Our Sustainability Approach

A Transformation That Nourishes the Future

A Transformation That Nourishes the Future

As Kılıç Seafood, we see sustainability not as an obligation, but as our reason for existence. We have adopted as a fundamental principle to give back to nature, people, and the future every value we take from the sea. While protecting today’s resources, we work to leave a bluer world to the generations of tomorrow.

Production in Harmony with Nature

The continuity of the abundance coming from the sea is possible through respect for nature. For this reason, we place the environment at the center of all our processes. In our farming facilities, we use continuous monitoring and measurement systems to protect seawater quality.

  • In order to reduce energy consumption, increase the use of renewable resources, and decrease our carbon footprint, we are expanding our investments in Solar Energy Systems (SES).
  • These projects implemented at our Bodrum and Akarca facilities serve as examples not only for energy savings but also for our carbon-neutral production goals.
  • In addition, our EPS recycling practice and water recovery systems are among the good examples where sustainability is put into practice in waste management and resource efficiency.
  • In this way, while reducing our impact on nature, we protect the balance of the marine ecosystem.

Social Welfare and Inclusiveness

At the heart of sustainability lies people. At Kılıç Seafood, we measure success not only by production capacity, but by the contribution we make to human development.

  • We create work environments that prioritize the safety and well-being of our employees, and we support personal and professional development through training programs.
  • Through our “Kılıç Empowers Women” program, we increase the presence of women employees and managers in business life and build an inclusive culture based on the principle of equal opportunity.
  • The continuous training projects we implement under the “Kılıç Academy” umbrella ensure both the integration of young talents into the sector and the specialization of our employees.
  • Social awareness campaigns aimed at increasing fish consumption and regional education support carried out with local communities are part of our understanding of social sustainability. For us, sustainability means enriching not only the seas, but also human life.

A Culture of Transparency, Ethics, and Responsibility

At Kılıç Seafood, sustainability is not only a goal; it is an integral part of our governance culture. We take all our strategic decisions in line with ethical values, the principle of transparency, and a long-term sense of responsibility.

  • Strong female representation and independent members on our board of directors reflect the importance we attach to diversity and fair governance.
  • Open communication mechanisms carried out through the Ethics Line and Transparent Reporting Platform place a culture of trust at the foundation of our corporate structure.
  • This approach is the guarantee of a corporate structure that will inspire confidence not only today, but also for future generations.

For a Bluer Future

As Kılıç Seafood, we leave the mark of a bluer world in every fish we raise, every innovation we make, and every social step we take.
