We Defend Production

and Effort

As ASELSAN, we continued our activities with the awareness of the responsibility we have assumed for our country, despite the challenging conditions. We accelerated our uptrend with R&D oriented activities. We are a significant factor/enabler for the ever-growing supplier ecosystem with our business volume. In 2021, we continued to financially support our suppliers, that is, the economy of our country, under

the roof of the cooperation we established. We opened new tracks for our growth with new expansions in the fields of healthcare and financial technologies.

We Defend

Natural Resources

We have been continuing our fight against climate change, the effects of which are observed more tangibly. We have been conducting important activities and projects on carbon emission since 2009. As the first defense industry company in Turkey to participate in the CDP survey, we have added new achievements to the gains we have made with our successful climate change management over the years. While we received A- scores in CDP Water and CDP Climate Change Supply Chain Management, we became a Green World Ambassador by adding a new one to our environmental titles. We continue to take important steps towards waste management, energy efficiency, and protecting and defending resources.
