Integrity
Transparency
Accuracy, integrity and honesty are fundamental principles in all our business processes. Sunar Yatırım employees are required to comply with the laws of the Republic of Türkiye and the rules of international law in all activities conducted within or outside the company.
When requested, authorised Sunar Yatırım employees are responsible for providing accurate, complete and clear information to all legally authorised public institutions, organisations and stakeholders.
Confidentiality
All Sunar Yatırım employees and stakeholders are expected to protect the confidentiality of information both in their own work and in their interactions with others. Company information that may be considered confidential must not be disclosed to third parties.
All employees and stakeholders are responsible for protecting SUNAR’s research and development information, trade secrets, assets and interests. Where there is uncertainty as to whether information is confidential, it must not be shared with third parties.
All SUNAR employees respect and protect the intellectual property, confidentiality and ownership rights of the company’s stakeholders.
Conflicts of Interest and Improper Personal Gain
Sunar Yatırım employees and stakeholders must not use their positions to obtain personal benefits for themselves, their relatives, family members or any other third party.
Sunar Yatırım employees must not incur debts beyond their financial means or act as guarantors for others. Regardless of the amount involved, employees may not borrow money from the company’s customers or their subordinates, nor may they ask such individuals to act as guarantors on their behalf.
Full-time SUNAR employees may not engage in activities that would classify them as merchants or self-employed professionals. They may also not serve as members of the board of directors or as auditors at other companies. Such activities may only be undertaken with the specific written authorisation of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.
Giving and Receiving Gifts
Sunar Yatırım employees and stakeholders must not request or imply that they expect gifts from companies or individuals with whom the company has business relationships.
They must not accept gifts, money, cheques, property, complimentary holidays, special discounts or any other benefit that could place the company under an obligation.
Gifts offered within customary standards of courtesy, excluding money, cheques and property, must be reported to the employee’s immediate supervisor and delivered to the General Coordination Office. The General Coordinator shall act with the knowledge of the Chairperson of the Board of Directors.
Bribery
Accepting, offering or providing bribes and/or commissions is unacceptable under all circumstances.
Fair Working Environment
Sunar Yatırım provides equal opportunities to everyone. Discrimination on the grounds of age, race, belief, skin colour, gender, language, nationality, marital status, pregnancy, political opinion, disability or religion is strictly prohibited.
This policy applies to recruitment, promotion, termination of employment, dismissal, leave, remuneration and all other employment-related matters.
Harassment and Violence
No form of harassment by any Sunar Yatırım employee is permitted.
Harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours and any other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. It also includes conduct that unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance or has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
Accordingly, psychological harassment, including workplace bullying or mobbing, and acts of psychological violence towards colleagues are also considered forms of harassment.
All Sunar Yatırım employees and stakeholders are required to comply with the company’s ethical principles and codes of conduct. Employees who experience or witness conduct or practices that conflict with these principles and codes should, depending on the circumstances, first report the matter to their immediate supervisor, the highest-ranking manager responsible for their department and/or the Human Resources Department.
Where employees do not receive a satisfactory response to their report, they are free to contact the Chairperson of the Board of Directors or pursue the appropriate legal procedures.
All Sunar Yatırım employees may also report such matters directly, either anonymously or under their own names, through the company’s Suggestion and Complaint Boxes.
Any Sunar Yatırım employee or stakeholder who is uncertain whether a proposed action complies with SUNAR’s Principles and Policies should consult the Human Resources Department.
