    Established in 1926, Koç Holding is Turkey’s leading industrial and services group and a flagship of the Turkish economy with leading positions in four core sectors: energy, automotive, consumer durables and finance, which are all key driving sectors of the Turkish economy. Koç Holding derives its strength from its unparalleled distribution network and the most extensive historical customer database in Turkey, continuously creating synergies for its underlying businesses through up and cross-selling opportunities and adding value to its customers. The Group has an outstanding track record of establishing and managing successful joint ventures with leading multinational groups such as Ford, Fiat and UniCredit.

    For over 80 years, Koç Group has been the engine of development in the Turkish private sector.

    Koç Group operates in compliance with international standards in the areas of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, environmental protection, customer satisfaction and human resources. Long before corporate governance gained prominence, Koç Holding had taken steps to implement the highest standards of corporate governance. Koç Holding is one of the first companies in Turkey to have independent members on its board of directors and is still one of the few that links executive compensation to share price performance and economic profit. The Holding and its subsidiaries actively contribute to the well-being of society through a variety of projects and initiatives in the areas of cultural heritage, art, education, healthcare, sports and environmental protection. In 2006, Koç Holding signed the UN Global Compact, proving its commitment to corporate citizenship and sensitivity to social issues.
