Reason for Boycott
Globox, owned by the 100% domestic Istanbul-based Smart Ofis Kırtasiye A.Ş., is not a "Private Label" exclusively produced for BİM (unlike Studi). However, its primary sales strategy heavily relies on dominating the seasonal stationery shelves of BİM stores. Although the Globox brand has no direct organic investments with global risk funds (BlackRock, Vanguard) or the State of Israel, it skirts the red line due to the "Dirty Shelf Supplier" contradiction. Retail giants like BİM serve as the largest physical storefronts and logistical distributors in Turkey for multinational exploitation giants—such as Coca-Cola, P&G, and Unilever—that directly fund the occupation economy. By supplying its flagship Globox brand to these chain stores, Smart Ofis provides them with massive "back-to-school consumer traffic" and significant "profit margins" (financial capability). Every profit margin left in BİM's treasury by a consumer purchasing Globox acts as financial lifeblood for the retail chain's logistical infrastructure, which sustains boycotted brands.Despite being a domestic manufacturer, because it consciously supplies products to the largest distributor of boycotted brands (BİM), thereby expanding their commercial volume, the brand is placed in the "Gray Area" (Consumer Discretion) category.
