against stakeholder interest and relevancy to our business i pacts takeholder survey results fro all participating countries were weighted e ually even though the nu ber of participants varied fro country to country Internal and external stakeholders were also given e ual weighting Aspect ratings were deter ined using a syste where 5 re ects a baseline level of i portance e uals i portant and 2 e uals very i portant ased on the ratings EY identi ed the top aspects aligned to Global Reporting Initiative GRI G4 Core

ased on these results EY Turkey plotted the issues of ost i portance to EY Turkey and its pri ary stakeholder groups on a atrix EY Turkey then categorized the issues by three seg ents that re ect the EY rating syste

• High materiality There were the issues/aspects that stakeholders and EY Turkey s ustainability Co ittee classi ed as very i portant EY Turkey deter ined these issues to be the ost aterial to the business and the issues on which EY Turkey would produce a full isclosure of Manage ent Approach MA as well as at least one indicator for each aspect

About EY

1 Our Values, http //www.ey.com/TR/en/About-us/Our-values

espite some signs of improvement in the global economy, businesses today continue to face an environment of uncertainty and ambiguity. Economies around the world are recovering, but they are growing at different speeds. Technological innovation — cloud computing, data analytics, social media, mobile technologies — is accelerating. It is disrupting existing business models, creating new industries and challenging business leaders to think about how they can transform their own organizations to suit this digital era. Rising global demand for commodities and natural resources has led to energy security concerns and volatile pricing, but it is also driving innovation in green energy and cleantech and there is growing demand for sustainability data to be reported from a wide range of stakeholder groups.

Marketplace

In a world that s more complex and dynamic than ever before, clients expect to be served by the right team of professionals, regardless of service line or geography. It is not enough to be technically excellent — EY member

rms clients want professional service providers who are connected to their business, responsive to their needs and insightful about their sector and the challenges they face.

To deliver on this, EY people are united around the concept of exceptional client service. Exceptional client service is about EY professionals being the most connected, responsive and insightful in the marketplace.

• Connected means bringing the right people in the right locations, to build trust and enrich client relationships.

• Responsive means the desire and commitment of every person in EY to be proactive, visible and timely.

• Insightful means using EY experiences and a point of view tailored to the client situation to advance their thinking.

Exceptional client service is a fundamental part of how EY member rms operate, both strategically and tactically.

To support exceptional client service, EY is

• Embedding exceptional client service attributes into how member rms measure uality

• Revising training programs and performance evaluations to incorporate exceptional client service as a minimum baseline expectation for EY people

• e ning exceptional client services as one of the six critical metrics for managing its business

Exceptional client service

Client composition

• arge global businesses These companies need advisors that can match their expanding reach and meet their exacting standards. They seek EY s help to evaluate new business opportunities, expand into and out of emerging markets, comply with regulatory rules across numerous countries, coordinate a global workforce and interact with governments.

• Middle-market companies The middle market comprises many mature, stable and pro table companies, often private and intending to remain so. These companies face many of the same issues as EY s largest clients — but without the in-house resources to tackle them. They need EY s support to execute transactions to drive growth and to expand into new markets around the world. All of the complex issues faced by companies in the middle market re uire high-value services that EY member rms provide.

• amily Businesses The importance of family businesses to the global economy is undeniable. According to the European Commission, they account for more than 6 of all companies in Europe and the Americas and about 5 of employment. EY is a market leader in advising and guiding family businesses. With almost a century of experience supporting the world s most entrepreneurial and innovative companies, we understand the uni ue challenges they face and how to address them. Our Global Family usiness Center of Excellence, the rst of its kind, is designed to support family businesses, their owners and their managers, wherever they operate in the world. The Center brings together advisors from the EY global network http //familybusiness.ey.com/our-global-network/ to share knowledge and insight to address family business challenges and provide seamless support to internationally based family-owned companies. In Turkey, we proudly support TA ER Turkish branch of Family usiness Network International . In 2 14 we provided general sponsorship to their annual conference for the second time in a row. We also supported Family usiness related initiatives that came from other organizations such as GY A Young usinessmen Association . In 2 13 we released the report based on the Family usiness survey with nearly 5 ma or family rms in Turkey. The aim of this research was twofold on the one hand, we wanted to learn how the main concerns and strategic goals of family businesses in Turkey are aligned with those EY identi ed in its 2 12 global study; and on the other, to understand what is it that family businesses in Turkey consider key factors behind their growth and success.

