Turkey's commercial vehicle brand Anadolu Isuzu was deemed worthy of the "Benefit Creators for Women" award in the "Joint Future" award program organized by TİSK (Turkish Confederation of Employers Associations) for its efforts to support women in business life. Anadolu Isuzu was awarded in the category of "Diversity and Inclusion" for its "Vocational Development Program" project, which aims to increase the professional development and employment of women in the automotive industry. The “Benefit Creators for Women” Award is given to sustainable projects that support women's employment and entrepreneurship, carry out studies for gender equality, and are implemented to empower women in business life.
Anadolu Isuzu implemented the Vocational Development Program based on the automotive industry's need for a qualified workforce with technical knowledge and skills, and the fact that the labor force participation rate of women in automotive production is only 6.8%. Half of the participants that the Vocational Development program will bring to the sector were selected from women in line with Anadolu Isuzu's goal of contributing to gender equality. While contributing to the employment of women in the production areas needed with the project, Anadolu Isuzu has also underlined the fact that women can work at every stage of production.

Organized by TİSK, each year with a different theme in order to reward projects developed in the field of corporate social responsibility and to disseminate good practices, the Joint Future Award Program was held in six different categories with the theme of "Sustainability" this year.
