Within this scope, we have presented the Responsible Sourcing System to the Turkish ready-mixed concrete, cement, aggregates and precast industries. This system takes into consideration the environmental balance and economic growth together, and aims to meet the needs of future generations by ensuring the efficient use of natural resources. This system, specifically developed for concrete, cement, aggregate and precast industries, is very crucial and beneficial so Turkish companies show great interest in this system. On this occasion, I congratulate Çimko, a member of our association, which is entitled to receive the Responsible Sourcing System Certificates for their two ready-mixed concrete plants.
