Sustainability Approach

Human Rights

Human rights are safeguarded in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and the provisions set forth in applicable national legislation. A zero-tolerance policy is implemented against practices such as child labor, forced labor, and involuntary servitude. The Group companies also expect their suppliers and business partners to comply with equivalent codes of conduct, monitor their practices in these areas, and contribute to necessary improvements where needed.

Working Conditions

Employees are provided with a work environment where their rights are protected, no discrimination based on gender or any other factor is tolerated, occupational health and safety are prioritized, professional development is supported, and equal, inclusive, and fair opportunities are offered to all.

Environment

Climate change mitigation efforts are carried out in accordance with national and international standards. All necessary measures are taken to eliminate or minimize the negative environmental impacts of operations. Electricity is generated from renewable energy sources, projects aimed at enhancing energy efficiency are developed, and sustainable production models are implemented in line with targets to reduce the carbon footprint. Innovative solutions are implemented to reduce water consumption, and strategies are developed to support biodiversity conservation. Waste management and recycling processes are rigorously implemented to conserve natural resources. Potential threats posed by environmental challenges are turned into opportunities through the development of eco-friendly technologies and products. Technological and R&D investments are prioritized, and innovative solutions developed contribute to sectoral transformation efforts.

Fighting Corruption

A zero-tolerance policy is enforced regarding bribery and corruption. This policy applies not only to employees but also extends to all stakeholders, particularly suppliers and business partners.
