Description

This paper aims to explore the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the successful implementation of circular economy practices in Turkey. Circular economy is a sustainable economic model that promotes efficient re-source utilization and waste reduction. CSR activities play a crucial role in en-couraging businesses to consider their environmental and social impacts while striving for sustainability.

As circular economy practices gain momentum in Turkey, there is an increasing need for businesses to prioritize CSR activities. These initiatives are instrumental in mitigating environmental impacts. Businesses can contribute to waste reduction through practices such as reuse, recycling, and efficient resource management. Additionally, CSR activities allow businesses to create environmental awareness, enhance community well-being, and foster a sustainable future.

It is imperative for Turkish businesses to integrate CSR activities with circular economy strategies. This can be achieved through cross-sector collaboration and stakeholder engagement, which are vital for the effective implementation of circu-lar economy principles and CSR initiatives. Furthermore, the establishment of supportive policies and regulations will incentivize businesses to align their prac-tices with circular economy models.
The success of circular economy practices in Turkey hinges on the effective im-plementation of CSR activities. By incorporating circular economy principles and considering environmental and social impacts, businesses can make significant strides towards achieving sustainability goals. Collaborative efforts, stakeholder involvement, and supportive policies will further enhance the adoption of circular economy practices in Turkey. This study provides valuable insights for business-es seeking to integrate circular economy and CSR activities.
