We Attended the AIM-Progress Supplier Working Group Meeting

As Durak Hazelnuts, we participated in the AIM-Progress Supplier Working Group meeting held in İzmir from October 13–15, 2026.

The meeting covered topics such as enhancing social compliance efforts within supply chains, strengthening coordination for field-based activities, clarifying the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, and measuring the impact of implemented practices.
Participants shared their field experiences and current practices, while also exploring ways to utilize resources more effectively and develop collaborative working models. Other key discussion points included joint approaches to combating child labor and ensuring more active participation from buying companies in improvement processes.
Our participation in this meeting provided us with the opportunity to evaluate current approaches to responsible supply chains and social sustainability, and to examine our own initiatives in light of the experiences of various stakeholders.
