voluntary contribution by companies to create a better
society and future, and the Company maintains this
principle with the support of all their stakeholders. The

Airports acts with awareness to use the world’s limited
sources very carefully, to not cause environmental
harm, and improve the natural environment wherever
possible. The responsibilities assumed by the Company
and commitments undertaken regarding “sustainable
development” constitute the social responsibility
approach utilized by TAV Airports.
Through Social Responsibility projects led by the TAV
Airports Holding Corporate Communications Coordinator,
TAV Airports extends its best efforts every year to
meet its responsibility by overcoming vital problems in
domestic social development in areas such as education.

world- TAV Airports Holding contributes to the Education
Reform Initiative.
Through this contribution, made as part of the
Company’s Corporate Social Responsibility program,
the much needed reforms in Turkey’s education system
will be designed within a framework of broad horizons,
taking into account the experiences of the past and
formulating a vision for the future. Accordingly, the
Company is primarily supporting the Education Reform
Initiative’s strategy of creating a participatory and
creative idea generation process that brings together
bureaucracy, universities, schools and non-governmental
organizations to serve as a catalyst for education reform
policies. In the long term, the Education Reform Initiative
aims to transform this idea generation process into a
reform oversight center that will inform all stakeholders
about the field of education.
