Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals, in other words, the Global Goals, are a universal call to action, established in 2015 with the aim of protecting our planet, preventing poverty, and ensuring that all humanity can live in prosperity and peace. Gender Equality, which is the fifth development goal, aims to ensure equal participation of women and men in all aspects of social life. The related target has 6 main and 14 sub-targets. Due to the global transformation covering the past 30 years, women’s labor force in business life, their profession, and their current business lines have undergone a great transformation. Logistics and transportation sectors have been accepted as one of male-dominated business lines until today, and women’s employment has been avoided. However, in the rapidly globalizing business world, it has become very important for women and men to have equal conditions in business life within the scope of SDG 5. Six logistics companies listed in the BIST 100 index were accepted as samples, and the annual and semi-annual sustainability and human resources policy reports shared by the companies were examined. The main purpose of this research is to examine the logistics sector in Turkey from the perspective of gender equality and to present a projection of the current situation of the sector.