As a global organization, EY believes that it plays a vital role in promoting investor con dence in nancial reporting and the world s capital markets. EY recognizes the importance of this role and takes seriously its member rms commitment to provide high- uality professional services.

EY also understands that, apart from its people, its reputation is its most important asset. EY s shared approach, globally consistent policies and practices, independence processes and Code of Conduct strengthen EY Turkey s ability to set the bar for service uality.

Setting the tone at the topEY Turkey s senior leaders are responsible for setting the right tone at the top and demonstrating through their actions our commitment to building a better working world. We also communicate to our people that uality and professional responsibility start with them. Our shared values, which inspire our people and guide them to do the right thing, and our commitment to uality are embedded in who we are and in everything we do.

As part of the global EY organization, EY Turkey s approach to business ethics and integrity is embedded in a culture of consultation, our training programs and our internal communications. Senior management regularly reinforces the importance of performing uality work, complying with professional standards and our policies and leading by example. In addition, our uality review programs assess the

uality of professional service as a key metric in evaluating and rewarding all professionals.

EY Turkey s culture strongly supports collaboration and places special emphasis on the importance of consultation in dealing with complex or sub ective accounting, auditing, reporting, regulatory and independence matters. We believe it is important to determine that engagement teams and clients correctly follow consultation advice, and we emphasize this when necessary.

Code of conductThe EY Global Code of Conduct provides a clear set of standards that guide our actions and our business conduct. It is organized into ve categories containing principles that are to be followed by everyone at EY to guide behavior across all areas of activity

1. Working with one another2. Working with clients and others3. Acting with professional integrity4. Maintaining our ob ectivity and independence5. Respecting intellectual capital

y monitoring compliance with the Global Code of Conduct as prescribed by EY, and through fre uent communications, EY Turkey strives to create an environment that encourages all personnel to act responsibly, including reporting misconduct without fear of retaliation.

The EY/Ethics Hotline provides our people, clients and others outside of the organization with a means to con dentially report activity that may involve unethical or improper behavior and that may be in violation of professional standards or otherwise inconsistent with the Global Code of Conduct. The hotline is operated by an external organization that provides con dential and, if desired, anonymous hotline reporting services for companies worldwide.

When a report comes into the EY/Ethics Hotline, either by phone or internet, it receives immediate attention.

epending on the content of the report, appropriate individuals from Risk Management, Human Resources,

egal or other functions are involved to address the report. All matters are handled by experienced individuals, with oversight from the global Risk Management function. For those matters that are reported outside of the EY/Ethics Hotline, the same procedures are followed.

The Global Code of Conduct provides a clear set of standards that guide each member rm s actions and business conduct. Member rms comply with applicable laws and regulations, and the EY values underpin their commitment to doing the right thing. This important commitment is supported by a number of policies and procedures, including

• Anti-bribery The EY global Anti-bribery Policy provides EY people with direction around certain unethical and illegal activities. It emphasizes the obligation of its people to comply with anti-bribery laws and provides greater de nition of what constitutes bribery. It also identi es reporting responsibilities when bribery is discovered. In FY14, EY also launched an Anti- ribery You web-based training program that is

mandatory for all EY personnel. The 45-minute course helps our people recognize, prevent and resist bribery.

• nsider trading The EY global Insider Trading Policy reaf rms the obligation of EY people not to trade in securities with insider information, provides detail on what constitutes insider information and identi es with whom people should consult if they have uestions regarding their responsibilities.

