Sustainable Business Awards 2020 Held

The Evening's Motto Was "Change is Possible Together"

The winners of the Sustainable Business Awards, held for the seventh time this year, were announced at a live prestigious awards ceremony. The awards aim to showcase role models for the business world by highlighting business models and projects that create significant impact on social, economic and environmental issues and take responsibility for our shared future—an important initiative of the Sustainability Academy. The business awards, which featured live commentary from a 39-member jury composed of Turkey's leading academics in the sustainable business field and recognized many projects for a better future, took place 'online' this year due to pandemic conditions. During the ceremony, institutions and projects that won the Sustainable Business Awards were announced from among the finalists in 14 categories. The Sustainable Business Awards will continue to inspire and guide the emergence of many innovative projects for a better future in years to come.
