On receiving the corporate social responsibility award on behalf of AvivaSA, Aslı Erkanlı Olcay stated: “From the date on which our company was founded, we have acted in the belief that that corporate social responsibility is fundamental to our way of doing business. We try to engage in CSR projects which encourage positive thinking in society, that have an impact on our environment, and which make a difference. So our Audio Book project, carried out in collaboration with GETEM, was one of our company’s most important projects. Our company will continue to give importance to its CSR work in the future.”
The AvivaSA audio book project is a project, accomplished through GETEM, which includes financial support for items such as construction of sound booths, and the participation of more than 170 AvivaSA Volunteers, up to the present time, reading selected books in a live environment, to meet standards set out by GETEM.
