People & Culture Practices

We become stronger by saying “People First” in every step we take. We see our team members as values, not as resources; and create opportunities for their personal development.

We develop applications that meet the needs of all our team members as well as the requirements of the future, and desire these applications to bring knowledge, experience and competent people to the sector.

Individual Development Plans

We focus on the potential of our team members beyond their performance and provide an environment where they can receive 360-degrees feedback for their development. With leadership potential inventories, leadership style and organizational climate inventories, and development centre practices, we implement methods where they can increase their awareness and directly determine the focus and direction for their development plans.

One of the areas where we support local development is employment. At Tufanbeyli Power Plant, we have increased local employment by 100% in the last five years. In this sense, we have increased the annual resource transferred to the district.

The three schools named after our company where we organize activities are Enerjisa Soysallı Middle School, Enerjisa Bandırma Science High School and Enerjisa Tufanbeyli Vocational and Technical High School.

Occupational Health & Safety

OHS TRAINING, DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE

Instead of defining Occupational Health and Safety as a priority, we consider it as an indispensable part of our corporate culture adopting the slogan “OHS At All Times”. We review our operations every year, revise the processes when necessary, and raise our standards to a higher level. All of our employees, who define themselves as OHS volunteers, play an important role in creating and maintaining safer and healthier conditions and attitudes.

5S Activities

With the 5S (Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardise and Sustain) technique, which is the baseline level of total productive maintenance, we are moving forward with the goals of changing the thinking system and behaviour of the employees, ensuring early diagnosis of problems, creating a pleasant working environment and “Zero Accident, Zero Defect, Zero Failure”.

DIGITALIZATION IN OHS MANAGEMENT

In addition to our “Always OHS” approach, which enables us to focus on the health of our employees, we are also working to be a pioneer in the sector with our digital applications.

ENSAFE (Occupational Health and Safety and Legal Compliance Tracking Software)
We analyse and evaluate the dangers and risks within the scope of our activities and minimise them accordingly.

YES (Integrated System for Contractors)
It is the system we have developed to involve contractors in Enerjisa Üretim OHS processes and raise awareness.

Fark@ (Mobile OHS Software)
It is the software we use in order to ensure that both our company and contractor employees can record the dangerous situations they observe as well as the near miss events they experience so as to create immediate solutions before further serious incidents occur.

Safety Vision
Thanks to Safety Vision, a software which we developed with a start-up company including using the existing cameras in our power plants, we ensure that OHS processes are measured and reported in real time with an accuracy rate of over 90%.

ACTIVITIES ON COMPLIANCE

As a company, we accept the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, applicable international standards and the rules of Sabancı Holding and E.ON as our compass, and take the Compliance Manual as the key guide for compliance. We prepare all our compliance policies and procedures in accordance with the framework drawn up by this booklet which is announced on our company’s corporate website.

With our rules and policies on compliance, we define the company’s legal responsibilities such as competition law, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and corruption, personal data protection law, as well as our responsibilities to customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and business partners, competitors and society respectively.

For effective and efficient management in terms of compliance culture, we regularly provide interactive trainings to our employees in the digital environment, and follow up on their participation with physical and classroom trainings held both at our power plants and in our head office, in a supportive manner.

Our compliance issues are followed up by our Chief Legal Counsel and Compliance Advisor. The Compliance Advisor receives a report every 6 months from all our departments regarding their compliance with the legal legislation and regulatory regulations they are responsible for. In addition, we provide support to respective departments regarding the follow-up of sanctions, export controls and adverse news that may arise by customers and suppliers through any digital application.

The resolution of compliance violations, actions to be taken and current situation reporting are handled by the CEO, CFO, HR Assistant General Manager, General Counsel, and in the case of ethical rules, at regular meetings conducted every 6 months with our Compliance Board, including the Internal Audit Director.

While audits and investigation activities regarding ethical issues are carried out directly by our Internal Audit Directorate, our Ethics Rule Consultant is authorized for ethical rules.

In 2022, no case of violation of compliance, including bribery and corruption, was detected regarding our company, neither in the audits carried out nor in the complaints and notifications.

As a result of the work of the Legal and Compliance Consultancy, we have joined the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the world’s largest and most comprehensive sustainability initiative, and are committed to comply with the 10 basic principles determined under 4 main headings in all business processes and to report our work in this context every year accordingly.

We became a member of the Ethics and Compliance Association (TEID) in 2022 and continue participating in their events.
