She provides consultancy, training, and project development support to institutions on both national and international scales.

In addition, she has completed the \u201cIntegrated Reporting Training\u201d provided by the IR (Integrated Reporting) institution and has been awarded a certificate.
In 1989, Banu Y\u0131lmaz was awarded the research prize by the Foreign Investors Association (YASED) within the scope of the study \"The Importance of Foreign Investment in the World and in Turkey.\" Her analytical publication was published among the YASED publications. (HASANBE\u015eEO\u011eLU Banu \u201cForeign Direct Investments and Expectations in the World and in Turkey,\u201d Review Competition-Honorable Mention, Foreign Direct Investments and Expectations in the World and in Turkey, Istanbul, YASED Publications, No:33,1988, pp.135-150) Within the scope of her doctoral studies, she developed the \u201cPurpose-Oriented Sustainable Co-Creation Model,\u201d which offers an important approach for organizations to develop sustainability projects with all their stakeholders and manage these processes effectively. This model is referenced in academic literature.

Education
\n<\/b>After graduating from Istanbul University Faculty of Business Administration in 1989, Dr. Banu Y\u0131lmaz completed two separate master's programs at Marmara University in two different fields: finance and public relations. She also completed the \u201cContemporary Business Management\u201d program, a four-year joint education initiative between the University of Maine in the United States and the Research and Application Center of Marmara University.
\nShe completed her Master\u2019s Thesis in the field of \u2018Advertising and Public Relations\u2019, in which she conducted an in-depth analysis of the formation processes of global brands. As part of her master's degree in finance, also completed at Marmara University, she researched the financial impacts of production through the approach of \u2018Profit Centers in Companies\u2019.
\nShe completed her doctoral studies at the Communication Department of Istanbul Bilgi University, where she investigated the contributions and jointly conducted projects of Private Sector Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to the United Nations\u2019 \u201cSustainable Development Goals\u201d.
\nIn her research conducted with 13 Private Sector Organizations and 10 NGOs, she examined how private sector companies can develop successful collaborations with NGOs within the scope of sustainability efforts, and how the involvement of institutional stakeholders in sustainability activities benefits both the individuals and their institutions. As a result of this research, she developed a new model based on the \u201cPurpose-Oriented Sustainability Approach\u201d. She currently provides consultancy and training services in the fields of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Sustainability, and ESG.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
