Cem Seymen Tells the Story of Transformation That Started in Küçükköy

Cem Seymen Tells the Transformation Story That Started in Küçükköy with SENTRUM

​The Sustainable Energy-Based Tourism Application Center (SENTRUM), implemented in collaboration with Enerjisa Enerji, UNDP and Sabancı University, continues to be an example for Turkey. Within the scope of the project, studies to spread energy efficiency, renewable energy and other sustainable tourism practices in tourism establishments and public buildings in Ayvalık Küçükköy and to create a green destination model continue at full speed. The video series, consisting of 4 episodes prepared with Cem Seymen to explain the studies carried out, includes interviews with Enerjisa Enerji, UNDP Turkey, Sabancı University managers, local business owners, Ayvalık Mayor and Balıkesir Provincial Director of National Education. The studies carried out within the scope of the project are told from the perspective of the stakeholders.

The first episode of the video series, hosted by Cem Seymen, also includes information about the education and awareness studies carried out within the scope of SENTRUM and the renewable energy applications carried out by Enerjisa Enerji in Küçükköy with the İşimin Enerjisi brand within the scope of the project.

We will be an example for Turkey in the field of sustainable tourism

Ebru Taşçıoğlu, Head of Enerjisa Enerji Corporate Competencies and Sustainability Department; “Sustainability is a field that renews itself day by day in the light of the results obtained from science and improvement studies, and therefore requires very close monitoring. As Enerjisa Enerji, with the awareness that we are providing service in a strategically important sector such as energy in Turkey, we constantly review our strategies and work enthusiastically to transform them into solutions that will contribute. With this project that we have implemented with the support of Sabancı University together with UNDP, we are working for people who are aware of their responsibilities, who know their rights and follow them, to work hand in hand to develop the awareness of themselves and their regions in this sense for regional development.

As Enerjisa Enerji, we also plan to integrate renewable energy systems under the roof of İşimin Enerjisi, electric vehicle charging stations within the scope of e-mobility and energy efficiency solutions to the region. With this video series, we aim to both explain the work done in the region since the beginning of the SENTRUM project and to raise awareness about sustainable tourism practices and energy efficiency. When our project is completed, Ayvalık Küçükköy will be a sustainable tourism destination.
