What we have done so far?

February 15th Childhood Cancer Day #noticetheyellow

The Gonulden Isler Team aims to increase individual consciousness and raise awareness for social responsibility. For this reason the operation joined in the #noticetheyellow event organized by KAÇUV (The Hope Foundation for Children with Cancer) on February 15, which marks International Childhood Cancer Awareness Day. We have a long history of collaborating and supporting numerous KACUV awareness campaigns. On that day, our colleagues wore a golden ribbon in solidarity and shared photos of them wearing the ribbons on social media to raise more awareness for the global cause.

We Are Supporting The Social Office Project!

While environmental pollution is rapidly increasing in our world, the smallest individual measures we take in daily life are becoming even more important. As Maxion Inci Wheel Group, we continue our efforts for a sustainable environment. With this point of view, we invited our employees to recycle their electronics waste through The Social Office Project. By this way, employees would be able to support TEMA (Turkish Foundation for Combating Soil Erosion)and Tohum Autism Foundation with the income obtained by re-evaluating the wastes and contribute to a sustainable world with zero waste awareness. With the collected electronic waste, we, as Maxion İnci Wheel Group, donated 128 saplings to TEMA.
