Corporate Governance and Good Governance

We embrace a good governance approach based on fair and sustainable growth for all our stakeholders and society, in line with YEO Values and principles of accountability and transparency.

Our corporate governance approach is based on the principles of fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility. We aim to establish and maintain trust-based relationships with all our stakeholders and pursue sustainable growth.

Our board of directors consists of members with different areas of expertise and determines the strategic direction of the company through regular meetings.

We believe that corporate governance is not only a legal requirement but also a strategic value creation tool. In this context, our processes, such as ethical management, risk analysis, compliance, and internal audit, are carried out with a continuous improvement approach.

Sustainability Committee and Sub-Working Groups

Committee

Sustainability management at YEO is conducted by the Sustainability Committee, which reports to the Board of Directors. The Committee is responsible for determining sustainability strategies, monitoring performance, and developing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.

The Committee is led by the Chairman of the Board & CEO, while coordination is provided by the Sustainability Directorate. Members include senior managers from different business units.

Key Responsibilities of the Committee:

  • Defining sustainability strategies and targets
  • Developing carbon neutral and climate action plans
  • Developing ESG practices
  • Conducting sustainability reporting
  • Conducting risk and opportunity analyses

The Committee’s work is supported by sub-working groups, each focusing on specific areas:

  • Climate and Emissions Management Group: Carbon footprint calculations, energy consumption tracking, climate roadmaps
  • Social Benefit and Well-being Group: Employee satisfaction, equality, ethical practices, and stakeholder communication

Thanks to this structure, YEO aims to create long-term value by integrating sustainability goals into all business processes.

Ethical-Management

Our Ethical Management Practices

At YEO, we adopt an ethical management approach based on the principles of integrity, transparency, equality and accountability. All our employees and managers commit to acting in accordance with these values.

Our ethical conduct rules are institutionalised through the YEO Code of Conduct. Every new employee is required to sign a commitment to comply with the ethical rules and is provided with the relevant guidance documents. An Ethics Committee has been established, accessible via etik@yeo.com.tr, for reporting unethical situations. Reports are evaluated on a confidential basis.

Within the scope of our ethical management system:

  • All employees receive regular ethical compliance training.
  • A zero-tolerance policy is applied against anti-competitive behaviour.
  • Full compliance with national and international principles in the fight against bribery and corruption is ensured.
  • Gift acceptance/giving processes are conducted based on transparency and corporate record-keeping.
  • Ethical rules are made sustainable not only through individual behaviour but also through the exemplary leadership of managers and corporate mechanisms.

This system aims to increase employee loyalty and stakeholder trust, identify risks in advance, and ensure long-term corporate sustainability.
