ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY ACTIVITIES

As Kilit Group, we participated in RUNTALYA race with our corporate employees in order to support thousands of children in need who do not have a book, with the campaign titled ’A Reading Future’, initiated under the leadership of AÇEV Foundation.  With the donations we collected through the run for goodness platform, we raised to the 1st place by collecting the most donations in Antalya. We provided support to approximately 2050 children through AÇEV.

With a special event dedicated to the World Animal Protection Day, we included an interview on animal rights, animal health and care. We have become a temporary home in the process of going to their new homes for 34 dogs removed from Manavgat Shelter in Manavgat fire. Olympos Veterinary Clinic carried out all healthcare services free of charge.

It was ensured that the scorecards of our cats in our hotel were removed, sterilized, chipped, and rabies vaccinations and internal and external parasite treatments were made.

Our kittens are cared for in our Pet hotel and new nests are also being sought. Many of our kittens and dogs have been adopted. Our large breed dog Pluto, who has had an accident and has been treated, is in our care.

Thanks to the event held on 4 October Animal Protection Day, we supported our friend who fed with the foods taken.

In our facilities, environmental activities are organized for small nature volunteer children in children's clubs. Within the scope of these activities, activities such as making a green world with spilled leaves, activities with sea shells, getting to know nature with camping activity, getting to know natural products, using recyclable materials, protecting and raising awareness of nature are organized.
