This rating is one of the basic conditions in supplier selection. We rate our existing suppliers at least once a year in accordance with our Supplier Environmental and Social Assessment System. We expect our suppliers to continuously improve their environmental and social performance. As RHG Enertürk, in case of being aware of practices not complying with the values of utmost importance for us, we request our relevant supplier to take corrective action and monitor the process accordingly.
