Toilets consist one of the civilization indicators of a country. This campaign we launched 14 years ago is our struggle for creating a clean and healthy society. Not only implementing the Clean Toilet campaign in our own gas stations, we have toured 72 cities, covering a distance of 6 million kilometers. We gave seminars to our citizens, teachers and students in the villages and towns. The fact that the standards introduced to the public toilets by the collaboration of OPET and TSE have been enforced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to all toilets, including those of the workplaces and restaurants confirms OPET's success in this issue. Dimensions of our campaign vary and expand ever-increasingly. Now our trucks have been set off for the purpose of avoiding any problem likely to occur in the already clean toilets of ours due to intensive use of our customers in the festival to come. We may also call this implementation of ours as the 'Festival Cleaning in OPETs'. We will go on expanding our project for the sake of a healthier future".
