CASE STUDY 1: Change that Starts with a Conference
How much can a conference change a company? You can come across one of the striking examples of this in the OSFA Group company. Fatih Görgülü, one of the employees of the company, is very impressed by what he hears at a conference on ecological awareness. At the conference, he not only explores what he listens to, but also explores how they can adopt a more environmentally friendly approach in their own companies.
He realizes that optimizing the use of products is not only more environmentally friendly, but also profitable for the company in terms of economy and time. That’s enough to activate him.
Fatih Görgülü turns this idea into a project by meeting with the CEO of the company, Osman Uludağ. Within the scope of the project, he brings the record of all the materials in the company into a table and states for what purpose they should be used. In addition, this table specifically states how each product should not be used. At the same time, he writes the relevant information on a piece of paper and pastes it in the locations of the products. As this stabilizes the position of the materials in the company, it also provides a usage advantage and time savings. In addition, the maintenance times of the products in need of maintenance are also indicated in this table. By conducting this activity, the life of the products is extended, by enabling employees to use the products in accordance with the instructions given in the user manuals.
You can see an example in the photo below;
- How to use? – Use paper only for writing and printing.
- How should you not use it? – Do not apply glue on it. Do not smear other foods such as ketchup or mayonnaise on it. Avoid contact with a liquid. Don’t use the papers to store another waste inside.
- What should you do after using it? – If reusable, set aside as scrap paper. If this paper is waste, please put it in the ” paper waste recycling bin”.

As a result, this approach is successful throughout the company, and employees jokingly warn each other. The CEO of the company, Osman Uludağ, is very pleased with the time, less waste and cost savings.
