Besides professional development trainings, occupational health and safety, lean management, energy and environmental
trainings are also offered to employees. In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic made it impossible to conduct
the training and personal development programs which had been planned for the Company’s human resources for quite
some time.
With the implementation of epidemic measures in 2021, the trainings started to be reorganized with a limited number of
participants. As of end-2021, average training time/person at Kartonsan was 4.82 hours. This figure includes training given to subcontractor
personnel. Because of the limited training activities due to ongoing pandemic conditions, the targeted training period for
2021 could not be reached.
