Sustainability for Turkven

The private equity industry has an important responsibility to promote higher standards in environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices across countries and sectors. At Turkven, we have integrated careful due diligence and responsible management of ESG issues in our key investment and portfolio monitoring processes.We are committed to helping our investment funds make responsible investments and influence corporate behaviour to achieve improved ESG performance. We believe that best practice ESG management not only mitigates risk and enables sustainability, but also enhances the long-term value of our businesses.

Promoting Women

One of the most significant driving forces of economic and social development for countries is the size and quality of human capital. 

We believe that increasing the participation of women in the workforce is a critical step in a country’s development and prosperity.

In Turkey, thanks to the steps taken to increase participation of women in workforce, the employment rate of women has risen to 34% in 2017 up from 24% in 2007.

We support the increasing workforce participation of women across our portfolio companies:
  • Of the 55,000 employees in our portfolio, 46% are women.
  • Of all the CXO’s (CEO direct-reports), 24% are women.
  • Of all the directors at the boards of our portfolio companies, 13% are women.