• ata privacy The EY global Personal ata Privacy Policy sets out the principles to be applied to the use and protection of personal data, including those relating to current, past and prospective personnel, clients, suppliers and business associates and social media accounts. This policy is consistent with applicable laws and regulations concerning data protection and privacy when processing personal data. It provides a foundation for maintaining the privacy of all personal data used by member rms.

• ocument retention EY member rms apply their retention policies to all engagements and personnel. ocuments must be preserved whenever any person becomes aware of any actual or reasonably anticipated claim, litigation, investigation, subpoena or other government proceeding involving a client that may relate to a member rm s work.

In FY14, no monetary nes or penalties for non-compliance with laws or regulations were imposed upon EY Turkey with respect to services we provided to our clients.

All EY Turkey business units were analyzed for risks related to corruption and all our employees received training in EY s anti-corruption policies and procedures. There were no incidents in FY14 in relation to corruption.

Annual transparency reportEY member rms comply with the re uirement of the E 8th irective that statutory auditors of European nion E public-interest entities publish an annual transparency report. EY Turkey also produces an annual transparent report13

In addition, as strong advocates of transparency, in addition to the dozens of countries that publish their own country reports, EY publishes a global report that provides an overview of EY global governance and uality standards.

IndependenceIndependence is fundamental to the audit profession and is essential in all dealings between EY member rms and their audit and assurance clients. Maintaining EY member rms independence is pivotal for achieving audit uality. For more information related to EY independence practices, please refer to the Transparency Report 2013: EY Global.

Client acceptance and service deliveryProviding the right services to the right clients is an essential foundation of EYTurkey s risk management processes.

The EY global client acceptance and continuance policy, which all EY member rms must follow, outlines principles to determine whether to accept a new client or a new engagement or to continue a relationship with an existing client. These principles are fundamental to maintaining uality and independence, managing risk and meeting regulatory re uirements. The ob ectives of the policy are to

• Establish a rigorous process for evaluating risk and making decisions to accept or continue clients or engagements

• Meet applicable independence re uirements

• Identify and deal appropriately with any con icts of interest

• Identify and decline clients that pose excessive risk

• Re uire consultation with designated professionals to identify additional risk-management procedures for speci c high-risk factors

• Comply with legal, regulatory and professional re uirements

In addition, the global EY Con icts of Interest Policy de nes global standards for categories of con icts of interest and a process for identifying potential con icts of interest. It also includes provisions for managing con icts of interest as uickly and ef ciently as possible through the use of appropriate safeguards. Such safeguards range from obtaining the relevant client s consent to act for two or more clients to member rms declining an engagement in order to avoid an identi ed con ict.

The EY Global Tool for Acceptance and Continuance GTAC is an intranet-based system for ef ciently coordinating client and engagement acceptance and continuance activities in line with global, service line and member rm policies. GTAC takes users step by step through the acceptance and continuance re uirements and connects to the resources and information needed to assess business opportunities and associated risks.

The client acceptance process re uires careful consideration of the risk characteristics of a prospective client and several due diligence procedures. efore EY Turkey takes on a new engagement or client, it determines if it can commit

suf cient resources to deliver uality service, especially in highly technical areas, and if the services the client wants are appropriate for the member rm to provide. The approval process is rigorous; no new audit engagement may be accepted without the approval of the rm s Professional Practice irector.

In our annual client continuance process, EY Turkey reviews service delivery and our ability to continue to provide uality service, con rming that our clients share EY Turkey s commitment to uality and transparency. The partner in charge of each engagement, together with our leadership, annually reviews the relationship with the client to determine whether continuance is appropriate.

As an example, the rm s client acceptance and client continuance decisions depend on, among other things, the absence of any perception that a company s management pressures the audit engagement team to accept inappropriate accounting and reporting or uses nancial pressures to undermine audit uality. Considerations and conclusions on the integrity of management are essential to acceptance and continuance decisions.

For more information regarding EY client acceptance and continuance policies, as well as EY s audit uality review process, please refer to the Transparency Report 2013: EY Global.

