Full Support by Enerjisa Enerji for Sustainable Fishery in Karataş, Adana

Raising awareness on energy efficiency and corporate social responsibilities by pioneering energy transformation in Türkiye with its vision of ‘a better future for all,’ Enerjisa Enerji adopts a model of circular economy which was considered end-to-end in its ‘Support to Sustainable Fishery’ project carried out with the collaboration of Karataş Municipality and Karataş Fisheries Cooperative. Thanks to the collaboration of Karataş Municipality and Karataş Fisheries Cooperative, the project involves recycling of waste collected from the sea and the harbor and using fish nets as inputs for various projects through upcycling. These products will enable employment of women in the production process while also a sustainable and environment-friendly economy will be created through circular economy as well as an end-to-end solution will be provided by the installation of solar power plants to achieve energy efficiency, training programs to enhance capacity and waste management solutions.

“A result of our impact-oriented sustainability approach”

We focused on local people and local development while we were developing this project together with our stakeholders. With this project which enables upcycling of plastics left in the natural environment, we do not only gain benefits that are environment-friendly, but we also create a new and circular economy. As this is an activity that enhances capacity and creates income for women, we are also happy that we increase visibility of women in business and family life.

We consider this project as a result of our impact-oriented sustainability approach, and it is a significant milestone to enable fishery to be sustainable in Karataş where fishery is the main source of income for approximately 25,000 residents. The journey which began in Karataş, Adana enables us to take important steps towards a more habitable world by strengthening the fishery activities in the region as well as raising environmental awareness in general.
