Norm Holding presented with its project within the scope of the “SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals” at the Leaders Summit, organised by the UN Global Compact, which brings together opinion leaders and business pioneers in the field of sustainability on the global stage.
The UN Global Compact Leaders Summit, held on September 24-25 in New York, brought together global business leaders, UN officials, heads of state, and civil society professionals as part of the UN General Assembly and the 2024 Summit of the Future.
Representing Norm Holding, Senior Sustainability Specialist İzel Özgür Tekeli, Method Engineer Elif Yegen, and Strategy and Business Development Specialist Berk Akşit, under the leadership of Sustainability and Management Systems Director Muhsin Doğan, participated in the program and presented the project proposal they developed after participating in online training and workshops for 6 months within the scope of the SDG Innovation Accelerator for Young Professionals.
The team representing Türkiye garnered significant praise for their project proposal on waste energy recovery. They are now continuing their new initiatives with significant momentum.
Norm Holding Sustainability Committee Chairman Mustafa Sabri Doğrusoy stated, “We place great importance on supporting the transformation and development of society and the business world, especially our customers. While driving this transformation with high value-added, high-quality, safe, and innovative products, we also support the development of the sectors and regions in which we operate through the responsible investment approach we have adopted as a holding. Sustainability is critical in every department and area of our company, serving as a core focus across all our business processes. The project we presented at the Leaders Summit was brought to life by a team composed of individuals from various departments within our company. The project developed through the collaboration of our colleagues from sustainability, strategy, and methodology departments, holds special significance as it reminds us once again that sustainability is a responsibility shared by all departments and, indeed, by all of us. While experiencing the joy of representing Norm Holding at the Leaders Summit, we congratulate our team for presenting their project and extend our gratitude for the pride they have brought us.”