Data privacyEY Turkey knows that the trust our clients place in us is vital. We view data privacy and information security as fundamental components of doing business. We are committed to protecting information assets, personal data and client information. We believe that a solid data privacy and information security program is an essential component of a leading professional services organization.

The EY Global Code of Conduct stipulates that all member rm personnel must respect and protect the personal and

con dential information received from or relating to their member rms, EY, clients or third parties.

uring the reporting period, there were no data breaches or customer privacy or data loss incidents at EY Turkey.

The EY Global ata Privacy Policy addresses the issues raised by modern data management tools and systems. EY Turkey applies a common set of personal data management principles applicable to all EY member rms, providing a framework for processing personal data in compliance with local privacy laws and professional standards, as well as internal policies.

The following are the principles of the EY Global ata Privacy Policy

• We protect personal data using appropriate physical, technical and organizational security measures.

• We process, store and disclose personal data only for legitimate business purposes. We make sure our contracts with third-party processors contain terms that con rm data is managed according to the same standards we implement across the enterprise.

• We give additional attention and care to sensitive personal data, making sure we respect local laws and customs.

• We ve established appropriate measures to help ensure personal data remains accurate, complete, current, ade uate and reliable.

• Where applicable, we provide notice to individuals with whom EY member rms engage, advising them of the purpose for which we are processing their personal information.

Globally, EY has adopted binding corporate rules CR , in addition to the existing global personal data privacy program, to legitimize international data transfers among our member

rms in compliance with European data protection law. The CR policy is available on EY s global website as a public statement of its commitment to good data management practices.

As part of our CR implementation and demonstration of EY s commitment to protect personal data, EY has developed a global data privacy and information security training course which is being rolled out across member rms worldwide.

Additionally, EY s S member rm is registered with the .S. epartment of Commerce for the Safe Harbor certi cation, which

aims to harmonize data privacy practices in trading between the S and the stricter controls of E nion irective 95/46/EC.

Internally, EY Turkey understands the importance of data privacy and information security awareness among our practitioners. Raising awareness of threats to data privacy and information security is an ongoing and dynamic process for us. It is an issue that EY Turkey takes very seriously, and it is re ected not only in specialized formal training for personnel in each of our service lines, but in numerous other activities to raise awareness in the entire global EY population.

For more information regarding EY s commitment to protect personal data, please refer to Protecting your data: EY’s approach to data privacy and information security.14

Supply chain and procurement As a professional services organization, EY purchases goods and services that enable its people to perform their work and deliver uality services to clients.

EY Turkey s main groups of suppliers are for cleaning, car rental, transportation and printed paper and stationery.

The EY Global Procurement Policy applies to all EY member rms. In addition to re uiring compliance with independence

rules and the rules of doing business in a responsible way, the Global Procurement Policy also re uires that all member

rms, including EY Turkey, evaluate the impact of procurement decisions and encourage suppliers to support our sustainability initiatives.

Global agreement policy EY has a Global Agreement Policy applicable to all member

rms. In addition to re uirements for compliance with the rules for doing business in a responsible way and ensuring our independence when dealing with suppliers, this agreement policy also re uires that we evaluate the impact of our decisions and encourage suppliers to support our sustainability initiatives.

Our agreement policy includes a separate Code of Conduct for our suppliers which includes environmental risk management; compliance with human rights; e ual opportunities policy; occupational health and safety; and the highest ethical standards and zero tolerance to any types of corruption, extortion, bribery or embezzlement. The code also recommends that our suppliers increase their cooperating with local communities to promote these communities social and economic development. In investment agreement clauses, we fully comply with international treaties, legislation and regulations involving human rights. However, we have not yet adopted explicit clauses on this sub ect, nor have we made post-agreement evaluation on critical investments to check compliance with regulations on human rights. We are currently reviewing all agreement drafts and clauses on human rights will be embedded as a standard.

