It gained a successful place thanks to you. In 2009 when we have started Sabancı Golden Collar Awards, I have also said. This awards are the beginnings of our travel to excellence. And I am happily saying that this travel are going on with your enthusiasm, excitement, participation and protection. Golden Collar Awards where Sabancı Community companies inspire each other and share their experiences and knowledge accumulation, is your process, your awards, your success. As stated previously, there is a new category in our 8 categories: Digitalizing. In digitalizing category, there were 53 project applications from 9 companies. That was such a high participation that we can understand this subject is so internalized by our society. Digitalizing is reforming the work style in all sectors and also effecting our private life. Therefore, we are departing with such a category. We believe that you will be successful and this brings us success. We focus on human in all of our activity sectors. Sabancı Community researches for human, works for human, produces for human. We proving that we value human in a nice way thanks to Sabancı Golden Collar Awards. Golden Collar is awarding valuable ideas, projects and works of Sabancı employees that aim to add value human life. However as I always say, noone loses in Golden Collar Awards. There are prize winners but as a result we all win. We learn together, we reach better together and win together".
CEO of Sabancı Group Zafer Kurtul stated in his speech as follows:"Sabancı Golden Collar Awards is a vital project which drives the future, strategies of our community. We picked the categories as the ones which is suitable for us and support our strategies. Each year we renew them. We have added the category of digitalizing this year. In whichever sector we are, there are a lot of trends which effect our businesses; wide spreading internet, mobility, cloud etc. We need to consider deeply the effects of those trends to our business".
Kurtul continues as follows, "2014 was a good performance year. Our combined net sales has increased 23%. Our consolidated net sales has increased 20%. In 2014, we made 3 billion TRY investment 57 percent of which is in energy sector. Our employees recruited in our community has exceeded 60 thousand. Integration works of Ayedas and Toroslar region which are newly taken over by Enerjisa are maintained. Three new plant will be enabled in 2015. Carrefoursa had a very good year in retail.

Last year, we had promised to Mrs. Güler, it was to spread and reward entrepreneurship in our Community. We kept our promise and we have added 'corporate entrepreneurship' into our 'innovation' category. For us corporate entrepreneurship is to create business models driving values, focusing on needs and contributing our financials with our valued employees' new and creative aspects. This year we bring another novelty to the Golden Collar Awards, we built a category named 'digitalizing' which is storm through the world. We have 116 project application this year in 8 category.
