As KOE,

Our vision is to be a global brand, a value creator, and a reliable solution partner in the automotive and defense industries. To this end, we manage sustainability, quality, the environment, information security, occupational health and safety, and energy efficiency with an integrated perspective. We prioritize the needs and expectations of all our stakeholders with a zero-error approach and risk-opportunity-based thinking, aiming to develop and grow together with them. We are committed to full compliance with relevant national/international standards, legal, and other applicable requirements.

To achieve this vision:

• Customer focus and solution partnership: We identify needs together at an early stage and generate measurable value through collaborative design, rapid feedback, and lifecycle management approaches (pre-sales, production, field, and after-sales). We prioritize transparent communication, on-time delivery, and a sustainable total cost of ownership.
• Employee engagement and competence: We maintain a continuous dialogue with our employees and their representatives, systematically incorporating their ideas, suggestions, and feedback into the process, ensuring clarity of roles and responsibilities, and continuously investing in competence development.
• Standardization and on-site quality: To provide products/services that meet customer requirements, we establish standardized work, monitor process capability, and promote a culture of on-site quality and error-free first-time production.
• Information security and business continuity: We protect the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of all information assets; we ensure uninterrupted service through business continuity scenarios and cyber resilience practices.
• OHS culture: We prioritize eliminating hazards at their source, reducing OHS risks, and ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for everyone.
• Climate and environmental management: We assess risks and opportunities using climate scenarios and report on financial and operational impacts. We reduce and separate wastes at their source, increase recycling/recycling, prevent environmental pollution, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We prioritize protecting biodiversity, preventing deforestation, and sustainable water management.
• Energy and net-zero target: We consider energy performance in building, facility, equipment, and process design; increase efficiency, reduce electricity/natural gas/raw material, and natural resource consumption; and contribute to our net-zero emissions target by focusing on renewable energy and low-carbon technologies.
• Sustainable supply and value chain: We link ethics, compliance, and sustainability principles to concrete criteria in our supply and logistics channels.
  1. We consider environmental and social performance, business ethics, human rights, and occupational safety indicators in supplier selection.
  2. We set targets for carbon footprint, traceability, and environmental impact reduction; we support our suppliers with development programs and work together to improve them.
  3. We develop business models that strengthen the local ecosystem.
• Innovation, digitalization: We adopt R&D and digitalization-focused management approaches in our products and processes.
• Management by objectives and targets: We set measurable goals and targets in all processes of our integrated management systems; we provide the necessary information, resources, and training opportunities; we regularly monitor, measure, continuously improve, and transparently share our performance with our stakeholders.
• Review: As senior management we embrace the implementation of the policy, assess its effectiveness through regular management reviews, proactively adapt to changes in legislation, standards, and stakeholder expectations, and uncompromisingly adher to ethical principles.

This policy covers all KOE locations, employees, and processes it controls; we expect our supply and value chain stakeholders to adopt the same approach. Our goal is to create value together, maintain trust, and contribute to a sustainable future.