The EY Global Procurement Policy provides a separate Supplier Code of Conduct and includes

• Environmental risk management EY member rms expect suppliers to have an effective environmental policy that mitigates environmental risks; sets ob ectives for minimizing the use of energy, water and raw materials and using renewable resources where possible ; reduces waste and maximizes recycling efforts; measures and monitors performance; and considers the environmental credentials of vendors within their own supply chains. EY Turkey currently does not have the mechanisms in place to capture data relating to the number or percentage of suppliers that were screened using environmental criteria. However, it is something Procurement is committed to exploring and hopes to implement in the future.

• Compliance with human rights We expect suppliers and their contractors to respect the rights of their employees and to comply with all relevant legislation, regulations and directives in the country in which they operate. This includes wages, bene ts and working conditions. Any exploitation of child labor or any other vulnerable groups is completely unacceptable. EY Turkey currently does not have the mechanisms in place to capture data relating to the number or percentage of suppliers that were screened using human rights criteria. However, it is something Procurement is committed to exploring and hopes to implement in the future.

• iversity and inclusiveness Our sourcing decisions, contracts and management of supplier relationships re ect and promote the principles of EY s iversity and Inclusiveness I policy incorporating e ual opportunities . Suppliers must have actionable policies that protect against victimization, harassment or discrimination against any employee or party to the contract due to their sex, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, race, ethnic or national origin, disability, religion, sexual orientation, age or part-time status. Suppliers are re uired to meet the re uirements of any applicable discrimination legislation.

• Occupational health and sa ety Suppliers must abide by all local laws, directives and regulations relating to health and safety in the workplace or in any other location other than the workplace where production or work is undertaken.

• Ethics We expect our suppliers to act with the highest standards of integrity in all of our business dealings. We strictly prohibit any and all forms of corruption, extortion, bribery and embezzlement are strictly prohibited and EY will take immediate action to terminate the contract and seek legal recourse in the event of an offence.

• Monitoring EY member rms expect suppliers to actively audit and monitor their day-to-day management process for compliance with this Code of Conduct.

As part of a global EY initiative, EY Turkey runs a program for clients of all service lines called Assessment of Service Quality, which seeks input on how EY Turkey consistently delivers uality service. It also helps us build strong, mutually respectful relationships at all levels and across all the sectors of our clients businesses. It enables us to monitor the uality of service and to act on feedback received.

The program seeks uantitative and ualitative information through

• Face-to-face interviews with key people in the business, including audit committee chairs and board members where relevant, conducted by senior partners who are independent of any service delivery to that client.

• Questionnaires that are used to gather ob ective feedback about speci c engagements or the overall client relationship.

Contributing to the public discoursey engaging with stakeholders, including governments,

policymakers, regulators and standard setters, EY Turkey and member rms around the world play a part in building a better working world and promoting transparency and trust. EY thereby encourages improvements in corporate governance,

nancial reporting and other matters that affect the world s capital markets.

Creating the highest-performing teams

EY Turkey is proud of EY s culture of teaming. We know from experience and research that our best-performing teams are made up of highly engaged individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds. These teams excel by being adaptable and

exible without losing focus and by welcoming diverse views. They consistently use best-in-class approaches, tools and methodologies; undertake learning, experience and coaching; and are always focused on delivering the best results, rather than on where, when or how the work gets done.

To support these teams, we are committed to continually providing our people with training that develops their skills, challenging client opportunities, a diverse workplace, exibility and choice, and a framework to guide their career development.

“Building diverse, high-performing teams that cultivate a culture of inclusiveness is key to delivering exceptional client service. Differences matter — whether they’re cultural, generational, gender-related or otherwise — and empowering our people to bring their varied experiences to work every day ultimately leads to better outcomes for our teams and our clients.”

Helping EY Turkey s people to learn, develop and lead is fundamental to creating value for our people and our clients. At a global level, EY has a uni ue global career development framework called EY , which focuses on learning, experiences and coaching.

Monitoring and strengthening performanceEY links to EY s global Performance Management and

evelopment Process PM P . PM P helps EY people monitor and direct their performance and align their efforts to the global organization s strategic priorities. One of the most important element of PM P is the conversations EY people have with their counselors as they build their careers.

