[edit] Activities
The Eczacıbaşı Group is the founder of Turkey’s first privately-funded museum of modern art, to which it provided the initial investment and project management finance as well as the core collection of paintings.
Corporate citizenship is a fundamental component of the Eczacıbaşı Group’s identity that derives from the Eczacıbaşı family’s tradition of community service and pioneering role in the development of modern Turkish industry and institutions.
Dr. Nejat F. Eczacıbaşı, the founder of the Eczacıbaşı Group, firmly believed that every investor had a duty to use a portion of the wealth generated by his or her business to improve the community. During his lifetime, he sought to achieve this through the establishment and sponsorship of non-profit institutions involved in culture and the arts, education, scientific research, public policy and sports.
Dr. Eczacıbaşı summed up his view of corporate social responsibility with: "The real measure of private entrepreneurship is its success in increasing the wealth of the whole community." Today, every Eczacıbaşı Group company regularly contributes to one or several non-profit institutions and one of the primary corporate values that all Eczacıbaşı employees are expected to share is the “tradition of serving our community”.
For 65 years the Eczacıbaşı Group and its individual companies have sponsored a wide range of projects in four broad categories: culture and the arts, education, sports, scientific research and public policy.
