The history, values and management approach of Neris Holding.
Neris Holding grew out of a small automotive spare-parts workshop that two partners opened in Kocaeli in 1962. Over more than six decades the group has become a business active in five sectors – automotive, energy, finance, retail and defense – employing more than 14,000 people.
Integrity, long-term thinking, commitment to production and investment in our people are the four values shared by every company in the group. Each company runs with an independent management team in its own sector, while the holding acts as an umbrella for capital allocation, risk management, corporate governance and strategic planning.
One third of our board consists of independent members. Audit, early risk detection and corporate governance committees meet regularly, and decisions and results are shared transparently with investors.
Forty-two percent of Neris Holding employees are women, and the share in management is 31 percent. Through the Neris Education Foundation, 1,400 students have received vocational scholarships and workshops have been renovated at two vocational high schools in Kocaeli and Eskişehir. 2,600 employees take part in the volunteering program every year.
Full alignment with CMB corporate governance principles and transparent reporting.
We reinvest more than half of annual profits into long-term growth.
A 2040 net-zero roadmap and a climate strategy aligned with science-based targets.
38 training hours per person each year and 42 percent women in management.
Exports to 22 countries and operations in 9 countries.
