Our Approach to Sustainability
At Berrak, we don’t just produce products with a unique taste; we also feel a deep sense of responsibility towards nature, people, and the future. In this journey that we have been on for over 42 years, we are now redefining sustainability under the “ReLeaf” initiative. ReLeaf is not just an environmentally conscious vision; it is a transformative movement that protects the soil, producers, consumers, and our planet. From raw material selection to production processes, employee welfare to local development projects, we are working tirelessly toward a greener world with every step we take.
Clean Energy with the GES Project
One of the most powerful ways to protect the future is to invest in clean energy today. With this belief, we are taking decisive steps towards environmentally friendly production with the Zeytursan Solar Power Plant Project. By generating 3,200,000 kWh of solar energy annually, we are supporting our production with renewable sources. This enables us to reduce carbon emissions by 1,280,000 kilograms each year and contribute to nature equivalent to planting 106,666 trees. By harnessing the unlimited potential of solar energy, we are embracing environmentally conscious production while leading the transformation in the energy sector. Our goal is to build a sustainable future that not only meets today's needs but also those of tomorrow.

Effective Use of Resources
The key to efficient production lies in the proper use of resources. With this in mind, we make many resources available to our farmers, from seeds to fertilizers, from machinery to support equipment. Our goal is to preserve the value that the land provides and pass this value on to future generations. We act in harmony with nature at every stage of production, taking responsibility not only for today but also for tomorrow. Every product we offer is a reflection of this philosophy and our respect for the land.
Effective Use of Resources
Smart Irrigation Technology
Water is invaluable in agriculture, but its supply is limited. Using water wisely is no longer a choice but a necessity for efficient and sustainable production. We guide farmers in the regions where we operate toward smart irrigation technologies, increasing both productivity and quality with water-saving methods. Thanks to drone-supported irrigation systems, we provide the exact amount of water needed by the soil and plants at the right time. This way, we protect nature while ensuring the quality of every product that reaches your table.

A Growing Future with Our Farmers
We believe in the power of hands that work the land, and we know that local farmers are at the heart of production. In the fertile lands of the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, we have built relationships based on trust with the farmers we have been working with for years, and we stand by them by offering purchase guarantees through seasonal agreements. This collaboration is not merely economic; it is also a bond nourished by knowledge and extending into the future. Through the training programs we organize on modern agricultural techniques, we enhance our farmers' production capacity and contribute to the more efficient use of resources. We believe that every step that values the land and respects labor lays the foundation for a sustainable future.

Care at every stage and Respect For Nature at every step
A Growing Future with Our Farmers
We believe in the power of farmers who work the land and know that they are at the heart of production. By building relationships based on trust with the farmers we work with in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions, we stand by them. We offer purchase guarantees through seasonal agreements and organize training programs to increase productivity using modern agricultural techniques. This collaboration is not only economic but also a bond strengthened by knowledge and extending into the future.
Smart Irrigation Technology
Water is an indispensable resource in agriculture, but it is limited. Therefore, it has become imperative to use water efficiently and correctly. By introducing smart irrigation technologies to our farmers, we are increasing productivity with water-saving methods. With drone-supported irrigation systems, we provide plants with the water they need at the right time and in the right amount. In this way, we protect nature and deliver quality products to our tables.
Effective Use of Resources
Productive farming depends on the proper use of resources. We provide our farmers with a variety of resources, from seeds to fertilizers. Our goal is to preserve the value of the soil and pass it on to future generations. We work in harmony with nature in our production processes, taking responsibility not only for today but also for tomorrow. Every product we offer is a reflection of this philosophy and our respect for the land.

Care at Every Stage, Respect for Nature at Every Step
Sustainability is not a goal for us, but an integral part of our business. Under the ReLeaf initiative, our approach to sustainability is to proceed responsibly at every stage, from the first seed planted in the ground to the final product on the table. By considering both environmental and social impacts, we are building a greener, cleaner, and fairer system. With ReLeaf, we inspire the world with our production philosophy that respects nature, people, and life.Gender Equality
Equality is one of the fundamental principles of our business model. We provide equal pay and equal opportunities to our female and male employees. We also support the participation of women in rural areas in economic life and increase the role of local women farmers in production. Our goal is to make women’s labor visible and to show that equal representation in agriculture contributes to sustainability.
Partnerships for Goals
Sustainability is not a goal that can be achieved alone; it is a process that requires collective action. Under the ReLeaf initiative, we aim to develop joint projects with civil society organizations, local governments, producer associations, and other businesses, and we plan to establish solution-oriented partnerships on food security and environmental issues. In this way, we aim to produce lasting solutions to common problems.Zero Hunger
At Zeytursan, we believe that access to healthy food is a right for everyone. By maintaining high food safety standards, we offer healthy products free of additives. By supporting small-scale raw material producers, we contribute to rural development and improve the living standards of local producers. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to healthy and nutritious food and to strengthen the rural economy.
Accessible and Clean Energy
Clean energy not only protects the environment, but also becomes a fundamental element of sustainable production. With our GES Project, we are reducing fossil fuel use by generating 3,200,000 kWh of solar energy annually. This helps us improve energy efficiency and pursue our goal of leaving a livable world for future generations. We aim to lead the way in future energy transformation.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
We believe that growth starts locally. By offering local farmers a purchase guarantee, we are increasing their economic power and creating sustainable livelihoods in the agricultural sector. With our ethical supply chain, we protect the labor of producers and offer high-quality products. Our goal is to support local development and sustain ethical and long-term economic growth.
