Sabancı University receives Honor Award and Special Award in the Sabancı Golden Collar Awards

The winners of the sixth Sabancı Golden Collar Awards were announced.

The winners of the sixth Sabancı Golden Collar Awards to recognize the achievements of Sabancı Group companies and employees and to encourage sharing best practices received their prizes at an awards ceremony on Wednesday, April 29 at the Sabancı Center. 

Sabancı University and the Sabancı Foundation received Honor Awards for their contribution to the Golden Collar Awards initiative.  The prize was received by Secretary General Haluk Bal.  Kordsa Global and Sabancı University also received Special Awards, and the recipients of the award in the university were Hasan Mandal, Yusuf Menceloğlu and Volkan Özgüz.

The master of ceremony was Cem Davran, and attendees included Sabancı Holding Board of Directors Chair Güler Sabancı, CEO Zafer Kurtul, Group HR President Neriman Ülsever, directors of the Group, and employees.

Sabancı Holding Board of Directors Chair Güler Sabancı said, “The Sabancı Golden Collar Awards are the best manifestation of the value we give to our people.”

In the introductory remarks of the ceremony, Sabancı Holding Board of Directors Chair Güler Sabancı said: “The Sabancı Golden Collar Awards began 6 years ago, in 2009.  Thanks to you, the awards are now an exceptional occasion.  As I had said in 2009 when we gave the first Sabancı Golden Collar Awards, this was the beginning of a journey to perfection.  I am now delighted to see that the journey is going really well with your enthusiasm, dedication, participation and ownership.  As an event where Sabancı Group companies inspire each other and share their knowledge and experience, the Golden Collar Awards is your program, your awards and your success.  This year we have a new category in our awards: Digitalization.  This category received 53 submissions from 9 Group companies.  Such great interest in the category right from the start shows how well our companies have adopted this issue.  Digitalization reshapes ways of doing business across all industries and affects our private lives as well.  This compelled us to start the new category.  We believe that we will be successful, and that we will be rewarded with even more success.  People are our focus in everything that we do.  The Sabancı Group does research for people, works for people, produces for people.  And the Golden Collar is the embodiment of our commitment to our people.  The Golden Collar rewards valuable ideas, projects and initiatives that seek to add value to human life.  But as I always say, no one is a loser in the Golden Collar Awards.  Some may receive prizes, but we all win in the end.  We all learn, improve and win.”

The Sabancı Golden Collar Awards were given in 8 categories this year.  Akçansa came first in the Value Creator category.  Equality at Work and Investment in People awards went to Brisa, while Temsa Global won in Efficiency and Çimsa in Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship.  In the Market Focus category, Akçansa came first in the individual subcategory and Çimsa in the corporate subcategory.  The winners of the Synergy category were AkSigorta and Enerjisa teams.  The award in the new category of Digitalization went to Akçansa. Sabancı University and Sabancı Foundation received Honor Awards for their contribution to the Sabancı Golden Collar Awards.
