Our Sustainability Goals

Yeşilyurt Group’s approach to sustainability is based on the principle to manufacture more products -and thereby satisfying more needs- by consuming less resources through the improvement of production efficiency and capacity with the use of technological advancements, innovations and developments.

We, as Yeşilyurt Group, are aware of the fact that the quality of life, level of welfare, economic competitiveness, employment and sustainability of ecosystems are dependent on the shared natural capital, and we carry out our activities accordingly.

Consumption level of iron and steel products is regarded as one of the most significant indicators of a country’s welfare and development. In economically strong countries and developing countries, iron and steel consumption is always on the rise and new production capacities are continuously established to keep up with the pace of consumption growth.

Yeşilyurt Group keeps on growing and developing in a sustainable manner for the benefit of all its stakeholders, with stellar economic performance and environmentally sensitive conduct, always paying regard to the expectations of its employees and the community. Our group considers sustainability as one of the most integral components of our corporate management approach.

 

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS IN LINE WITH OUR STRATEGY

 

Our sustainability goal is to ensure that we abide by all legal legislation and obligations, that we carry out all our operations and investments within the framework of our integrated Management System Policy that comprises quality, environment, and occupational health & safety management systems, that we fulfil our economic, social and environmental obligations considering the needs and expectations of our stakeholders, that we protect the natural environment and respect humanity and nature, and that we perform our operations in a transparent and accountable manner with a vision for sustainable growth.

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM?

ISO 14001 Environmental Management System is a systematic approach which ensures that the production, for whichever sector, is carried out taking into account all environmental impacts in every step of production from start to finish. ISO 14001 is an international standard that defines the inspection, controlling and improving (i.e. the process) of the environmental performance of a company.

The management system developed to systematically reduce and -if possible- to eliminate any damage or harm that an organization inflicts or might inflict on the environment is designated as the Environmental Management System.

WHAT IS ISO 14001 STANDARD?

*ISO 14000 family of standards is an Environmental Management Standard developed by ISO Technical Committee TC207. This series of standards is designed to comprehend all environmental aspects related to organizations, and it serves as basis for the organizations to prioritize environmental impacts, as well as to manage and control them.

*ISO 14001 Environmental Management System is a management model based on risk analyses, which essentially aims to reduce the use of natural resources, and to minimize any possible damages to land, water and air.

*Published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO 14001 series of standards defines the establishment of a system that ensures the determination of environmental factors throughout the production process from raw material to finished product and that enables to minimize any damages to the environment by taking aforementioned factors under control through the implementation of necessary inspections and precautions.

*ISO 14001 is not a product standard, but a system standard, and it deals with how a product is made rather that what is produced. It is based on monitoring and continuous improvement of environmental performance. The standard stipulates that any applicable legislation and laws -and provisions thereto- related to environmental factors are to be complied with.

*It is a well-known fact that our resources are not infinite, and environmental impacts of products and operations are not local/regional but global. Developed with this fact in mind, ISO 14001 is a management system that aims to protect environmental features and natural structure.

*ISO 14001 standard constitutes the basis for more efficient management of risks and opportunities related to the environment, and intends to minimize the environmental damage inflicted by the activities of industrial organizations and to reduce the consumption of energy and raw materials.

*ISO 14001 is an internationally recognized standard related to Environmental Management Systems, and serves as a guide for more efficient management of environmental aspects of an organization’s activities, products and services.

*Organizations that establish Environmental Management Systems in compliance with ISO 14001 standard ensure that natural resources are not consumed and polluted, or such adverse impacts are minimized; and thus they are regarded as environmentally friendly and trustworthy companies.

***AIR EMISSION MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Our facility is granted the Environmental Permission concerning Air Emissions, dated 20.06.2013, numbered B.09.0.ÇED.0.10.01.00-150.01/1155. Our facility was not subjected to continuous measurements because it successfully satisfied the limit values as per emission measurements carried out under the scope of the permission.

Emission Report that includes confirmatory measurements, which is to be performed every two years within the framework of the Environmental Permission, were prepared and submitted on 09.01.2015 by “Artek Mühendislik Çevre Ölçüm ve Danışmanlık Hizm. Tic. A.Ş.” accredited by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization as well as Turkish Accreditation Agency (Türkak).

Emission sources within the facility are as follows:

Emissions caused by production (Arc furnace melting process)

Environmental dust within the facility (Extraction hood system)

Oxygen production facility

Handling and storage activities

Scrapyard loading/unloading activities

Emissions generated as a result of scrap melting in the electric arc furnace in the facility include dust, carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrous oxide (NOx). Melting is performed by using electricity. Natural gas is used as additional fuel.

Extraction hood system with fan extracts the environmental dust within the facility.

These two systems are directed to the dust collection unit via two flue systems, designated as primary and secondary.

Flue gases and environmental dust collected by the extraction hood above the arc furnace are released to the atmosphere after passing through filters of 1.500.000 m3/h capacity in the current dust collection unit.

Summarized information on emissions generated as a result of handling and storing activities are as follows:

Emission Source	Dust (Kg/Hour)
	Controlled	Uncontrolled
Handling (Round-trip Total Distance)	0,4608	0,2304
Storing	0,2199	0,11
Total	0,6808	0,3404
Limit Value	1	1

Flue gases and environmental dust collected by the extraction hood above the arc furnace are released to the atmosphere after passing through filters of 1.500.000 m3/h capacity in the current dust collection unit. Summarized information on emission reduction measures taken in the facility are as follows. Note: These information are cited from the Emission Report issued by the measurement company accredited by the ministry.

