Our journey, which began in 1950, continues to expand with brand-new projects and developments each day. As Penti Çorap, we are the largest fully integrated hosiery manufacturer in Europe, exporting to over 60 countries without compromising our quality, innovative products and budget-friendly price policy. Our focus is to provide sustainable, innovative, quality, and popular products.
Although sustainability is a complex and sometimes challenging process from an operational point of view, as Penti Çorap, we are proud of our actions that provide economic, social and environmental gains.
In this context, our primary objective is to create productions that care about the people, the environment, and the world.
Within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals, which were published by the United Nations Development Program in 2015 and outline the solution to the world’s common problems, we transferred 9% of our revenue to sustainability investments in order to create “common benefit” and support these goals.
Since our foundation, as Penti Çorap, we have endeavored to create products that make the lives of women and girls all over the world easier and improve their quality of life. We focus on the fact that our products are of high quality, inclusive of all segments of society, and accessible to all within the confines of the economic and sales space.
The annual capacity for production of 100 million pairs of hosiery indicates that our economic, environmental, and social responsibilities have also increased.
We are proud to announce that our carbon emissions have decreased by 5% compared to the previous year.
The audit score on the Higg Index platform developed by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition of our factory is above the global, European and Turkish averages.
We continue our efforts to increase technological transformation, particularly in the renewable energy technologies, as well as to boost energy efficiency and integrate these strategies into all of our operations.
We carry out our R&D studies with the approach of “Responsible Production” principles. In every market we operate, we base our investments on a commitment to fostering a healthy and prosperous local community; at a 57% rate, we work with local suppliers.
In addition to bolstering our vendors’ financial standing, we also train them in accordance with Penti vision for ethical codes, human rights, children’s rights, equitable wages, and safe working conditions are just some of the areas in which we are continuing to develop an ecosystem that benefits both the people and the planet.
As Penti Çorap, we were elected as the “Best Employer” for the second time consecutively in the Great Place to Work, where the Best Employers are elected worldwide, we work to support the welfare and sustainable development of our country with our employees.
We believe that sustainable development can be achieved by ensuring and maintaining economic stability, particularly by protecting the environment and preserving biodiversity, by promoting innovative and long-lasting infrastructures, and by bolstering societies through egalitarian and inclusive approaches.
As a significant stakeholder contributing to the economic, environmental, and social development of our nation, we continue to work and produce with our entire value chain and the ecosystems we have created, with the awareness of our responsibilities.
