– Climate Change Mitigation and Environmental Protection Policy

– Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Policy

Climate change and environmental protection are extremely important issues for us. We have adopted the following principles in our efforts to combat climate change and
protect the environment in all our activities and business processes:

– Conservation of natural resources and their efficient use.

– Compliance with all local and global regulations related to the environment.

– Minimization of water and energy use.

– Close monitoring of all technological developments and minimizing paper usage with a digital law office concept.

– Priority given to environmentally friendly products and services in procurement processes.

– Maximization of recycling mechanisms.

– Encouragement of employees to work remotely via the internet and use of public transportation and bicycles.

– Evaluation of environmental impacts in all business processes and minimizing their negative effects.

– Awareness campaigns on the adverse effects of climate change and contributing to efforts in this area.

We embrace diversity in terms of language, religion, race, ethnic origin, culture, disability, gender, personal and professional achievements, and uphold the principle of
equality. As part of our workplace culture, we value differences among individuals and promote equal opportunities for them to achieve their full potential. Our efforts within this
framework include:

– Embracing diversity in areas such as language, religion, race, ethnic origin, culture, disability, and gender during recruitment, focusing solely on individual abilities excluding
these factors from hiring criteria.

– Ensuring a gender balance among our employees. We ensure that individuals performing the same role work under equal conditions regardless of their personal
characteristics.

– Maintaining zero tolerance for discrimination in our work environment.

– Expecting our business partners to prioritize diversity, equality, and inclusion.

– Providing necessary tools, resources, and support to ensure every individual in our workplace can achieve their full potential.

– Designing our work environment to support a balance between work and personal life.

Based on the principles of volunteerism, we utilize our team members’ pro bono efforts to uphold the fundamental rights and freedoms of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups for the benefit of society. Additionally, we fulfill our debt of gratitude to the community we come from through various activities such as education programs, support for civil society organizations, and social assistance initiatives aimed at raising awareness among these groups.
