Harmony in Taste and Aesthetics
As Patis Food Group, we embrace a business model that benefits the environment, society, and economy to contribute to a sustainable future. Our mission is to act with sensitivity not only to today's needs but also to those of the future. We aim to preserve natural resources, promote social equality, and encourage economic development. At every step, we focus on all dimensions of sustainability with a long-term perspective.
The protection of our planet is a cornerstone of our business strategy. We believe that agriculture, food production, and resource management play a critical role in addressing some of the world's greatest challenges. For this reason, we continuously work to improve our efforts to protect the natural environment. To reduce our environmental footprint, we enhance our recycling processes and minimize waste. Our priorities include achieving energy efficiency in our production processes, managing water resources responsibly, and taking steps to reduce carbon emissions. Alongside environmental initiatives, we also consider social development by supporting local production and contributing to sustainable food supply chains.
Social equality is an inseparable part of sustainability. With this understanding, we strengthen social equality by increasing women's employment and empowering them to take a stronger place in economic life. We support various projects aimed at education, reducing income inequality, and enhancing women’s economic empowerment. Additionally, we encourage all stakeholders in our supply chain to adhere to ethical trade principles.
By aligning our actions with these values, Türkiye's rich resources and communities become central to our mission, ensuring a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
Social responsibility is not only about environmental sustainability but also directly impacts the well-being of communities. With a commitment to ethical trade, we establish fair, transparent, and trustworthy relationships with our suppliers.
We believe that all our business partners must respect human rights and contribute to the development of local communities. By adhering to the principles of fair trade, we ensure fair working conditions for all employees involved in our production processes.
Sustainability goes beyond our production processes; we also adopt an eco-friendly approach in the composition of our products. Through our range of vegan, environmentally friendly, and health-conscious products, we meet the needs of consumers with diverse dietary preferences. In line with this vision, we use raw materials produced through sustainable agricultural practices to offer healthier, more nutritious, and environmentally responsible products. Additionally, by combining traditional and modern production techniques, we support local producers and promote the widespread availability of eco-friendly products.
At Patis Food Group, we believe in the importance of investing in the future. Our efforts aim to make sustainability not just a goal for today but a norm for tomorrow’s world. By collaborating with farmers and suppliers, we implement sustainable practices at every stage, from agricultural production to distribution. These practices not only ensure food security but also contribute to the economic development of communities. In addressing climate change, we actively support global goals such as protecting water and forest resources and preserving biodiversity. Through our commitment to responsible production, we aim to foster diversity and leave behind a more livable world.
We see sustainability not just as a business strategy but as a way of life. By protecting our natural environment, enhancing community well-being, and promoting economic growth, we strive to leave future generations a cleaner and safer world. Every step we take towards these goals brings us closer to building a sustainable future.
Türkiye’s rich heritage and resources guide us in making these commitments a reality, ensuring that we lead with purpose and responsibility.

Fair Trade
At Patis Food Group, we demonstrate our commitment to social and economic justice in every aspect of our partnerships and supplier relationships, backed by our Fair Trade certification. By embracing Fair Trade principles, we aim to create a positive impact on global markets and communities. As the first chocolate brand in Türkiye to hold a Fair Trade Certificate, we take pride in offering a sustainable and equitable supply chain from cocoa bean to final product.
As a brand operating both in traditional and e-commerce channels, our multifaceted trade strategy enables us to make a difference both in our country and globally. Throughout all trading processes, we stand for the rights and contributions of everyone involved—from producers to consumers. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against issues like modern slavery, child labor, and the exploitation of women's labor, ensuring fairness across all stages, from cocoa bean producers to end consumers. By doing so, we contribute to society and set high ethical standards in our industry.
We prioritize environmental and social justice throughout our processes, from sourcing raw materials to production and supply. This approach ensures that every component of our products not only delights with its flavor but also upholds ethical values that contribute to a sustainable world. This commitment fills us with pride as we continue to make meaningful contributions toward a better future.
SUSTAINABILITY
Lean Production
At Patis Food Group, we adopt the lean production philosophy to make our production processes more efficient, sustainable, and economical. Lean production enables us to minimize waste and focus on creating value. This approach allows us to use resources more efficiently, reduce production times, and lower costs.
Through our lean production mindset, we achieve continuous improvement at every stage, eliminating unnecessary elements in our processes and enhancing efficiency. While striving for the highest quality in production, we also aim to reduce our environmental footprint and optimize energy consumption. By reviewing every detail, from raw material usage to waste management, we work diligently to ensure sustainability throughout our production processes.
Lean production not only reduces costs but also fosters employee engagement, creating a more productive workforce. By embracing a culture of continuous improvement, we shape our entire organization around these principles. This allows us to create more value with fewer resources and offer a sustainable production model for future generations.
SUSTAINABILITY
Recycling
We are fully aware of our responsibilities toward nature and society. At every stage of production, we prioritize sustainability principles and work with unwavering dedication to minimize our environmental footprint. Recognizing the impact of packaging on the environment, we are taking steps toward our zero-waste goal by increasing the use of recyclable materials.
By incorporating lean production principles, we use resources more efficiently, reduce waste, and ensure an eco-friendly production process. To help meet the global 1.5-degree climate target and protect natural resources, we continue to develop recycling projects and innovative approaches.
By placing environmental responsibility at the heart of our business model, we aim to leave a livable world for future generations. This commitment drives us to work toward a sustainable future while aligning every aspect of our operations with this vision.
SUSTAINABILITY
Support for Local Production
We work hand in hand with local producers in Türkiye, supporting agriculture shaped by the hard work of our farmers and strengthening regional economies. By prioritizing local farmers within our country for product sourcing, we contribute to the sustainable development of the local economy. This approach not only helps reduce our carbon footprint but also promotes sustainable agricultural practices, enhancing the productivity of our lands and reflecting our respect for nature.
Each of our products represents more than just flavor—it embodies the strength of local production. The strong partnerships we build with farmers across Türkiye not only support societal welfare but also reinforce our commitment to a more sustainable future.
