The systematic efforts undertaken to optimise the use of energy sources in production processes, achieve energy savings, and reduce environmental impacts are considered as a comprehensive approach. The company strengthens its sustainable production philosophy by implementing technological investments and process improvements aimed at reducing energy consumption. Within this scope, efficiency-focused applications are being implemented in energy use, and continuous measurement and monitoring activities are carried out to minimise losses. Teleset is also developing strategies to increase the use of renewable energy sources and continuously improving its environmental performance with projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions.

Water MANAGEMENT
The efficient, responsible and sustainable management of water resources used in production processes, the reduction of water consumption and the minimisation of environmental impacts are defined as a set of systematic activities. The company is making improvements to its processes to ensure efficiency in water use and is developing projects to increase reuse and recovery opportunities. In this context, applications that support the reuse of water in line with circular economy principles are being implemented; at the same time, the ‘Zero Waste Water’ approach is being adopted with the aim of protecting water and reducing environmental impacts. Teleset monitors and measures water consumption regularly to keep it under control and steadfastly pursues improvement efforts to protect water resources within the framework of its sustainability strategy.
Waste MANAGEMENT
The assessment of substances generated as a result of production and application activities that have the potential to adversely affect human health and the environment as waste, and the systematic execution of the collection, storage, and recycling processes of such waste are defined as waste management. The company disposes of waste generated from its production processes through competent and licensed companies, while also focusing on minimising waste generation through kaizen activities as part of its sustainability strategy. In this context, Teleset aims to reuse waste and increase resource efficiency in line with circular economy principles. It also resolutely pursues continuous improvement activities to reduce its environmental impact by adopting a ‘Zero Waste’ approach.
Carbon Footprint
By signing the Commitment Letter under the SBTi Commitment, we have agreed to set emission reduction targets in line with the requirements of climate science. This step demonstrates our awareness of the critical role that business can play in minimising the risks that climate change poses to the future of our planet. Our company will set short-term, science-based emission reduction targets in line with the SBTi Criteria and Recommendations and will submit these targets to the SBTi for verification within 24 months at the latest. We also acknowledge that this commitment will be recognised on the SBTi website and the joint websites of the We Mean Business platform, and will also be featured on the UN Global Compact (UNGC) website among companies participating in the UNGC.

Employee rights are one of the cornerstones of sustainable business practices. Ensuring working conditions that respect human dignity is critical both in terms of social responsibility and long-term corporate success. In Turkey, these rights are guaranteed by the Labour Law No. 4857, the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331, and relevant international agreements. At Teleset Group, protecting and developing our employees' rights is one of our primary objectives, in line with our ethical values and sustainability vision.

Occupational Health and Safety
As Teleset Group, the health and safety of our employees is one of the fundamental elements of our sustainability strategy. Within the scope of our Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) policies, regular training sessions and field inspections are conducted to raise the awareness level of all our employees. These practices aim to create a safe working environment by enabling the early detection of risks and the implementation of preventive measures. Findings and actions taken are tracked in workflow programmes. Our OHS processes are carried out in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Law No. 6331 and related legislation, contributing to the development of a work culture that supports the physical and psychological well-being of our employees.
Education and Development
At Teleset Group, supporting the continuous development of our employees is considered one of the fundamental elements of both individual and corporate sustainability. In this context, regular training programmes are planned and implemented in areas such as technical knowledge, personal development and leadership, with a particular focus on Quality Management System (QMS) standards. Our training activities are designed to cover both white-collar and blue-collar employees, aiming to increase the knowledge level of all teams, develop their competencies, and enable them to contribute more effectively to business processes. This approach increases employee satisfaction while also contributing to the long-term success of our company.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
As Teleset Group, we believe that diversity is a strength and we promote an inclusive work culture. By respecting various individual characteristics such as gender, age, ethnicity, mindset and working style, we aim to create a working environment where all our employees have equal opportunities. This approach maximises the contributions of both white-collar and blue-collar employees to the organisation and forms the basis of an organisational structure that supports collaboration, creativity, and innovation. Our principles of diversity and inclusivity are considered an integral part of our sustainability vision.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
As Teleset Group, our understanding of social responsibility is to support the best in society, the environment and education, and to shape our activities accordingly, conscious of our responsibility for a better future. In this context, we are very proud to be the first workplace to support the Z.E.K.İ. (Protected Workplace for People with Intellectual Disabilities) Life Centre, established by the Manisa Organised Industrial Zone. As the Teleset Group family, we have implemented an exemplary practice in Turkey by touching the lives of young people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Within the scope of the project, individuals with disabilities are involved in various stages of the production process; they also take on roles in white-collar positions that match their competencies. The happiness of our new colleagues and their families in the early days has shown us once again how meaningful and valuable this project is.
We hope that this exemplary practice will be rolled out across all organised industrial zones in our country and that more workplaces will offer employment opportunities to individuals with intellectual disabilities.
