FORD_SRDE_2018

72 We organised events at our Inönü Factory with the titles of Evimizdeki Atıklar (Waste in Our House) and Su Ayak İzi (Water Footprint) as part of June 5 th , World Environment Day. We put efforts to empower disadvantaged groups with an inclusive approach. WINGS FOR LIFEWORLD RUN At Ford Turkey, we are the main sponsors of the Turkey branch of Wings for Life which has been organised in 12 countries at the same time since 2016 and has the goal to raise awareness of paraplegia. Wings for Life World Run program is a global run in which users of wheelchairs are also able to participate and it ends when the Interception Vehicle catches up with the last runner. At Ford Turkey, we positioned a Ford Kuga as the interception vehicle in 2018. We called in all professional and amateur runners, and particularly Ford Otosan and Koç Group employees who are sensitive to the subject of paraplegia, to become a part of the Ford Team. The website sennedenkosuyorsun.com we created for this occasion enabled participation to the event. Our Ford Team runner group collected a donation of approximately USD 64,000 and managed to become the 2 nd team in the world that collected the highest donation. We became the most crowded team in Turkey and the 3 rd most crowded team in the world with 943 people in the Ford Team. HAYATIN ENGELLERİNE KAPAKOLSUN (IN THE FACE OF LIFE’S OBSTACLES) We carried out a plastic cap collection project together with the Spinal Cord Paralytics Association of turkey. 275 kg caps were collected as part of the project which included all Otosan campuses, 44 suppliers, Vehbi Koç Foundation Ford Otosan Culture and Community Center and 4 different schools. We provided three people in need with wheelchairs with these plastic caps. READING CABIN We built a reading cabin in a school in Kartal, Istanbul that belongs to Beyaz Ay Derneği (White Moon Association) working for the education and rehabilitation of disabled children. Volunteers contributed in the system’s library by reading books for visually impaired people. Our company policy stipulates in recruitment processes that one of every four people among field workers and one of every two people among office workers should be women. Therefore, we put our efforts to increase the number of women employees at Ford Otosan. SOCIAL INVESTMENTS
