History
Alarko Holding was started in 1954 by two people named İshak Alaton and Üzeyir Garih. Over the years, it grew to include many different types of businesses.
By 2014, the company was involved in several main areas. These included building and construction, energy, industry, tourism, and even fish farming (aquaculture) and real estate.
Alarko Holding also cares about giving back to the community. In 1986, they created the Alarko Education and Culture Foundation (ALEV). This foundation works on projects that help society, like supporting education and culture.
Environmental Responsibility
Like many large companies, Alarko Holding has operations that affect the environment. For example, one of its power plants, which uses coal to make electricity, produces gases that can contribute to climate change. These are called greenhouse gases.
Organizations like Climate Trace keep track of how much greenhouse gas different companies release. Alarko Holding is working to manage its environmental impact as part of its business activities.
