What the CEO says
Görkem Elverici, CEO, underscored the competencies that support Sisecam's strong performance, emphasizing that the company has grown in a challenging and uncertain global environment. “In times of global crisis two critical capabilities stand out for companies to achieve success while pursuing their goals: strategic foresight and agility.
In such a challenging global environment, Sisecam successfully conducted its multi-geographic production operations with a proactive and rational decision-making approach. ... Today, Sisecam owns one of the most integrated digital infrastructures in the world. Our investments in digitalization and smart technologies enable us to respond quickly to the needs of our markets in terms of global trade, which were even more challenging in 2022. ... We expect to complete our large and comprehensive transformation initiative, which covers every geography and aspect of our operations, from our digital infrastructures to our company culture, by the end of 2024. We are also pursuing investments that promise future growth and support the development of the industries to which we provide inputs.”
