Abdulkadir Dilretli, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU), who made statements about the ranking aimed at evaluating the effects of ecological, economic and environmental sustainability practices on society according to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals, said, "We attach importance to sustainability studies in all areas, especially environmental sustainability, by adopting the Sustainable Development Goals. While implementing practices for the effective use of natural resources, we continue our prominent works on ‘Energy and Climate Change‘ by advancing with a universal sense of responsibility within the scope of energy and waste management. Under the leadership of YÖK President Prof. Dr. Erol Ozvar, we support the fact that universities are sustainable, energy-efficient, compatible with nature and minimally damaging to the environment, and we support the introduction of energy efficiency and renewable energy applications in university campuses. The rating we get in the Accessible and Clean Energy category is therefore very valuable to us. Within the scope of the ‘Zero Waste Project’ in our university, we fully believe that we will take part in higher levels in the coming years with more effective execution of the waste management system, interactive activities in the fields of rain harvesting, transportation, education and research."
