Bribery and Corruption Prevention Policy

• The purpose of this policy is to clearly outline the commitments and approach regarding bribery and corruption, aiming to maintain the company’s image.
• This policy, which is an integral part of our Business Ethics, aims to provide the necessary information and determine responsibilities and rules for preventing bribery and corruption in all community activities.
• Bribery: It involves providing material or moral benefits directly or indirectly, within the framework of oral or written agreements, to oneself or another person to induce someone to perform an action contrary to the requirements of their duties or beyond the normal course of business. The benefits that could be considered as bribery can take various forms, such as cash, gifts, event invitations or tickets, debt forgiveness, or donations for assistance.
• Due to being a legal offense alongside business ethics, employees are expected to show sensitivity to this issue and consider it as part of their personal duties and responsibilities regardless of their professional life.
• FATIH KALEM has adopted the principle of compliance with laws and regulations, universal legal principles, ethics, and professional standards within the scope of bribery and corruption.
• Our company, under this principle, operates with a “zero tolerance” approach to bribery and corruption and commits to conducting its activities fairly, honestly, legally, and in accordance with ethical rules.
• In order to ensure the protection of the rights of all stakeholders, FATIH KALEM adopts a more sensitive approach to combating bribery and corruption.
• The Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy has been implemented as a necessity reflecting the importance given to this issue.
• Within the scope of the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy, individuals are prohibited from engaging in any kind of legal and ethical behavior that could be considered as bribery or corruption, even if it benefits the Community, or obtaining payment or anything of value for providing or receiving such benefits from other organizations and individuals, even if such practices are common in the industry.
• It is prohibited for individuals covered by the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy to engage in any behavior that could be considered as bribery or corruption in the business sector, regardless of the legal and ethical nature of the benefit, and even if such practices are widespread in the industry.
• The material value of the benefit subject to bribery or corruption or whether anything is done or not for the counterparty in return for the benefit is not important. Acting against the Anti-Corruption and Bribery Policy occurs even if the value of the benefit is very low or the commitment given in response to the offer has not yet been realized.
• In FATIH KALEM; the legal rights of state institutions, suppliers, customers, employees, and other stakeholders are protected. Accounting transactions are recorded completely, accurately, and fairly, and internal control systems are established to prevent off-the-record transactions.
• If a situation such as bribery or corruption is encountered, it should be reported through the notification channels specified in the “Business Ethics Principles and Non-Compliance Notification Regulation.”
