Message From Our Chairperson

Borusan's perpetual social contribution

From the time we were founded, Borusan and its people have diligently endeavored to contribute to Turkey’s modernization process. We have always measured success not merely in being the best in our business pursuits, but in being exemplary citizens as well. Rooted in this conviction, we have worked continuously under the assumption that each value we created translated into a contribution to our nation’s economic and social progress. Over the years, we have been pleased with the results.

As an instrument to help us achieve this goal, we established Borusan Culture and Arts (BKS) in 1997. In his article on this website, Borusan Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr. Ahmet Kocabıyık aptly details our reason for founding BKS, as well as its vision and mission. The entire staff of Borusan Culture and Arts shares this vision and works tirelessly to see these efforts move forward without interruption.

All of the programs organized under the auspices of Borusan have served to strengthen both Borusan and Turkey and have been a continuous source of pride for us. These include everything from the musical excellence of the Borusan Philharmonic Orchestra, the Borusan Chamber Orchestra and the Borusan String Quartet to our Music Library, education programs and support of the Istanbul Music Festival.

With the passion and zeal for cultural enlightenment propelling our efforts, I believe with all my heart that the days to come will see us taking each of these endeavors to new heights of excellence.

With much love,

Zeynep Hamedi
