We are pleased to highlight this event organized by the MEC Club, which aligns closely with Bilkent Faculty of Business Administration’s sustainability focus. The “Be.Sustainable: Corporate Sustainability Strategies and Leadership” event, organized by the Bilkent University Management and Economics Community(MEC), took place on May 7 with the participation of Umran Beba. The event addressed the strategic importance of sustainability in today’s business world, the role of leadership in companies’ long-term success, and changing business dynamics on a global scale. Drawing on her own career experiences, Ümran Beba shared valuable insights on building a sustainability-oriented corporate culture, leading teams across different geographies, inclusive leadership, and companies’ responsibility to create social impact. The importance of an international perspective in alumni career journeys, the new responsibilities leaders face in a changing world, and value-driven decision-making processes in business were also among the key topics discussed.
We thank the MEC Club for bringing this valuable event to life, and Ümran Beba for her inspiring contributions.
