Mondelez Receives "Contribution to Education Award"

Mondelez International Türkiye has received the "Education Contribution Award" at the "IAmChamPion" Awards, presented by AmCham Türkiye to recognize companies that contribute to Turkey-US bilateral trade and investment. The "IAmChamPion Awards," first launched in 2019 by AmCham Türkiye (American Business Association) to recognize companies contributing to Turkey-US bilateral trade and investment, announced their 2022 winners. Mondelez International Türkiye was deemed worthy of the "Education Contribution Award" through collaborations conducted over the past two years with Tohum Autism Foundation and Turkey Down Syndrome Association.

Mondelez International Türkiye General Manager İhsan Karagöz made the following remarks regarding the award:

"As Mondelez International Türkiye, in line with our global values, we aim to carry out initiatives that will add value to the lives of all our stakeholders and disadvantaged segments of society. Undoubtedly, education is the most fundamental need in the development of societies. Building on this, over the past two years we have undertaken collaborations that have been extremely valuable and meaningful for us. These include Tohum Autism Foundation and Turkey Down Syndrome Association. We felt great joy in contributing to the education of children with autism and Down syndrome, whom we believe will achieve better things in life with each new piece of knowledge they acquire, and in supporting their families. Moreover, while continuing our support to schools in the regions where our production facilities are located, this year we also had the privilege of assisting, through AmCham Türkiye's meaningful initiative, 110 children living in an orphanage in Ukraine and their educators to come to Turkey. I sincerely thank all the esteemed jury members for honoring our work with such an award. We will continue to work on the path of education for the smiles on our children's faces."   Mondelēz International is one of the market leaders in gum, candy, gifts and snacks categories in Turkey with many strong brands such as First, Falım, Kent, Olips, Bonibon and Jelibon.
