At Enerjisa Üretim, our ethical values are one of the cornerstones of our corporate culture and guide how we conduct business, make decisions and engage with employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, business partners and other stakeholders. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethical business conduct across all levels of our organization through full compliance with applicable laws and regulations, internal policies and procedures, and business ethics principles. We adopt a zero-tolerance approach towards bribery, corruption and any form of unethical behavior in all of our business dealings, whether involving public officials, private counterparties or any other third parties.
Our Code of Business Ethics (EnEtik)
Our business ethics framework is built around the Enerjisa Üretim Code of Business Ethics (EnEtik), which serves as a guide to ensure that our ethical principles and values are consistently applied in a sustainable manner. The purpose of the Code is to define the business ethics rules and principles governing the relationships and working practices of employees, customers, shareholders and all other stakeholders across Enerjisa Üretim and its subsidiaries, together with the policies supporting these principles, while establishing responsibilities and providing guiding principles for ethical decision-making. It is based on a corporate structure developed to ensure ethical compliance in all our relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
Our ethical compliance framework is supported by a comprehensive set of policies, established procedures, workflow diagrams and process maps that provide clear and practical guidance to all employees on expected standards of behavior. Together, these governance instruments cover conduct areas that are critical to sound governance, including the protection of Company assets and confidential information, the prevention and disclosure of conflicts of interest, compliance with legal obligations, fair and respectful workplace conduct, responsible relationships with suppliers and business partners, the prevention of bribery, corruption and money laundering, the regulation of gifts, hospitality and entertainment, third-party due diligence and the proper handling of facilitation payments. All policies are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in applicable legislation, international best practices and the evolving risk landscape of our operations.
These rules are binding for both our employees and business partners and apply across all internal and external interactions, strengthening the understanding of ethical management throughout our operations and value chain. Accordingly, we require our business partners to commit to ethical compliance through contractual arrangements and ensure the implementation of ethical compliance principles throughout our business processes. As stated in our Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Policy, we embrace the anti-corruption and anti-bribery principles of the United Nations Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Responsible Business Conduct for Multinational Enterprises.
Training and Awareness
Employee awareness is a central element of our ethics and compliance framework. To promote and reinforce awareness of ethical standards, we provide mandatory ethics and compliance training through our e-learning platform, covering key topics such as the Code of Business Ethics, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, conflicts of interest, gifts and hospitality policies, whistleblowing procedures, reporting obligations and the practical implications of ethical decision-making. These training programs are complemented by annual ethics and compliance training sessions organized by our shareholders, Sabancı Holding and E.ON, which all employees are required to complete within the designated timeframes.
To strengthen ethical judgement, we provide interactive e-learning training series incorporating role-playing exercises and scenario-based case studies designed to enhance practical understanding of ethical dilemmas employees may encounter in their day-to-day activities. These scenario-based modules simulate real-world situations, including interactions with public officials, procurement processes and supplier relationships, enabling employees to apply ethical principles in a controlled learning environment. Throughout the year, periodic reminders are issued and training modules are reassigned to reinforce our ethical culture. In addition, in-class training sessions are conducted at our operational sites, including power plants and field offices, to ensure that field-based employees are equally engaged in the ethical compliance program. In 2025, employees completed 154 hours of Compliance, 285 hours of Business Ethics, 418 hours of Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption training. Completion rates of all training programs are tracked and reported to Senior Management, and employees who do not complete mandatory training within the prescribed period are subject to follow-up measures.
To reinforce accountability, employees periodically renew their commitment to our ethical principles by completing assigned training programs and signing the Code of Ethics Compliance Statement. This confirmation supports company-wide adoption of ethical standards, reinforces individual responsibilities and creates a recurring control point through which participation can be monitored, expectations reinforced and awareness gaps addressed.
Reporting Channels
In addition to the Compliance Board’s oversight function, Enerjisa Üretim fosters a culture that consistently strives to act in a responsible and ethical manner, adhering to the principles of respectability and reliability throughout our business processes and decision-making mechanisms. In accordance with our Code of Business Ethics, employees and other stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, suppliers, business partners and public institutions, may report possible ethical violations and unethical actions through either the dedicated Enerjisa Üretim Ethics Hotline Channels or the Compliance Violation Reporting Channels.
Enerjisa Üretim provides employees and other stakeholders with multiple channels to report actual or suspected ethical misconduct, including the dedicated Ethics Hotline. Ethical notifications may be submitted anonymously, and individuals are not required to provide personal data when making a report. Where a notification contains personal data, it is examined in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (PDPL).
Review Mechanisms
Where a potential ethical violation is reported through the Ethics Hotline Channels, the matter is reviewed impartially and confidentially in accordance with the applicable procedures. Where a potential ethical violation is reported through the Compliance Violation Reporting Channels, the matter is referred to the Internal Audit Department, which assumes responsibility for conducting an independent and confidential ethical review and investigation. Upon completion of its review, Internal Audit reports its findings and recommendations to the Compliance Board for determination of the appropriate course of action.
A Workplace Conduct Review Board reviews the outcomes of investigations and determines appropriate disciplinary actions where necessary. This governance structure supports the consistent evaluation of business ethics concerns, fair treatment of all parties involved and timely remediation of confirmed issues.
We maintain a clear non-retaliation approach for employees and third parties who, in good faith, report suspected violations of law, the Code of Business Ethics, internal policies or other compliance concerns. No employee or stakeholder shall be subject to retaliation, discrimination or any adverse consequence as a result of making a good-faith report. All reports are treated with the utmost confidentiality, and the identity of the reporting individual is protected to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Access to the reporting channels and the information received is strictly restricted to the Chief Legal and Compliance Counsel and the Compliance Counsel, ensuring the independence and integrity of the investigation process.
External Commitments
Through the processes managed by the Legal and Compliance Department, Enerjisa Üretim is a member of the Ethics and Reputation Society (Etik ve İtibar Derneği), an organization dedicated to promoting ethical business practices and corporate integrity in Türkiye.
We are also a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact through the Global Compact Network Türkiye. In this capacity, we uphold the UN Global Compact’s ten principles across human rights, labor standards, environment and anti-corruption, and report annually on our progress through the Communication on Progress framework.
These memberships and commitments reflect our dedication to embedding ethical conduct and responsible business practices not only within our own operations but also across our broader value chain and stakeholder ecosystem.
Through our Code of Business Ethics and related business ethics and compliance policies, training programs, reporting channels, investigation procedures, non-retaliation safeguards and governance bodies, we promote responsible and transparent business conduct. The overall framework is designed to prevent misconduct, detect and address violations, strengthen employee awareness and embed ethical decision-making into our daily business activities.
