Özet:

Today, it is not possible for institutions to move profit-oriented only to their goals and maintain their assets. It is necessary to establish and maintain good relationships with their partners and with the society in which they live. Therefore, institutions that are not only financially strong, but also socially too much contributing to society and their stakeholders have begun to gain reputation. To meet the needs and expectations of society must be included in the philosophy and values of each institution. In the context of all these developments, new responsibilities have been imposed on the institutions and they are expected to be a responsible citizen of the institutions as well as their social responsibility work. Especially in recent times, environmental and natural issues have become increasingly important in society and institutions have been asked to show concrete behaviors in this direction. The number of companies that protect and own the environment with corporate environmental citizenship has begun to increase on a daily basis. In the framework of all these developments, the aim of this study is to investigate whether the top 50 companies listed in 2017 Fortune 500 in Turkey have sent messages about their corporate environmental citizenship on their corporate websites. In the study by reviewing these companies’ websites, the institutions’ work defined in the framework of ‘environmental citizenship’ has been evaluated and it has been revealed whether “environmental citizenship” has been given a message through their websites.
