DOÇEV – NATURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATION

Abalıoğlu Holding, in line with its commitment to social and community responsibility, has led the establishment of DOÇEV-Doğa ve Çevre Vakfı with the vision of protecting and enhancing the natural balance and environmental values for future generations. Founded in 1996, DOÇEV engages in reforestation, waste management, and environmental education activities, developing implementation projects in these areas. In this context:

  • With the slogan "Create Your Own Forest," it enables environmentally conscious individuals and institutions to establish memorial forests on behalf of those they wish.
  • It has created parks and groves, contributing to the afforestation of various public areas such as schools, hospitals, small industrial sites, cemeteries, and dam shores.
  • By the end of 2024, approximately 588,000 saplings planted with its support have grown into trees, helping reduce the effects of erosion and greening the nature of Denizli.
  • To support the breeding and sheltering of birds, it hangs birdhouses in wooded areas. It also provides food for wildlife in their natural habitats during harsh winter conditions.
  • With the slogan "Give Your Paper, Have a Tree," it has collected approximately 5,564 tons of waste paper, establishing the "DOÇEV - Waste Paper Forest" with the gains obtained.
  • With the slogan "Don't Let the World Run Out of Batteries," it contributes to the collection of used batteries nationwide, ensuring the disposal of 46.5 tons of waste batteries by the end of 2024.
  • By establishing an "Electronic Waste Collection Line," it has ensured the recycling of approximately 99.4 tons of electronic waste by the end of 2024.
  • It organizes environmental education in schools, contributing to the rise of environmental awareness in society through its publications and environmental presentations.
  • With the approach "Every Drop is Precious," it emphasizes the importance of our water and wetlands, contributing to public awareness and information dissemination through materials like brochures, posters, and films.
  • To expand its activities, it implements its developed environmental projects with the support of national and international environmental funds.

DOÇEV gratefully welcomes any support in the name of nature and the environment, aiming to sustain this enthusiasm with the strength it derives from society for generations.
