OUR POLICIES
Önder Defense shapes its operations in line with sustainable development principles, making environmental, social, and economic sustainability an integral part of its business strategy. While adapting to the changing dynamics of the global defense industry, we are committed to creating long-term value and fostering responsible growth, setting our sustainability goals for the future.
In terms of environmental sustainability, our goal is to transform our production processes into a structure with high energy efficiency, low carbon emissions, and minimal use of natural resources. In this regard, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, contributing to the preservation of ecological balance, and improving waste management processes by adopting circular economy principles are among our primary objectives.
In line with our social sustainability approach, we aim to create an inclusive and equitable work environment, support the professional development of our employees, strengthen the skilled workforce in the industry, and contribute to social development by establishing long-term collaborations with local communities. Building a corporate structure that is sensitive to human rights, promotes diversity, and focuses on ethical business practices is an important component of our sustainability vision.
In the context of economic sustainability, we develop long-term financial strategies to enhance our company's global competitiveness, support growth through domestic and international collaborations, and conduct comprehensive studies to produce innovative solutions through R&D investments. Adopting a transparent financial management approach to strengthen corporate trust and enhance our economic stability in alignment with our sustainable development goals is one of our core principles.
As Önder Defense, we aim to achieve our sustainability goals not only through our corporate policies but also in collaboration with all our stakeholders, continuing to act with a sense of responsibility to leave a more livable world for future generations.

Circular Economy and Waste Management
Advanced Recycling and Waste Reduction Programs
In line with our waste management strategy, we aim to increase material efficiency by using advanced recycling technologies in our production processes. By developing processes in our production sites based on the zero-waste principle, we encourage the reuse of industrial waste and ensure that recyclable components are maximally utilized in production.
Industrial Symbiosis Projects for Inter-Sector Material and Energy Flows
By implementing industrial symbiosis projects based on sectoral collaborations, we aim to optimize material and energy sharing between different sectors. The reassessment of waste materials in different industrial branches reduces resource usage in our production processes, lowering environmental impacts, and leads the way in the creation of sustainable industrial ecosystems with innovative business models.
Sustainable Innovation
By shaping our R&D activities in line with sustainability principles, we aim to integrate our environmental, social, and economic responsibility into our innovation processes. From the design phase of our products, we focus on minimizing their environmental impact, and we aim to develop more efficient, durable, and environmentally friendly systems with advanced technology solutions.
Innovative Clean Technologies
In line with our goal of increasing energy efficiency in defense technologies, we aim to strengthen our operational sustainability by developing innovative solutions. We prioritize increasing efficiency in our operations with smart energy management systems and sustainable power solutions, while fulfilling our environmental responsibilities by ensuring long-term energy savings.
Sustainable Finance and Investments
In line with our sustainable development goals, we are conducting comprehensive studies to align our financial processes with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Exploring green financing opportunities, developing sustainable investment planning, and integrating ESG risks into financial decision-making mechanisms are among the key elements of our long-term corporate strategy.
Responsible Supply Chain
We operate with the vision of enhancing the sustainability of our supply chain and working closely with our suppliers. While minimizing the environmental and social impacts of our operations, we aim to achieve supply chain management that creates long-term value. In order to build long-term sustainable partnerships, we aim to support our suppliers by implementing incentive mechanisms to promote the use of renewable energy, low-carbon materials, and circular economy principles.
Sectoral Collaborations
We are implementing comprehensive strategies to actively contribute to the development of sustainability standards in the defense industry and support the long-term environmental, social, and economic transformation in the sector.
To participate in sectoral initiatives for supply chain sustainability, we aim to play an active role in national and international platforms, adopting best practices for sustainable production and logistics processes. By collaborating with suppliers based on sustainability criteria, we aim to develop joint ventures that enhance resource efficiency and minimize environmental impacts.
