This achievement of our annual report for which we try to do our best every year is a proof of the efforts and endeavors of our employees for a whole year. As a company that supports such an important project, we aimed to prepare this year’s annual report by consuming fewer resources, particularly paper. We prepared a kit of recycled papers and added unmeltable ice particles in the kit. We also enabled people to reach our annual report on digital platform with the QR Code technology embedded in our kit.”
