“Limitless Energy for Equality”

At TURK PETROLEUM A.Ș, we are committed to creating an inclusive, equitable, respectful, and safe work environment As a signatory to the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles (UN WEPs), we are committed to fostering a workplace where women are equally represented across all levels and functions. In line with this commitment, we strive to ensure that one out of every two new hires is a woman.

Women currently account for 24 percent of our workforce in key areas such as engineering, R-D, innovation, service design, and information technologies.

In support of Koç Holding’s global leadership role at the UN Women’s Generation Equality Forum, we aim to reach 100,000 female students through our “Women in Technology and Innovation Program,” developed in line with our commitment to advancing gender equality in STEM fields.

To achieve our goals, we have taken the following steps:

We have redesigned our training programs and support systems to encompass all job categories, ensuring equal opportunities for every employee. We have guaranteed equal access to communication tools for all team members.

We have reviewed and adapted our work environments through a gender equality lens, making all roles more appealing and accessible to women.

In 2022, we introduced our pioneering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy, developed through the dedicated efforts of our DEI Committee.

That same year, we were included in Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI) for the second consecutive time—an important recognition of our sustained commitment.

Driven by our commitment to gender equality, we continue to run awareness programs aimed at eliminating all forms of bias and discrimination in the workplace.

Human Rights Are Our Priority

We are committed to providing equal career opportunities without discrimination based on gender, language, religion, race, color, age, nationality, or belief.

We take great care to foster and sustain a positive and professional working environment for all our employees. In matters such as recruitment, promotion, career development, compensation, and fringe benefits, we act in line with globally recognized ethical standards. We respect our employees’ right to freely establish or join civil society organizations of their choice.

We understand that a productive work environment depends on cultivating a positive atmosphere. That’s why we are proud to reward achievement through fair and competitive compensation policies, an effective and objective performance evaluation system, and through appointment, promotion, and rotation practices. We believe that equal opportunity is fundamental to strengthening employee engagement. We are committed to building a transparent workplace that encourages collaboration, solidarity, and mutual respect.

We maintain zero tolerance for any form of violence or harassment, and we categorically reject child labor, slavery, human trafficking, and forced labor.

All hourly paid employees are union members and work under the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Since our establishment, we have consistently signed collective bargaining agreements. In workplaces where the Petrol-İş Union is active, we maintain the legally required number of union representatives.
