Dear Colleagues,

I greet you with love from the first issue of MIRROR in 2024, our newsletter publication, where we meet regularly. Aside from the sweet fatigue of last year, which we successfully closed together, we are excited about the projects we will carry out in the new year. Happy 24th birthday!

First of all, I would like to WELCOME our Young Talents who joined us. Let the career journeys at ATU be colorful, rich and long-lasting. As you know, in the last few years, we have been going through a process where we have experienced the difficult economic conditions and changes that our country and the world have faced. Fortunately, ATU Duty Free has strong muscles in change management due to its flexible organizational structure that can adapt to change and transformation rapidly in terms of its sector. As we celebrate our 24th anniversary, we continue on our way with the belief that there is never an end to development and learning. The past year was full of many achievements, experiences and learning opportunities for us. We are aware that challenges are also important opportunities for development. In 2024, we hope to maintain our enthusiasm for all things new and continue to grow through continued development.

In our company's 2024 projection, it is on our agenda to create added value with the development of our valuable brands and duty-free stores that offer different shopping experiences at airports such as Old Bazaar, Luxury Square and Luxury Timepieces. As human resources, we focus on supporting your career development in the strongest way with the training programs designed in the center of using digital tools more. We will continue to meet you by increasing the effectiveness of our internal communication channels, which reflect the inclusive and diversity-embracing character of ATU.

In addition, works that create benefits with a focus on sustainability for the protection of the ecological balance of our world, which I hope is at the top of our personal lives, are among the most important topics on our agenda this year. We endeavor to transform our way of doing business and our approach to operational tools with this perspective. Positioning more environmentally friendly products in our stores, supporting local suppliers, waste management, energy emissions, social responsibility projects, sustainable business solutions, digitalization and innovation will be on our agenda in 2024.

I wish you a beautiful new period in which we share more happy moments with all our ATU employees with whom we look in the same direction with common goals. We will continue to be with your side to support you.

Sincerely,

Pınar Şener Harput
Executive Board Member / Business Support
