In our supply chain, we commit to conducting our collaborations with suppliers based on sustainability and social responsibility principles, in respect of environmental and ethical values. Aligned with our understanding of sustainable procurement, we expect our business partners to act in accordance with the principles of reliability, integrity, and professionalism.

In this context, we kindly request that our suppliers and solution partners:

• Adhere to our quality commitment and safety principles by holding internationally recognized certifications in Quality Assurance Management Systems, Environmental Management Systems, and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
• Ensure that their production and supply processes have no harmful effects on the environment and comply with environmental regulations.
• Use resources responsibly, in alignment with the principles of efficiency and the preservation of natural life and ecosystems, without harming the environment. They should also comply with hunting bans.
• Minimize their waste and manage it responsibly in line with our environmental sustainability values. They should prioritize reduced packaging or bulk packaging alternatives in their product designs.
• Offer eco-friendly, energy-efficient, local, and ethically significant alternatives. This includes using recyclable or recycled materials, as well as providing organic, bio, vegan products that are cruelty-free and free from harmful chemical components.
• Support local communities by being domestic or locally based producers/service providers, in accordance with our equality principles.
• Provide products and services that reflect and promote the cuisine, traditions, and culture of our country/region.

We share this perspective with all our stakeholders and suppliers, aiming to create efficient procurement opportunities aligned with the principles of efficiency and excellence. We support efforts to minimize the environmental impact arising from procurement processes.

Aligned with the principles of respectability, resilience, and transparency, we emphasize that our sustainable procurement policy forms the foundation of our collaboration with suppliers. We are committed to increasing our contributions to the environment, society, and economy.
