As Istanbul Kültür University, we pursue a vision centred on sustainable development. Our primary concern is to foster the advancement of sustainable development as a field and to raise societal awareness in this regard. In this regard, we will take major steps to strengthen cooperation between our university and industry to produce solid outcomes. Besides, we aim to play an active role in Turkiye's green economic transformation process.

Our initiatives in knowledge production, research, and application will play a crucial role in crucial areas such as sustainable growth and development at the micro and macro levels, inclusive development, fair transformation, and economic, social, and ecological sustainability. Through the work carried out in these areas within our university, we aim to develop innovative approaches to sustainable development.

We plan to offer a wide range of services, from education and training to mentorship, R&D and project support, to institutions and organisations that have adopted the principle of sustainable development. In line with these objectives, our university will play an active role in building a sustainable future through both its academic heritage and its network of collaborations.
