Güneş Supap aims to ensure customer satisfaction, offer products in accordance with international quality and standards through the efficient use of scarce natural resources, and contribute to economic and social development. In this way, it aims to become a symbol of reliability, continuity, and respectability on a national and global scale for all its stakeholders – customers, partners, employees, suppliers, dealers – and complies with the law.

The Güneş Supap Code of Ethics is intended to guide employees in their decision-making and conduct while performing their duties.

All Güneş Supap employees are expected to demonstrate behavior and attitudes that support the integrity of the company culture. All employees within Güneş Supap, including temporary workers, are required to comply with the Code of Ethics. All our business partners are expected to adhere to ethical business practices and the implementation principles that support these rules.

Communicating the Code of Ethics to all employees, ensuring they understand its importance, and leading by example in compliance with these rules are primary responsibilities of Güneş Supap’s middle and senior management.

The responsibility of documenting that the latest version of the Code of Ethics and Implementation Principles has been read, understood, and committed to by the employee belongs to the Human Resources department.

As Güneş Supap, we declare that even in situations not explicitly stated in this document, we will act in accordance with our core ethical values. In case of uncertainty, the opinion of the Company’s Ethics Committee should be sought.

2 - PRINCIPLES

Güneş Supap’s success depends on its employees being talented, hardworking, loyal, and responsible.

Our company values include being aware of and acting with sensitivity, care, and responsibility towards people and the environment.

This encompasses the following principles:

• Acting legally and ethically,

• Adhering to general legal and cultural conditions,

• Loyalty to Güneş Supap,

• Maintaining honest, kind, and respectful relationships with colleagues and third parties,

• Maximum sensitivity to environmental protection and occupational health and safety,

• Zero tolerance for discrimination based on gender, race, religion, or other characteristics,

• Honesty, reliability, and professionalism in all business relationships.

These principles can only be effectively implemented if management applies them consistently and employees adhere to them in their relationships with one another.

3 - PERSONAL BENEFIT AND ACCEPTANCE OF BENEFITS

Our company impresses through the performance, quality, suitability, and pricing of its products and services. We select our external providers based on the same criteria.

No personal gain can be requested, accepted, offered, or given in order to receive favorable treatment during the initiation, receipt, or processing of an order.

Under no circumstances should gifts be given or accepted. Exceptions apply only to symbolic gifts given on special occasions, promotional gifts, or gifts that comply with legal and standard etiquette in a given country.

Employees who encounter offers or requests for personal benefit must report them immediately to their supervisor.

4 - USE OF COMPANY PROPERTY

Every employee must use all company equipment (especially tools and machines), as well as all information and communication systems, carefully and for their intended purpose. In particular, information and communication systems may be used exclusively for business purposes. All facilities serving the workplace, workforce, or the company must be kept organized at all times; in case of damage, management must be informed immediately. Company property may not be used for personal purposes or removed from the company premises without the explicit permission of an authorized company representative.

5 - PROTECTION OF TRADE SECRETS AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Our inventions and technical knowledge are of vital importance to the long-term success of our company. Therefore, the development of the creative and innovative abilities of our employees is of strategic significance. This also applies to the protection of our intellectual and industrial property rights against unauthorized access or disclosure by third parties. Accordingly, all employees must comply with appropriate and necessary security standards in their personal correspondence and electronic communications with third parties.

This also applies to confidential information provided by our customers and external suppliers.

Disclosure of prohibited information may result in legal and criminal consequences for both the employee and the company.

6 - CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA AND INFORMATION

All employees are expected to carefully determine, based on accurate information, who should receive which data in order to make necessary decisions quickly and efficiently.

Every employee is aware of the required level of confidentiality when transmitting data.

The protection of personal data is of particular importance. Personal data related to our customers, external suppliers, and employees may only be obtained, stored, processed, and transferred within the limits of the law.

Retention periods stipulated by law and contracts must be strictly observed for documentation purposes.

7 - AVOIDING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND PRIVATE ACTIVITIES

To avoid any conflicts between personal interests and company interests:

• Holding an additional position at another company,

• Engaging in a second paid job,

• Or pursuing entrepreneurial activities

must be reported to and approved by the employee’s supervisor or the Human Resources Officer. If the activity causes a conflict of interest, the same rule applies even if the work is unpaid.

Employees who are not permitted to engage in certain activities due to potential conflicts of interest are also prohibited from encouraging family members, friends, or third parties to engage in such activities on their behalf.

8 - OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Occupational health and safety are core principles of Güneş Supap.

All employees are expected to act in accordance with safety regulations and to be aware of safety-related activities. This awareness applies to all hazards that may arise on the production line or during the use of our products.

All accidents, hazards, exposures, or near misses—whether potential or confirmed—must be immediately reported to the responsible manager.

Each team leader or supervisor is responsible for the protection of their employees and must ensure compliance with safety instructions, provide training, and conduct supervision accordingly.

9 – PRODUCT SAFETY

Our success is determined by the safety and reliability of our products. Our innovative approach and the rapid implementation of innovations place a significant responsibility on all employees involved in product safety and quality management. Legal requirements regarding the development, production, approval, and sale of our products help us guarantee their safety. The Quality Management Department ensures compliance with these legal obligations.

10 – ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Our company adopts environmental protection as a corporate objective, as outlined in laws and regulations. Environmental training is a core element of our employee qualification programs. Our approach to environmental protection includes:

• Protecting the environment, using natural resources efficiently, and avoiding or reducing harm to people and nature.

• Applying these principles throughout product development, design, manufacturing processes, packaging, shipping, process improvement, and the introduction of new systems or products.

• Expecting our customers and especially external suppliers to comply with all regulations and guidelines on protecting people, the environment, and energy resources.

If an incident occurs that could cause environmental pollution, the Environmental Officer must be immediately informed in detail, and reports will be prepared for the relevant authorities.

11 – COMPLIANCE WITH AND MONITORING OF ETHICAL RULES

Each employee must review their behavior based on Güneş Supap's Ethical Rules and become aware of areas where improvement is needed.
In particular, management personnel must act as role models, maintain integrity in daily work, inform employees of their areas of responsibility regarding the core values on which these Ethical Rules are based, and include these rules in staff training.

Management is also responsible for ensuring the implementation of these Ethical Rules. Violations of laws and these rules will not be tolerated. Breaches may result in disciplinary action and have legal consequences under civil, criminal, and labor law.

If an employee is uncertain about the legality of their own behavior or has evidence of suspicious practices in their work environment, they are expected to consult their manager, team leader, or designated representatives. Transparency and trust are especially vital in situations where the company may suffer harm.

12 – RESOLVING NON-COMPLIANCE WITH ETHICAL RULES

Those who violate Business Ethics Rules, company policy, or procedures will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment if necessary. Disciplinary action will also apply to individuals who approve, direct, or are aware of misconduct but fail to report it appropriately.
