Code of Conduct On Combating Bribery and Influence Peddling

President’s Message

Can Holding Tectone Group has adopted the principle of conducting its activities with ethics and integrity in all countries where it operates, in compliance with all applicable laws.

In particular, this aspiration is manifested in our unwavering commitment to prevent and detect any risk of bribery and influence peddling that the Group may face in the course of its activities.

Accordingly, Can Holding Tectone Group maintains a zero-tolerance policy on bribery and influence peddling. Every employee within Can Holding Tectone Group, in all relationships with private and public partners, or involving third parties, must be aware that such practices are inconsistent with our values and the way Can Holding Tectone Group conducts its business.

Therefore, all employees are expected to be aware of and comply with our internal standards for the prevention and detection of bribery as set out in the Code of Conduct.

Murat Can

1. What is the purpose of the Code of Conduct to prevent and detect bribery and influence peddling ?

Bribery distorts market movements to the detriment of organizations and people, simultaneously harming the economy, sustainable development and the efficiency of international trade.

In addition to the detrimental impact on the economy, the commission of bribery or influence peddling activities can have extremely serious civil (criminal and criminal) and financial consequences, and those found guilty of such violations can damage a company's reputation and business. In this context, judicial authorities are taking an increasingly strict approach to punishing not only companies but also their employees for bribery and influence peddling activities.

For all these reasons, Can Holding Tectone Group prohibits all forms of bribery and influence peddling by its employees, regardless of their position or geographical location. In particular, this formal prohibition is linked to Tectone's commitment to the United Nation's Global Compact, which establishes the fight against bribery as a universal principle.

There are different situations in which Can Holding Tectone Group may be exposed to any risk of bribery and/or influence peddling. The extent of this risk varies depending on various factors such as the nature of the service provided (project management, project management office (PMO), etc.), the field of activity, or even the geographical location of the place of supply.

This Code of Conduct for the prevention and detection of bribery and influence peddling (Code of Conduct) takes into account the following to enable our employees to deal with situations that pose a risk of bribery.

• Describes the rules to be followed by all employees in the different situations specified;
• Contains suggestions and recommendations on the attitudes and behaviors that should be adopted to handle such situations;
• Draws the attention of employees to the signs that require their vigilance; and
• It sets strict prohibitions for certain behaviors.

2.Who is the Code of Conduct addressed to?

The Code of Conduct applies to all employees of Can Holding Tectone Group, regardless of their geographical location, whether in Turkey or outside Turkey.

Compliance with and enforcement of the rules set forth herein applies to everyone within the scope of their duties and responsibilities.

The Code of Conduct applies wherever Can Holding Tectone Group conducts its business in and outside Turkey. Every legal entity (subsidiary or controlled company) belonging to Can Holding Tectone Group must ensure that the Code of Conduct is followed.

Everyone must be vigilant, not only for themselves but also for those around them, in their team or under their responsibility.

3.1 Bribery

"Passive" bribery is defined as the act of soliciting or accepting an unfair advantage for a person to do (or refrain from doing) something in connection with his or her duty, or to do something to facilitate the performance of that duty.

• Is the intended action appropriate in terms of the Code of Conduct?
• Is the action in question free from personal gain?
• Would I be embarrassed if I heard about the action in question?

4.3. Things to watch out for

• Not taking the intended action if you are at risk of being directly or indirectly involved in a bribery or influence peddling activity.

5.Examples of bribery and influence peddling

5.1 Any unfair advantage

Principle :Bribery involves offering, promising or providing, directly or indirectly, a benefit to a person, usually by inducing him or her to abuse his or her position or authority, in order to obtain an unfair advantage in return or to secure a favorable decision. An unfair advantage can take many different forms and may include, but is not limited to, the following actions in particular

• Payment of money;
• Receiving a discount or refund;
• Contracting for services; or
• Hiring a person as a trainee, on an indefinite-term employment contract or on a fixed-term employment contract.

The assessment of these benefits as acts of bribery or influence peddling depends on the context in which the benefits are provided or promised.