Tailored trainingEY Turkey provides our people with access to high- uality formal learning through a structured organization-wide curriculum that contains technical content. It is accessible in a variety of formats, including

• Face-to- ace through case studies, lectures and simulations• On-the-job training

• irtual through web-based videos and webcasts

EY s web-based global learning management system enables EY people to exibly organize their learning. They can use it to search for content, to identify where gaps in their learning might exist and to develop a learning map to meet future needs.

In FY14, professionals in EY Turkey were provided with 2 ,106 hours of classroom learning and 6,668 hours of e- earning at an average of approximately 32 hours of learning per employee.

Formal learning plays a crucial role in development. EY Turkey delivers a rich, focused curriculum for our people, recognizing the different roles they play and the variety of experiences and learning they need throughout their development. Furthermore, we continue to increase our focus on coaching and experiences alongside formal learning.

Through EY Turkey s formal learning programs, training activities and other informal learning opportunities, we expose our people to a broad range of sustainability issues. From the EY Global Code of Conduct and anti-bribery and insider-trading policies, to diversity and inclusiveness training and networks, to the skills development opportunities in local communities, we make sustainability a fundamental component of our people s careers and their growth, within and beyond EY. uring the reporting period, health and safety and anti-bribery training were provided to 100 of EY Turkey employees of EY Turkey.15

This year, EY launched World Class, a learning program that enables EY people to receive the same baseline level of high-

uality learning across the globe. One global team is now responsible for developing a learning curriculum that is relevant across the entire organization, as well as speci c programs for each of the service lines. The program blends classroom, mobile, electronic and social learning.

EY Turkey also has tools to capture and manage continuous feedback as well as midyear and annual reviews. We encourage all of our people to re uest real-time feedback. It not only encourages continual improvement, but also informs mid-year and annual performance reviews that all of our employees receive. In FY14, 100 of our EY Turkey people received a formal performance review.

Organize milestone events Those who are newly promoted to senior, manager, senior manager or executive director ranks are invited to milestone events. These face-to-face events follow a global format and combine a mixture of learning and celebration. Members of the leadership team, right up to the EY Global Chairman and CEO, play an active role at these events. For example, more than 2,600 new EY senior managers participated in milestone events in their Areas last year.

The program for newly promoted managers and assistant directors brought together more than 2,300 participants at last year s EMEIA event in the Netherlands and at the Americas event in Orlando. Other events took place across Asia-Paci c and apan.

Celebrating and supporting diverse talentEY Turkey works hard to build a culture that celebrates and encourages diversity and inclusiveness I , and our senior leaders set a positive tone from the top.

iversity has to include the right mix of people within our workforce, including differences in gender, ethnicity, national cultures and subcultures within countries, sexual orientation, disability and generation, among others.

Inclusiveness is the way EY member rms make that mix work. Put simply, it is about creating an environment where each person feels valued, is part of the community and is able to perform at their best.

Inclusive leadershipEY member rm leaders take overall responsibility for I within the country practice. They are accountable for driving this through the business — through hiring, succession planning and promotion — and in leading by example. EY has produced a toolkit to help member rm leaders communicate the importance of leading inclusively to our people, which shows how to turn the diversity of the global EY organization into competitive advantage and how working inclusively will help them build vital leadership skills.

In addition, the eadership Matters Program develops the inclusive leadership capabilities of most senior executives. The program explores the impact of unconscious bias, develops inclusive behaviors and inspires our current and future leaders to practice inclusive leadership.

The workforce has never been more diverse. To build upon our positive momentum, EY is undertaking

Training Globally, EY offers enhanced cultural intelligence training that works across cultural borders on a day-to-day basis. This training explains the importance, and advantages, of greater I. Everyone brings social stereotypes and cultural experiences into how they make decisions, but it is possible to improve decision-making by recognizing the possible unconscious biases that might be at play. To help EY people do this, EY has developed an unconscious-bias toolkit and related training, which more than 11,400 EY people globally have completed to date.

