OMSAN Logistics, OYAK Maritime and Port Yarımca Join Forces to Plant Saplings for a Greener Future

OYAK Logistics companies, operating in line with OYAK’s sustainability and environmental vision, carried out a meaningful event on World Environment Day. Employees from OMSAN Logistics, OYAK Maritime and Port Operations, and Port Yarımca planted saplings to strengthen environmental awareness and leave a more livable world for future generations.

As part of the event, Leyland cypress, lemon cypress, and linden saplings were planted at OMSAN Logistics’ Tuzla warehouse, leaving a green legacy for the future. World Environment Day activities were not limited to Türkiye. Simultaneously with the sapling plantings at OMSAN Logistics’ centers across Türkiye, environmental events were also organized at the company’s overseas representative offices, where saplings were planted.

OMSAN Logistics, holder of the Green Logistics Certificate, continues its pioneering work in the field of sustainable logistics with its practices that reduce environmental impact, especially in rail transportation, while OYAK Maritime and Port Yarımca also place environmental responsibility at the heart of their operations.
“Every Sapling is a Promise to the Future”

Speaking at the event, Gökçe Demirbaş, OMSAN Logistics Human Resources and Culture Director, stated that environmental awareness is an integral part of the corporate culture and said the following:

“World Environment Day offers an important opportunity to remember our responsibilities towards the world we live in. As OYAK Logistics companies, we see sustainability not only as a core value of our business processes but also of our corporate culture.
Protecting the environment is often associated with large projects. However, sometimes seemingly small steps carry great meaning. At this point, I remember the inspiring story of the starfish. The child who rescued one of the thousands of starfish on the beach said it all: ‘It made a big difference for that one.

Each of the Leyland Cypress, Lemon Cypress, and Linden saplings we planted today carries the same meaning for us. Perhaps a single sapling won’t change the world. But each sapling means cleaner air, a stronger ecosystem, and a more livable future.”

This work, which we have carried out by uniting around the same goal from our centers in Turkiye, to our representative offices abroad, is a strong demonstration of the value we place on the environment and our sense of shared responsibility. We see every sapling we entrust to the soil as a promise made to future generations.”

Environmental Awareness Transcends Borders
Simultaneous tree planting events held at OMSAN Logistics’ facilities across Türkiye and its overseas representative offices demonstrated the company’s globally committed approach to environmental awareness.
The World Environment Day event, organized by OYAK Logistics companies, was considered an important step in spreading environmental consciousness, increasing employee awareness, and contributing to sustainable future goals.