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

Your customer has forwarded you a CV of one of his/her acquaintances who is looking for an internship or job opportunity within the Tectone Group.

You may agree to forward the CV to the Human Resources Department or related departments and indicate to the sender and recipient that the CV will be evaluated according to the standard procedure for recruitment and will not be subject to any preferential treatment in this regard.

Signs to be vigilant

You have received confidential information from a third party regarding a call for tenders by an important client. You have been told this information in order to influence your decision on a subsequent assignment to the forwarder. The third party has indicated that you can use their links to get more information.

You should inform your immediate supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department to get their perspective on this sensitive issue, which may give the impression of unfair advantage.

Prohibited attitudes and behaviors

Upon signing a contract in a foreign country, a client asked you to organize a trip to Turkey to visit your facilities and stay in a luxury hotel with family members.

Upon signing a contract in a foreign country, a client asked you to organize a trip to Turkey to visit your facilities and stay in a luxury hotel with family members.

5.2 Gifts and invitations

Principle : Soliciting, receiving, offering or giving, directly or indirectly, gifts, invitations or benefits of any kind is prohibited. However, depending on the circumstances, gifts or invitations of low value and in accordance with the applicable rules of courtesy may be accepted as long as they are not interpreted as an inducement to offer or obtain an unfair advantage in return or as compensation for an unfair advantage already provided.

The risk of bribery in relation to gifts and invitations is particularly high when the recipient is a public official. We recommend that you always consult with the Legal and Compliance Department before sending or promising anything to a public official.

For more information on our applicable Internal Rules on gifts and invitations, employees are encouraged to refer to the Preventing and Detecting Bribery and Influence peddling, Gifts and Invitations Policy.

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

You plan to send a new year's gift to a customer or invite them to an event that may or may not be sponsored by Tectone Group.

You must ensure that the invitation or gift complies with the Preventing and Detecting Bribery and Influence Peddling, Gifts and Invitations Policy. If in doubt, you should consult your immediate supervisor.

Signs to be vigilant

An employee of your customer with whom you have had a long-standing business relationship has invited you to a sporting or cultural event that would be costly for the customer (e.g. airfare from the company account).

This invitation poses a high risk of being considered an unfair advantage. You should consult your immediate supervisor and, if necessary, the Legal and Compliance Department before responding.

Prohibited attitudes and behaviors

As a call for tenders for an important customer is approaching, you plan to invite an employee of the customer involved in the call for tenders to a luxury restaurant. At the same time, you want to offer this employee a bottle of wine of a high value as part of the invitation.

Such behavior is likely to be characterized as an act of bribery and is consequently officially prohibited.

5.3 “Facilitation" payments

Principle : "Facilitation" payments are low-value payments or benefits to public officials or civil servants intended to facilitate or expedite routine bureaucratic procedures. Such payments are prohibited

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

A foreign government agency demanded that you pay fees as part of an administrative judicial procedure. The fees were set in an official document issued by the administration and, as a result, appeared to be a legal and ordinary act

In the above case, it is ensured that you have made a correct payment. However, if in doubt, you should report the matter to your immediate supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department.

Signs to be vigilant

You have received an email from a Turkish or foreign public official with whom you have been in contact as part of a certification file, sent from a nonprofessional personal email account, asking you to recontact him or her on a private line.

You must inform your immediate supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department as soon as possible. This is unusual behavior and may be an attempt to put pressure on you to make a facilitation payment to obtain the requested certificate.

Prohibited attitudes and behaviors

An employee of a foreign competent authority responsible for the issuance of a certificate asked you to make a payment to a legal entity for the purpose of facilitating the issuance of the requested certificate, without producing any documents from the authority that could be treated as evidence. He stated that he would try to use his influence to expedite the issuance of the certificate in question.

You must refuse to pay this amount and inform your immediate supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department as soon as possible. This is a request for facilitation payment, which is a completely prohibited practice.