Diversity recruitment EY was the rst organization among the ig Four to assign full-time, partner-level leadership to diversity recruiting. EY is committed to embedding I into the recruiting practices of its member rms.

Active support of internal and external networksEY has networks that help encourage and support different groups of member rm employees. These include women s networks, G T networks, EY parents networks, disability working groups, faith networks, as well as networks that support caregivers and people affected by illness.

Sponsorships and collaboration EY was proud to sponsor the rst G T global summit held by the Out E ual organization. This event brings together delegates from the world s largest businesses to discuss making workplaces safe and e uitable for G T people and to share ideas for the future.

39

Providing tools EY provides its member rms with tools that support I at work. These include GlobeSmart®, which provides business-related cultural information on more than 65 countries, helping people in their day-to-day interactions with colleagues, clients and others from other countries.

Enabling mobility and cross-border opportunities Many EY Turkey people undertake international assignments or transfers in order to ll a business need and to develop their careers.

At a global level, EY has also developed programs and networks to help high-performing women achieve their goals. These programs include

• Career Watch program Senior leaders act as advocates for high-potential women and minorities of either gender. They work to ensure participants receive mentoring and are given challenging client assignments and opportunities to network with other senior leaders.

• Navigator program EY developed the Navigator program, which creates opportunities for female managers to develop their networks and have dialogue around the issues they face in advancing their careers.

• Creating internal networks Networking is one of the best ways women can overcome barriers to success. The EY women s networks exist to share best practices, successes and ideas; create opportunities to connect with sponsors and role models; and bring a sense of community to participants. “Inclusive leaders try to understand what the world

looks like to someone else, and they integrate that diverse perspective into their decision-making.”

Beth Brooke-Marciniak Global Vice Chair, Public Policy, EY Global

Tracking progressSetting targets and tracking progress helps keep EY s focus on increasing I. Re ecting this, the leaders of each geographical area look at the I metrics and actively evaluate leadership and partner pipelines and promotion processes for member rms around the world.

Identifying incidents of discrimination As an organization that celebrates and encourages diversity and inclusiveness, EY is a rm supporter of non-discrimination and would take immediate action to resolve any incidents that arose. In FY14, there were not any reported incidents of discrimination and the rm did not have to take any action in response to an incident of discrimination.

51 of our employees in EY Turkey were female at the year-end. As of FY14, 35 of our partners directors and 38 of managers were women and this represents a strong achievement by the rm when compared to many peer companies in Turkey and other EY companies in the region. As EY Turkey, putting aside our diversity focused working environment, our recruitment and development programs offer many opportunities for women in business.

Some examples from programs we provide for our female employees are given below

EME A Woman eadership Program An overseas program that supports the career plans and personal development of our high-potential female employees who aim to be the leaders of the future.

Navigator Program This program is designed towards strengthening the social connections of women in the company, as well as discussing the potential problems they may face as their careers develop.

Sponsoring Program Our partners are chosen as sponsors to middle management female employees who have high potential, preparing and mentoring them in the process for the next stages of their careers.

EME A iscover Your Potential Program An overseas program for female partnership nominees to represent themselves better during the promotion process.

ecision Processes

• All EY managers go through a training program for effects of insensible/unconscious pre udices in the decision making process.

• Additionally, female male comparisons are done in all recruitment and performance evaluations and importance is given to a fair female male ratio.

• Our female employees ratio of assignments to top priority clients is reviewed. EY Turkey also monitors, and if necessary, intervenes to help ensure a fair female male ratio.

People

EY Turkey wants our people to receive compensation that is highly competitive with prevailing employment market circumstances and business conditions19. We work hard to drive business results so that we can provide competitive remuneration packages to our people. Compensation packages for all full-time employees include

• ife and disability insurance

• Health insurance

Although compensation is an EY Turkey matter, we take advantage of a global compensation administration tool EY has deployed to 80 countries to enable a more accurate comparison of pay data. This is a signi cant step forward in how EY member rms maintain a fair and ef cient reward process for their people. y housing all of its employee reward data in one place, the tool allows EY Turkey to reward professionals and managers, and to determine and apply salary increases and bonus payments more ef ciently than in the past.

