy for Occupational Health and Safety, the "Borusan Port SafeCard" Project was implemented. This project provides location and status tracking for personnel, permanent suppliers and equipment working in the port area. The Warning System aims to create safe work areas, increase the culture of occupational safety, prevent machine-human and machine-machine interactions, keep unauthorized people away from dangerous areas by limited area applications, ensure that machines are operated only by authorized people, and prevent work accidents by obeying to speed limits.
We are Strong Together
In response to feedback regarding the discomfort experienced by female field workers in the use of rest areas, the company committee has launched the "Stronger Together!" project. Every two months, female and male employees come together in the rest areas located in the operational field to discuss gender equality in the workplace and share information. The General Manager also participates in these meetings, allowing employees at all levels to present their improvement suggestions directly to management.
Borusan Port Mentorship Program
Borusan Port, under the protocol signed with Atatepe Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in Gemlik, provides mentorship opportunities for 10th-grade students in the logistics department and internship opportunities for 11th-grade students, aiming to increase the number of female employees in the port sector. The mentorship program includes vocational training related to the port sector, and technical material support is also provided for the logistics laboratory as part of the relevant protocol.
Equal Tales
As Borusan Port, we have introduced the "Equal Tales" book series, which reinterprets gender equality, nature and environmental awareness, to children in Samandağ, Hatay. We believe that by reading these stories, our children will expand their imaginations "with equality."
