The circular economy model, which largely eliminates the concept of waste, extends the life cycle of products. This model, which aims to use products for as long a time as possible by repairing, renewing and recycling them, also minimizes waste and makes maximum contribution to both nature and economy. BNP Paribas Cardif, the most comprehensive insurance platform in the Turkish insurance industry, supports the circular economy with the solutions it offers for refurbished vehicles and devices. While those who purchase refurbished vehicles benefit from Cardif's Extended Warranty solution, those who purchase refurbished electronic devices such as phones, tablets, televisions and smart watches secure their devices with Device Protection Insurance.
Stating that they have developed solutions that support sustainability and circular economy as the insurer of the changing world, BNP Paribas Cardif Turkey Business Partnerships Deputy General Manager Uğur Kırçal said, “We make a difference in our sector with our comprehensive solutions that include the insurance of vehicles and devices that are considered second-hand but certified refurbished. As BNP Paribas Cardif, we act in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals, which aim to end poverty, protect the environment, take precautions against the climate crisis, fair sharing of prosperity and peace, within the scope of both the business model we carry out, the principles we adopt and the policies we implement, and we remain within this focus while doing our business. "We take care," he said.
Emphasizing that they insure refurbished electronic devices against serious risks with "Device Protection Insurance", one of the solutions that support the circular economy, Uğur Kırçal said, "This innovative solution, which can be used by those who purchase certified refurbished electronic devices from BNP Paribas Cardif's contracted business partners, has been brought back into the economy." It protects electronic products against risks such as accidental damage, electrical damage, damage caused by liquid contact and theft. In case of any damage that may occur within the scope of the guarantees, policyholders can contact BNP Paribas Cardif's Customer Communication Center by phone, create a damage record and They safely deliver their devices to the store where they purchased them along with the necessary documents. The insured devices are examined by the expert technical team as soon as possible, repaired free of charge by the contracted authorized services and delivered to the policy owner. In cases where repair is not possible within the scope of the guarantees, our customers are refunded within the framework of the exemption rates in the policy. "The payments are being made," he said.
Noting that another solution that supports sustainability and circular economy is the "Extended Warranty" service they offer for renewed vehicles, BNP Paribas Cardif Turkey Business Partnerships Deputy General Manager Uğur Kırçal said, "Those who purchase renewed vehicles from our contracted business partners can benefit from our 'Extended Warranty' solution. This solution appeals to all vehicle owners who want to get away from financial concerns by extending the warranty period of their vehicle. Extended Warranty, which comes into effect after the manufacturer's warranty expires, protects the vehicles within the scope of the special conditions of the policy in case the spare parts within the scope fail. In this way, vehicle owners who want to protect their budgets can have their covered repairs done under the extended warranty. "Our policyholders can easily benefit from the 'Extended Warranty' by contacting BNP Paribas Cardif's Customer Communication Center in case of a malfunction in their vehicles within the scope of the coverage," he said.
