TUNASET Customs Consultancy Ltd.Şti. was established in 2000 to provide Customs Consultancy Services. It has started to offer National and International Transportation Services to its customers since 2011.

As of 2020, within the scope of both our customers' demands and the developments in the health, pharmaceutical and clinical research sectors, our existing "Quality and Information Security Systems", "Environment, Occupational Health/Safety"

and "Ethics/Compliance Management" requirements were integrated and work on these issues was accelerated.

As of 2023, Sustainability concepts have become increasingly important for our company, therefore the scope of "Ethics and Compliance Management" has been expanded and studies and reporting have begun to be developed under "Sustainability Management".

At this stage, "Sustainability Scope" and "Sustainability Policy" were determined by Tunaset Management, a "Sustainability Working Group" was established in order to manage and develop these studies, and the duties, powers and responsibilities of the working group were determined.

 

As TUNASET, we aim to share our short/long-term goals and our performance in the environmental, social and management fields, our strategic management approach, our relations with our stakeholders and our practices within the scope of our Sustainability Report covering the period 01.January - 31.December 2023.

The uncertainties faced by the world, environmental and social changes bring about inclusive, balanced and innovative business processes that are in line with the trends of the future.

We continue our investments in 2023, despite the operational and financial conditions becoming increasingly challenging and complex for our industry.

 

In this report, we are happy to share with you, our valued stakeholders, our work in the fields of climate crisis and energy management, waste management and circular economy, water management, gender equality and social benefit.

Pursuing corruption by accepting or giving bribes is absolutely unacceptable, regardless of the purpose. It is absolutely unacceptable to cooperate with third parties who want to do business with Tunaset for such a purpose. It is our principle not to continue the business relationship.

 

 

 

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy is an important part of Tunaset's Sustainability Management prepared in accordance with the United Nations Global Compact.

The aim and duty of Tunaset Management is to constantly uphold these policies and provide information to all its employees in order to identify, reduce and manage corruption risks. To raise awareness of its employees about legal requirements, to keep communication channels open to ensure employee notifications, to ensure that all transactions are carried out correctly in official registration systems, It is the duty of the Senior Management to take all precautions and increase their effectiveness to ensure that there are no accounts, funds and assets that cannot be disclosed or recorded for any purpose and that such transactions should not be carried out.

COMPANIES FROM OUTSIDE SERVICES.

 

All rules governing outsourced services and related ethical approaches (KP.05) are strictly implemented in accordance with Outsourced Services Management and sub-Instructions.

Companies and business partners that receive outsourcing services, including support services, are required to comply with policy principles and other relevant regulations, and relationships with individuals and organizations that do not comply are reviewed.

In the selection phase of outsourcing companies and business partners, senior management takes into account criteria such as experience, financial performance, technical competence, as well as morality and a positive history in this field. Relations with companies that have negative intelligence regarding bribery or corruption are reconsidered. In this context, the responsibility for carrying out the necessary research and evaluations lies primarily with the Senior Management.

In agreements and contracts to be made with companies and business partners that have positive intelligence and meet other criteria;

• Ensuring full compliance with the principles specified in the policy and other relevant regulations,

• Ensuring that its employees internalize these principles and act accordingly,

• Ensuring that employees receive policy-related training at regular intervals,

• Conditions are included regarding regular reminders to employees about their notification obligations and encouraging them to notify if they encounter such situations, and provisions are made stating that the employment will be terminated if these are not complied with or if a situation contrary to the policy occurs.

It is primarily the responsibility of Tunaset Senior Management to monitor the compliance of the company or its business partners with the said issues.

 

                                                                                                                    REPRESENTATIVES AND INTERMEDIARIES.

 

Using Agents and Intermediaries can pose a high risk of corrupt practices. This risk can only occur if an intermediary operates in a high-risk country.

Since an act of corruption committed by a third party may be deemed to have been committed by Tunaset, the use of an intermediary must be in compliance with this policy and other procedures on this subject.

No intermediary should be hired without adequate and careful examination to ensure that it will not damage Tunaset's reputation and that it meets the qualifications for the task it will be intermediating.

LAST WORD


 


As Tunaset, in this report, our principles, strategic management approach, relations with our stakeholders and some of our practices within the scope of Sustainability, based on the period of January 1st - December 31st, 2023, are shared with you.


Since Tunaset is not a large-scale production facility and mainly carries out work in an office environment;


-Climate Crisis and Energy Management,


-Waste Management and Circular Economy,


-Water Management,


-Social Benefit


Although long-term Sustainability Goals have not been determined and announced at this stage, our staff is provided with periodic awareness training on relevant issues.


As seen above, our Trucks constitute 79.7% of our Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions, our vehicles and all their equipment are 2021 model years and above, they have Euro 6 engines, they all work in accordance with international transportation legislation, for these reasons, a reduction target in vehicle emissions cannot be determined, Considering that the number of our vehicles will increase in the coming years, it is predicted that there will be an increase.


Since our number of suppliers is very small (usually they are office work and consultancy/audit companies), our Supply Chain Management and Traceability/Assessment issues are carried out in accordance with ISO Standards, and no detailed study is carried out with these companies within the scope of Sustainability.


Participation in Sustainability Initiatives is not foreseen due to the structure of our company, and mandatory or optional Corporate Memberships are not our priority. Since the work of these initiatives is mainly carried out within the scope of gender / women's rights and Tunaset, as stated below, prioritizes only merit due to the possibility of such positive discrimination hurting people, does not consider such memberships necessary.


Considering that the average number of our office personnel is 20 people, a total of 27 man-hours of training were given within the scope of Sustainability in 2023, and 2024 trainings on the relevant subject are also planned. (The Sustainability Training participation rate for office personnel is 100%, and this rate is 55% for all company personnel. 'truck.)


Since our company always prioritizes Talent and Career Management, it does not need to set a target on Gender Equality, Racial Discrimination, Human Rights, Business Ethics and Transparency, considering that 57% of our employees are women.


Since Tunaset always prioritizes Customer Satisfaction and Communication, it continues to improve its work with its experienced staff in the fields of Employee Loyalty and Satisfaction, Environmental and Occupational Health/Safety, Compliance with KVKK Rules, Data Privacy and Cyber Security, Innovation, Anti-Bribery and Corruption and Risk Management.


 


On behalf of Tunaset Sustainability Working Group (SÇG), we thank you for your interest.