Roads within the facility are concrete-covered and locally of compacted material. They are regularly swept and sprinkled with water by our industrial sweeper to suppress dust.

Stored materials, if any, are kept %10 moist on the top layer by sprinkling regularly using the watering equipment in the facility.

Due care is taken to avoid scattering during loading and unloading operations.

Scrapyard is covered on its sides and top to prevent dust emissions to the atmosphere that might be generated during loading, unloading and handling.

***WATER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Wastewater:

Domestic and industrial wastewater is generated in the melting facility of Yeşilyurt Demir Çelik End. Ve Liman İşl. A.Ş. and it is exempt from the Environmental Permission on Domestic and Industrial Wastewater. Such wastewater is disposed of -via interconnected piping- to Samsun Organized Industrial Site Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Process Wastewater:

Municipal water provided by Sakarya Water and Sewerage Administration (SASKİ) is used as the process (cooling) water in the melting facility. Municipal water consumption of the facility is approximately 1900 m3/day. Cooling water is required for the process. The system is a closed circuit and the water used in the process is reutilized after being cooled. Melting facility includes untreated water, open, closed and recycling water tanks. The water from these tanks, which is mostly vaporized after the process due to high temperatures, is used by spraying in order to cool steel as well as to remove dirt and iron oxide dross from steel. Municipal water is firstly passed through water softening plant, and then conveyed to the untreated water tank to consequently be used in the process. After being used in the process the water is conveyed to the settling tank, where particulates in it are settled, and then fed back to the system. Water that is continuously circulated and sprayed to cool steel is discharged once a year in an amount of approximately 1200 ton/year from the outlet of settling tank to the sewerage of the Organized Industrial Site.

Domestic Wastewater:

Domestic wastewater (office, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, etc.) are discharged to the sewerage of the Organized Industrial Site.

Scrapyard Seepage Water

Scrap materials could get wet while being transported to the site, which could cause seepage water. By benefiting from the inclination of the site, seepage water is collected.

Such wastewater is discharged to the sewerage of the Organized Industrial Site.

Other wastewater and rainwater

No wastewater is generated from garden irrigation or water used for sweeping and sprinkling of factory site for dust prevention.

Drainage grates are installed at certain locations around the scrapyard in order to prevent rainwater entering the site according to the physical requirements to be met for Non-hazardous Waste Recycling License. Moreover, rainwater received on the facility site is discharged to V-type channels installed to outlet rainwater from the Organized Industrial Site to the Black Sea.

***NOISE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Our facilities are exempt from the Environmental Permission concerning Noise, since they are located within the Organized Industrial Site. However, to reduce the impact of noise generated by our activities and to take it under control, noise measurements are carried out as stipulated under Measurement Procedures concerning Environment, Occupational Health and Safety, according to the Regulation on Evaluation and Management of Environmental Noise.

Our Approach to Occupational Health and Safety

We, as YEŞİLYURT GROUP, give highest priority to occupational health and safety in all our operations, and target “Zero Occupational Accident” as signified by our motto “Occupational Safety First, Work Second”. Every related party is obliged to proactively do what is necessary to ensure a safe and healthy working environment in all our facilities. Protecting all our employees and the environment against all possible risks is one of our most significant goals.

In line with these goals;

We hereby commit to enforce the use of highest quality tools and materials as well as personal protective equipment; to endeavor consistently in order to prevent possible accident risks as well as any unsafe conditions or behavior that might result in occupational accidents or occupational diseases within the workplace and its annexes; to enforce the use of highest quality tools and materials as well as personal protective equipment (tercüman notu: sarıyla işaretli İngilizce ifade, asıl metne uygun şekilde mükerrer yazılmıştır, iptal edilmesi gerekebilir); to assure that our employees have competent awareness in occupational health and safety by providing relevant trainings pursuant to occupational requirements as well as occupational health and safety legislation; and to ensure the sustainability of OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System that is established and executed accordingly.

 

OHSAS 18001

 

A management system that can be voluntarily employed by all organizations, regardless of size or sector, OHSAS 18001 is effectively utilized in our operations to proactively assess possible hazards and to take necessary precautions beforehand with the purpose of fulfilling the obligations set forth by relevant legislation as well as satisfying ethical requirements.

OHSAS 18001 not only demonstrates that the organization complies with legal legislation on occupational health and safety, but also improves productivity and efficiency at the workplace by continuously enhancing the working environment.

Establishing the requirements related to occupational health and safety, OHSAS 18001 is employed concordantly with other management systems as well as quality and environmental standards applied in our operations.

The essential purpose of OHSAS 18001 is to eliminate or minimize relevant risks within the organization pursuant to legal legislation on occupational health and safety; and thus to ensure a healthy and safe working environment, and to manage such environment. Three main objectives of OHSAS 18001 can be elaborated as follows:

1) Protecting employees: Principal objective of occupational health and safety is to protect employees against any adverse effects of the workplace, and to ensure a convenient and safe working environment.

2) Ensuring safe production: One of the objectives of occupational health and safety is to minimize loss of workforce or workdays due to occupational accidents and occupational diseases, and consequently to safeguard production (goods and/or services) by increasing productivity.

3) Ensuring safe operation: Occupational health and safety -by means of precautions taken within the working environment- improves the safety of operations by eliminating fires, explosions, machinery failures and shutdowns that might imperil the organization.