5.4 Sponsorship, patronage/political contributions and donations

Principle : Any political contributions from the Can Holding Tectone Group's own resources are prohibited. In contrast, legitimate charitable donations and sponsorship are permitted in principle, provided that the transaction meets the following conditions

• Legal in terms of the relevant applicable law;
• Compliant with the Sponsorship and Patronage Policy of the Can Holding Tectone Group (you can consult this policy on the Intranet);
• Formalized and documented (identification of the beneficiary and the use of the donation/sponsorship/donation);
• It must be clearly and specifically registered in the company account of the relevant legal entity of the Can Holding Tectone Group.

Can Holding Tectone Group must ensure that these transactions are not used to conceal practices that could be characterized as bribery or influence peddling. Any sponsorship, patronage or political contributions or donations, etc. requested from Can Holding Tectone Group must be systematically analyzed in a manner consistent with Can Holding Tectone Group's Sponsorship and Patronage Policy.

In this respect, charitable contributions are not allowed in the context of a call for tenders or commercial or financial settlement involving persons linked to the beneficiary, or if the contribution is requested in cash. Special attention should also be paid to charitable contributions made to organizations linked to public authorities or to clients or potential clients (who may be, for example, executives), as well as to requests or suggestions for charitable contributions made by clients or potential clients; these requests require careful review and approval by the Legal and Compliance Department. 

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

A local public official has asked you to contribute to the benefit of a political party as part of your professional activities.

If necessary, you should refuse to make political contributions, noting that such contributions are prohibited by Tectone's Code of Conduct on preventing and detecting bribery and influence peddling, which is in effect.

Signs to be vigilant

A mayor requested a charitable contribution or sponsorship for the benefit of a local sports association.

Particular caution is required when this request comes from a public official. You should consult with your immediate supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department, and then, with their assistance, determine the underlying objectives of the request to ensure that the request is not for self-interest and that such a charitable contribution would be appropriate.

Prohibited attitudes and behaviors

One of your colleagues, after using his contacts in a risky country to make you stand out in the negotiations for a contract of high commercial value, asked you to provide a "reward" through a foundation he had set up ostensibly for environmental purposes.

Given the scope of this request, you must refuse to take this action and notify your immediate supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department as soon as possible.

5.5 Contacting the service provider or third party intermediary

Principle : The use of external providers is common and necessary in certain circumstances (consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, lobbyists, etc.). However, in certain circumstances this may be used as a way to conceal bribery activities: High payments for services provided or overstated invoices may raise suspicion of a hidden kickback. With regard to this risk, an external intermediary or service provider should be consulted in the following circumstances:

• Pursue a real purpose (the benefit is directed to a real need of the relevant legal entity or project of Can Holding Tectone Group and is in return for a fee consistent with the services provided);
• Undergo an integrity and bribery risk check before establishing a business relationship, as part of an assessment procedure (due diligence), the degree of which varies depending on the risk map;
• After establishing a business relationship, be subject to monitoring for the risk of bribery and influence peddling, depending on the degree of risk identified at the time the relationship was established; and
• Documentation of the nature of services and payments.

It should be noted that the procedure for assessing third parties applies in particular to all third parties with whom Can Holding Tectone Group has a business relationship, including customers or even partners within the framework of a joint venture. The procedure ensures that the integrity of the third party is verified and, where necessary, monitoring measures are taken. The degree of the determinations made varies, in principle, depending on the risk posed by the legal entity, as defined by the risk mapping.

For more information on this procedure, employees can refer to the Third Party Assessment Policy available on the Intranet. 

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

Before engaging a third party service provider, you need to be particularly vigilant and ensure that appropriate due diligence has been undertaken in the selection of the service provider. In particular, you should verify the reputation, background and professional competencies of the third party and ensure that these are documented and archived

Signs to be vigilant

You are considering engaging a consultant for a Project Management Office (PMO) service to be provided to a foreign client. The client has mentioned that they know a consultant who can help you.

Such advice may be concealing a fraudulent agreement between the client and the advisor. You should inform your immediate supervisor and/or the Legal and Compliance Department to help you bring an appropriate resolution.

