the awards and the number of recipients

corporate tradition in Turkey. A total of

3.141 personnel have received this award

since 2004. In other words, one in five peo-

ple has been working at Tekfen for at least

10 years.

culture creates a solid sense of belonging

in the personnel. Ceremonies were held at

plants and work sites abroad, and colleagues

and families of recipients as well as Murat
