With over 2,850 employees, Mars Logistics, offering integrated logistics services to its customers, is implementing the Breathe Easy Project, granting an extra 3 days off to non-smoking employees and those who quit smoking.

TURKEY - On February 9th, designated as World No Tobacco Day by the World Health Organization in 1987, Mars Logistics' Human Resources Director Nihal Kansu spoke about the project, stating, 'As is known, smoking harms not only the smoker but also those around them. With our Breathe Easy Project, we will be giving an extra 3 days off yearly to our colleagues who do not smoke or have quit smoking.'

'Our colleagues' health is of utmost importance to us. Unfortunately, we only start thinking about our health when we face a health problem,' Kansu remarked, emphasizing that tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable health issues worldwide. She outlined the project's aim, 'With our Breathe Easy Project, we intend to support non-smokers and encourage our colleagues who smoke to quit by offering an additional 3 days off.'

Kansu concluded by saying that all employees of Mars can benefit from the program, which is set to be launched in the coming days with the rule of not using cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, tobacco, or any tobacco products.
