As CRIF and Dun & Bradstreet Turkey, we have been preparing the Fortune 500 Turkey list for Fortune magazine for the past 9 years.
This year, in addition to Fortune 500, we have also prepared a brand new list for Fortune: “Global Turkish Companies”
This new project mainly aims to highlight the Turkish companies that are already among the major and leading players in their own fields but also are becoming globalized with significant foreign investments and strengthen their brands in the global arena as well.
The main list is formed up according to the sales turnover of companies abroad. In other words, these figures are not exports but the sales purely generated outside of Turkey through their investments abroad. Sub-lists include construction companies according to the number of their foreign projects, logistics companies according to the number of foreign countries actively served in, manufacturers according to the number of production sites abroad.
Financial institutions are excluded in this study.
Together with the database of CRIF and Dun & Bradstreet, various sources are scanned and used in order to determine the global companies and those companies are directly contacted.
