Sabancı University has reached the third and final leg of the "Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders: Inspiring Change in Business Practices" project, which is carried out with the support of the Australian Embassy. The roundtable meeting, which is the final event of the project that aims to support the potential of young leaders to create a transformation focused on sustainability, was held on May 22, 2025 on Sabancı University Altunizade Digital Campus.

CDP Turkey Country Director Mirhan Köroğlu Göğüş made the following assessment regarding the project: “At CDP Turkey, we focus on social issues that intersect with climate and environment, and women’s empowerment efforts in economic and social areas. We conducted a pilot study within the scope of the ‘Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders: Inspiring Change in Business Practices’ project. This process progressed within the framework of a just transition, but particularly with a focus on sustainable finance. Now, we aim to develop a new sustainable finance project that will be structured on the basis of these foundations, based on the relationships of large companies with SMEs. Our aim is to create structures that support the sustainability steps of large companies towards SMEs. We believe that this meeting will be the beginning of brand-new projects.”
