Yeşim Group Wins Four Awards at the 2025 Just Style Excellence Awards
Yeşim Group has achieved new international recognition for its work in sustainability, innovation, and social impact, earning four awards at the 2025 Just Style Excellence Awards. The company received the Innovation Award for its AI-Powered Inspection System on Knitting Machines, and three additional honors in the Environmental, Diversity, and Social categories for its community-based circular upcycling initiative, Ecollectiv.
