4. COMPLAINTS MECHANISM
The Ethics Committee, along with its function of evaluating violation notifications, is a body that all employees can consult about situations they suspect and dilemmas they encounter regarding ethical issues. It also welcomes all kinds of suggestions from our employees in order to improve ethical awareness in our community and to take protective/preventive measures to prevent ethical violations.
In the notifications made to the Ethics Committee, it is assured by the Company's Ethics Committee that the notification to be made will not have any negative impact on the employee, provided that the employee making the notification does not make notifications out of good faith, and furthermore any kind of notification to be made will be kept strictly confidential.
Complaints and notifications received by the Ethics Committee are investigated within the framework of confidentiality principles and each stage of the investigation is recorded. The Ethics Committee is authorized to receive relevant information, documents and papers from any unit it deems necessary in relation to the matter it investigates. The Committee takes necessary measures to promptly conclude investigations regarding violations, and if deemed necessary for the fair conduct of the investigation, it may receive support from experts and specialists, taking into account the principles of confidentiality. Reported or detected rule violations may be resolved by the Chairman of the Ethics Committee, taking into account their nature and effects, by the company's ethics committee, or they may be referred to the company's disciplinary board or the Ethics Supreme Committee and resolved without the participation of the Ethics Committee.
The Ethics Committee conducts its work with the assumption that each employee acts in accordance with the ethical rules unless the contrary is concretely demonstrated. An employee against whom a complaint or notification is made on the grounds of unethical behavior is given the opportunity to express himself/herself within the scope of the complaint/notification. In addition, during the investigation process, allegations against the employee under investigation are considered to be without violation until they are substantiated concretely.
The Ethics Committee convenes upon the invitation of any of the Committee Members when a notice is received or an opinion is requested. The Committee may invite persons it deems appropriate to the meetings to obtain information on issues deemed necessary. The Chairman of the Ethics Committee is responsible for the implementation of the Ethics Committee's working principles.
