ETHICAL VALUES POLICY

OUR PURPOSE AND APPROACH

As Duyar, we aim to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders while integrating fluids into living spaces perfectly and safely. In this journey, our priority is to build an ethical culture based on our core values.

This policy guides all our employees, business partners and related parties in making ethical decisions. It ensures that our corporate values are reflected in the way we do business.

OUR CORE VALUES

Responsive: We are an organisation that bears responsibility towards people, society and the environment. We take social impacts into account in all our business processes and approach the needs of our employees and stakeholders in a sensitive manner. We act with a high level of awareness on issues such as occupational health, safety and environmental protection. Sensitivity is not only caring about the results, but also about the impacts.

Accessible: We adopt a transparent, open and accessible communication approach at all levels. We value the opinions and suggestions of our employees and encourage their participation in decision-making processes. We see feedback as a responsibility and define accessibility as not only physical but also mental openness. We are ready to hear the voices of everyone who asks questions and offers suggestions.

Reliable: We keep our promises and show consistency in our relations with all our stakeholders. We establish long-term business relationships with an approach that does not compromise on quality. We respect confidentiality and protect our information responsibly. Reliability is not a discourse for us, but a way of behaviour.

Respectful to Society and Environment: We recognise that our business has not only technical but also social and environmental dimensions. We support practices that do not harm nature, use resources efficiently and have high climate sensitivity. We respect human rights, social equality and local communities. We seek long-term success in line with sustainability principles.

Honest: Fairness and integrity are our fundamental principles in the way we do business. We act transparently under all circumstances and do not tolerate unethical behaviour such as bribery, conflict of interest and misleading information. We believe that honesty requires acting in accordance not only with the law but also with conscience.

Innovative: We continuously improve our processes, decision-making and corporate culture as well as our products and services. We believe that ethical behaviour must also remain up-to-date, and we support innovative approaches that will raise awareness.

AVOIDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Duyar employees avoid situations that may create conflicts between their personal interests and corporate duties. Impartiality and objectivity are prioritised in business decisions. It is unacceptable and forbidden for Duyar employees to use the identity and opportunities of the corporation for personal benefits and to engage in behaviours that will deteriorate the image of the corporation.

ANTI-BRIBERY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION

It is strictly forbidden to offer, demand or accept bribes, commissions or undue benefits in our company. No employee may receive gifts, hospitality or similar benefits from third parties. Transparency and honesty are also essential in relations with institutions.

INFORMATION SECURITY AND PRIVACY

Trade secrets, customer information and internal data are carefully protected. Information is shared only by authorised persons for appropriate purposes. Our employees are obliged to maintain their commitment to confidentiality even if they leave their duties.

RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIVERSITY

Duyar provides equal opportunities in the working environment without any discrimination such as gender, ethnic origin, religion, age, disability. Forced labour, mobbing, child labour, harassment and inhumane practices are absolutely not allowed.

GIFTS, HOSTING AND SPONSORSHIP

Only gifts that have symbolic value, are legal and do not damage our corporate identity can be accepted. Cash, gift vouchers or expensive gifts cannot be received/given under any circumstances. Gifts can be accepted if they will not adversely affect Duyar's reputation and image in case they are learnt by external parties. Sponsorship and donation activities are carried out in accordance with the principle of transparency.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND REPUTATION

Our employees avoid content that damages the reputation of the company in their personal social media accounts. Corporate stance and brand value are considered in all posts representing Duyar.

ETHICAL VIOLATIONS AND REPORTING

When behaviours contrary to ethical principles are noticed, employees report this situation to their managers or the Ethics Committee to be determined by the company without hesitation. Reports are kept confidential and employees are protected against retaliation.

RESPONSIBILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION

Compliance with ethical rules is the responsibility of all employees, not just management.
