Koc Holding is one of Turkey’s largest and most powerful conglomerates. The Koc Group is engaged in different industries including finance, energy, automotive and white goods. Owning many leading companies within various sectors, Koc Holding achieved international growth.

However what sets Koc apart is not only that it is one of the most influential corporations in Turkey, but also the value they place on corporate social responsibility. The Koc Group understands that every establishment has a responsibility towards the society it is founded in, and follows the footsteps of founder Vehbi Koc by carrying out projects aiming to enrich their community.

In collaboration with the Vehbi Koc Foundation, Koc Group actively contributes to health and education as well as supporting cultural and economic growth by establishing research centers and museums, offering scholarships to students and assistance to other non-profit organizations and carrying out projects designed to encourage improvements in the educational system and the cultural environment.

Koc Holding’s successful, award-winning project “Meslek Lisesi Memleket Meselsi”, which changed the lives of more than 8000 students by awarding them with scholarships, was recently made into a book. Koc Group’s accomplishments will hopefully lead the way for all other businesses in Turkey.
