Sabancı University among the greenest in the world



Sabancı University ranked 144th in the third "UI Green Metric Ranking" issued by the University of Indonesia.  The only other Turkish university on the list was Bilkent University in 209th place.

The aim of the global ranking project is to combat global climate change by reducing carbon footprints of universities.

Each university is assessed on “Setting and Infrastructure,” “Energy and Climate Change,” “Waste,” “Water,” “Transportation” and “Education” to determine their carbon footprints.  The ranking provides an overview of policies related to green campus and sustainability in the universities all over the world.
It is expected that by drawing the attention of university leaders and stake holders, more attention will be given to combating global climate change, energy and water conservation, waste recycling, and green transportation.

Based on the pillars of environment, economy and justice, the ranking is expected to require change of behavior and draw more attention to economic and social problems related to sustainability.

Looking for the “right” company



Mikado Sustainable Development Consultancy and Sabancı University begin the “Capacity Development Program for Human Rights in Business” program with the support of the Consulate of the Netherlands’ Human Rights Fund. 

The project has four phases including training, implementation guidance, best practices conference and report.

Mikado Sustainable Development Consultancy and Sabancı University begin a project titled “Capacity Development Program for Human Rights in Business.”  The Human Rights Fund of the Consulate of the Netherlands funds the project with 25,000 Euros.

The objective of the project is to increase human rights awareness in the business world, proliferate best practices and drive change, and is aimed at private businesses operating in Turkey.  Applications can be made online at www.haklimisiniz.org until 15 January 2013.

The project has four phases.  The first phase includes two “Human Rights and Business” two-day training sessions in Istanbul.  The first training was held on October 13 and 14, 2012 with participation from leading companies including Roche, Bilim Pharmaceuticals, Anadolu Group, Boyner and Morhipo.  The second training will be held on January 19 and 20, 2013.  Participants are chosen among companies that are sensitive to human rights and plan to make improvements within the business.  Training sessions are free of charge and include the history of human rights, case studies on human rights in business, best practice sharing, and roadmaps for participants to develop human rights strategies within their companies.

The second phase of the project is implementation guidance.  Companies which take part in the Human Rights and Business trainings and wish to implement the Human Rights Roadmap within their organizations will receive free implementation guidance.  The guidance program includes the development of human rights strategies in companies, implementation of improvement plans and the development of best practices.

In the last phase of the project, a final meeting will be held with all interested public offices and institutions, private businesses, non-governmental organizations and academic institutions to share project outputs and success stories.  A final report of project outputs and success stories will be compiled and made available to the public.
