Whistle Blowing System
The Company implements a whistleblowing system (WBS) to prevent fraud and deception. The WBS implementation aims to develop a well-managed violation reporting system. This way, it can be used as a foundation for the Company to conduct the necessary evaluations and follow-ups.
WBS Socialization
The Company conducts socialization with all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Socialization is conducted through management meetings and the Company’s website. New employees are entitled to socialization through the employees’ induction program. One of the material topics in the program is WBS.

4. All reports should be sent directly to all or one of the members of the Whistleblower Committee.
5. For the report submitted via email, it is recommended to use the title ‘Whistleblower Company’ to simplify identification.

WBS Management
In connection with incoming complaints, the Internal Audit Unit looks into evidence from the whistleblower, or related parties, during a regular audit or an audit investigation. The audit or investigation results are submitted to the President Director and the Audit Committee. In the event that there is evidence of a violation, Human Resources and/ or Legal teams handle the matter in accordance with the applicable regulations.
