In the last thirty years, global sustainability issues have been raised on the world agenda as a result of technological, communicative and scientific innovations in one hand, and new global problems and emerging sensitivities of the international community on the other hand. Established in 2000, UN Global Compact creates a global network based on voluntary participation primarily of companies and other local and international institutions playing role in the social and economic development, requires them to take voluntary steps for complying with sustainability principles and goals, finally requests them to report their activities periodically. This study is conducted by deepened face to face interview and online survey methods with eight companies. Findings has been interpreted as the companies in Turkey hold sustainability consciousness in strategical awareness, strategical guidance and strategic formulation process, however, fail to satisfy strategical implementation and integration process as well as reporting and communication

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK STRATEJİLERİ BAĞLAMINDA TÜRKİYE’DE BİRLEŞMİŞ MİLLETLER GLOBAL COMPACT PROGRAMI KATILIMCISI FİRMALAR ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Son
otuz yılda, bir yandan gözlenen teknolojik, iletişimsel ve bilimsel yenilikler
diğer yandan dünyanın karşılaştığı yeni sorunlar ile uluslararası toplumun
duyarlılıkları küresel sürdürülebilirlik sorunları dünya gündemine taşımıştır.
2000 yılında kurulan BM Global Compact programı başta şirketler olmak üzere
toplumsal ve ekonomik gelişmede rol alan ulusal ve uluslararası oluşumların
sürdürülebilirlik ilke ve amaçlarına uyum için gönüllü adımlar atmasını isteyen
ve düzenli raporlamalarına dayalı bir küresel ağ oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma BM
sürdürülebilirlik programına Türkiye’den katılan firmaların güdülerini anlamaya
yöneliktir ve bu alanda çalışmalara bir giriş olma amacı taşımaktadır. Bu
araştırma sekiz firma ile derinlemesine yüz yüze görüşme ve internet üzerinden
anket yöntemleri ile yürütülmüştür. Bulgular Türkiye’deki firmaların stratejik
bilinç, stratejik yönlendirme ve strateji oluşturma aşamalarında
sürdürülebilirlik anlayışına sahip olduklarını ancak strateji uygulama ve
içselleştirme ile raporlama ve iletişim süreçlerinde eksik kaldığı şeklinde
değerlendirilmiştir.