Prohibited attitudes and behaviors

You have authorized a company to identify a potential acquisition target. The company has requested a payment from you that does not correspond to the standards and requires the payment to be made to an open account of a bank located in a country where banking secrecy applies (e.g. Switzerland, Monaco, Liechtenstein, etc.) or in a location other than the company's domicile, or has not provided adequate disclosure.

You must refuse to take this action and notify your immediate supervisor or the Legal and Compliance Department as soon as possible.

6. Accounting records, documentation and archiving

Principle. Each legal entity of the Can Holding Tectone Group must ensure management and accounting traceability of the records of the different actions and payments performed. This oversight must be transparent, accurate and sufficiently detailed to prove the legitimate nature of the transactions and to avoid any suspicion of concealment of acts of bribery or influence peddling.

Documents showing the nature of the services and actions concerned, including the findings made during the implementation of the procedure for assessing third parties and the identification information of contractors and beneficiaries, should be kept.

For more information, employees are encouraged to refer to the Preventing and Detecting Bribery and Influence Peddling, Gifts and Invitations Policy document available on the Intranet.

A fair remuneration system that is in line with competition and market conditions, sensitive to the principles of equality and fair remuneration system is pursued based on level structures and competencies.

Incentives are provided to increase the motivation of employees and strengthen their loyalty to the organization with the findings obtained from practices carried out for employee satisfaction across Group companies. The Company emphasizes the importance of balancing the private and professional lives of employees through the effective implementation of policies and procedures on work-life balance.

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

You have received an invoice from a supplier. The way the invoice is presented seems unusual to you (it is not printed on commercial letterhead and does not include details of services performed).

You must return the invoice to the sender and request that a proper invoice be sent..

Signs to be vigilant

You have doubts about an invoice that does not correspond to a service performed or possibly over- or under-calculated. In addition, your supervisor has asked that this transaction not appear in email conversations or copies.

You must inform your immediate second line supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department as soon as possible.

Prohibited attitudes and behaviors

1) You are under a lot of pressure from your line manager to terminate a contract with a client for whom you have not completed due diligence. There are also a number of indicators (investigations already carried out, geographical area, etc.) that suggest that the counterparty poses a bribery risk.

2) You are under a lot of pressure to pay even though you have noticed that a particular supplier's procurement procedure was ignored or not followed.

In these two cases, you must refuse to carry out the action and notify your immediate second line supervisor and the Legal and Compliance Department as soon as possible.

7. Conflicts of interest

A conflict of interest arises when an employee has a personal interest that may affect his or her professional judgment and the impartial performance of his or her duties and responsibilities.

Can Holding Tectone Group employees must avoid any situation that creates or could create an actual, apparent or potential conflict between their personal interests and the interests of the group. An employee's personal interest includes any benefit, monetary or non-monetary, provided for him/herself or his/her parents, friends, relatives, persons or organizations with whom he/she has a business or friendship relationship.

Attitudes and behaviors to adopt

If an employee decides that he or she has a potential or proven conflict of interest, he or she must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or the Legal and Compliance Department. If the employee is in doubt about a potential conflict of interest, he or she should consult a supervisor or the Legal and Compliance Department, who will advise him or her to avoid risky situations in order to safeguard both the Group's and his or her own interests.

8. Internal Warning System

Can Holding Tectone Group makes available to all employees an internal alert system that enables them to report in good faith a violation or risk of violation of an anti-bribery law, regulation or a rule in this Code of Conduct. Alerts are processed by the Group's Legal and Compliance Department to be managed confidentially.

You should also report such a warning to other internal and standard warning reporting channels, such as a supervisor, human resources and personnel representatives, if necessary.

Can Holding Tectone Group will not tolerate any retaliation against an employee who makes a good faith report or assists Can Holding Tectone Group in investigating a proven or alleged violation reported through the internal whistleblower system.

For more information on this alerting system, employees are encouraged to consult the Internal Alert Policy document available on the Intranet.

9. Penal sanctions for non-compliance with the Code of Conduct
