As Türkiye’s largest manufacturer of engine valves, we at Supsan act with the responsibility of contributing to society and the environment beyond our field of expertise. We touch different areas of life with the projects we implement and our voluntary activities.
The Ocean Volunteers team, made up of volunteer Borusan employees, takes part in many projects ranging from environmental clean-ups to support for NGOs.
The Ocean Volunteer Borusan Employees Platform was created to find effective solutions to education, culture-art, environment, and human rights issues by enabling Borusan employees to apply their knowledge and skills to social and societal responsibility projects with a volunteer approach. The platform aims to carry out social responsibility projects that employees can take part in voluntarily, where we can employ our corporate and personal knowledge and skills to benefit social areas, and so that the concept of volunteer work can be understood and put into practice.
We Support Education
We believe that education is key to social development, and we carry out projects that bring young people and people of all ages closer to science and technology.
We support the young people in the First Lego League (FLL) Challenge Türkiye Tournaments, taking place internationally in 98 countries, including Türkiye. We sponsored the Stars of the Galaxy team in 2018. We provided coaching support to the FLL robotic tournament and won the Aslan Koç Award.
We were among the participants in the Borusan Technology School project where Borusan Group employees displayed their experiments on AI, software, machine learning and automation technologies. With the Borusan Technology School project, we aim to ensure that everyone can access our training free and benefit from it free of charge with equal opportunities in education, based on our vision of benefiting society, and we intend to share our experience and know-how. Supsan took part in the Borusan Technology School project as instructors with our managers.
We get children to love books by donating books to village schools. By expanding their libraries, we invite children to discover the different worlds inside the books.
We Work for a Cleaner Environment
We know how important making the environment we live in cleaner is for a sustainable world. We try to maintain our contribution to the environment in every field by donating saplings on special occasions on behalf of our stakeholders.
We are doing our part for the environment by planting saplings in our facility's grounds and regionally in areas where they are needed on the special occasions we have designated as a team.
We organise rubbish collecting events with our volunteer employees.
We Develop Environmentally Friendly Projects Making Animals’ Lives Easier
Our Supsan volunteers in collaboration with the Aegean Idea Partnership Association (EFODER) created a care area at Supsan for visually impaired cats under the Borusan Ocean Volunteers initiative.

We turn disused cargo pallets into homes for cats and dogs and send them to the people, institutions and organisations that need them. We allow waste to be used as part of the circular economy.
We Support Projects that Overcome Obstacles
We are among the supporters of the Spinal Paralysis Association which protects and improves the educational, social, cultural, economic, legal and professional rights and benefits of people with orthopaedic disabilities and supports their participation in social life.
