Ekol Logistics Corporate Marketing and Communications Director Arzu Tan expressed the company’s desire to make its mark by adding value to the environment and society.
We have revamped our corporate social responsibility policy based on the theme of contributing to society’s future at Ekol. Accordingly, we started an initiative to celebrate Ekol Volunteers Day on December 5 by drawing inspiration from the U.N.’s International Volunteer Day. Through these efforts, we encouraged all our employees to team up with their departments, facilities, or country headquarters to carry out volunteer projects based on the needs of their country or local region. We aspired to touch every single part of the world with one Ekol spirit. We passionately maintain our efforts to create a sustainable initiative out of the ‘Ekol Volunteers’ projects, which we carried out for the first time this year. And, we are determined to keep celebrating Ekol Volunteers Day on December 5 each year,
she said.
