At Smart Solar Technologies, a comprehensive task distribution has been created to manage sustainability processes at strategic and operational levels. This structure starts from the Board of Directors and extends to operational units and includes units such as ESG Risk Management, Sustainable Supply Chain, Environmental Management System and factory organizations. All these units operate under the Sustainability Unit of the Office of the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The Sustainability Committee, established in 2022, plans and executes sustainability activities within the company in coordination with senior management. The Committee undertakes fundamental duties such as:
• Observing environmental, social and corporate governance principles,
• Creating necessary corporate policies and making them operational throughout the company,
• Monitoring and enforcement of compliance with these policies in accordance with the Sustainability Principles Compliance Framework published by the Capital Markets Board in 2022.

Within the scope of our sustainability-focused business model, we started a new project to create a sustainable supply chain in 2023. We attach great importance to the fact that the companies in our supply chain have the same values and awareness about sustainability as Smart Solar Technologies.
We continue our commitment to ensuring that operations in our supply chain are carried out in a manner that respects human rights and the environment; we evaluate the status of our suppliers according to the Smart Supplier Code of Conduct, which we have prepared in accordance with the ten principles of the ILO and the United Nations Global Compact.
We map the companies in our supply chain, conduct risk assessments and then conduct audits within the scope of the Supplier Code of Conduct. In addition, we carry out supplier improvement studies in order to contribute to the sustainability development of our suppliers.