Of course, we acknowledge that reward isn t ust about money; it s about colleagues, the career opportunities, the learning experiences, the culture and the working environment.

High-performance teaming relies on creating the right environment for EY Turkey people — one that encourages collaboration and is exible enough to meet the demands of the modern workforce, allowing people to work seamlessly across borders and manage their time effectively.

In response, EY Turkey is developing a trust-based, work-anywhere environment introducing new IT and communications technologies, redesigning and repurposing our of ces, and supporting the health and well-being of our people. These activities fall under the EY Workplace of the Future WOTF initiative and help us improve the way we team, connect and perform across teams and borders.

ltimately, these changes will help EY Turkey to continue to deliver the uality service that our clients deserve and support a culture of exibility and empowerment that helps to attract and retain great people.

19 EY Turkey respects the constitutional right regarding unionization and collective labor contracts. All employees are free with respect to union membership and act of their own free will. uring the reporting period, EY Turkey had no dealings with any supplier who, to the company s knowledge, was in violation of their employees union rights, which is to say of their employees right to oin or not to oin a trade or labor union.

Flexibility and choiceFlexibility is an increasingly important issue for EY Turkey people and potential recruits — speci cally the ability to combine a career with other aspects of their lives such as family commitments, volunteering in the community or with sports, for example.

Seamlessly connecting our peopleProviding EY Turkey people with exible work practices re uires us to support them with the right technology — and the Messaging and Collaboration program is doing ust that.

y accessing new and exciting technological capabilities, our people can connect with each other more easily than ever before. For example, video-conferencing is possible from individuals laptops or mobile devices with ust a few clicks of a button, and cloud technology is supporting enhanced and instant access to global information, networks and knowledge. This means EY Turkey s people have increasing exibility around where and how they work and a greater ability to adapt their working patterns to meet their client and personal commitments.

Supporting health and well-beingHealth and well-being programs are not ust about keeping

t — they are designed and implemented to cover broader issues relating to work-life balance. EY Turkey offers assistance programs that provide counseling and lifestyle support.

SafetyWherever our people are located — at our EY Turkey of ces or at a client site — their safety is our priority. Our EY Turkey s dedicated team oversees our rigorous and clear policies, which have been developed to protect our people and assets against reasonably foreseeable threats that might result in in ury, loss, damage or impairment.

New Ways of Working - EY WorkFitWorkFit may be described as energetic and the well-being of mind, soul, body, and relationships. In short, it means a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Special discounts have been provided for EY Turkey employees in 4 health and beauty centers, 5 gyms, 3 SPA s and 2 weight loss centers. Additionally the gym in our new building offers special discounts for EY Turkey employees.

CSE WorkSmart Program was implemented in Turkey. This is a region-wide program that aims to give employees more exibility in how, where and when they work. For the

rst time, all employees in CSE s Central and South Europe 21 countries can now access the same exible working opportunities and are embracing a workplace of the future in accordance with Vision 2020.

CSE offers a variety of exibility options, and exible working doesn t ust mean part-time working. We offer occasional

exibility, formal exible working arrangements, unpaid leave and social responsibility leave.

rms can make.

• EY focuses on diversity and inclusiveness because it s essential to a better, more resilient, working world.

Empowering Women to Power EconomiesTAS Partner and EY Entrepreneur of the Year Country

eader emet Özdemir from Turkey led a conversation about the economic importance of gender diversity and potential at the World Economic Forum Special Meeting on nlocking Resources for Regional

evelopment in Istanbul on 28-29 September 2014.

Addressing women empowerment at the WEF was so inspiring and exciting. Meeting so many people from different parts of the world with different socio-economic backgrounds, who understood the importance of discussing this topic gave me great hope. And what excited me more was seeing that the ma ority of the audience at the most panel discussion were men

If a nation wishes to prosper, or if a company wants to deliver sustainable success, then that means that the whole world needs to be included, not ust half of it. It s the only way to succeed in today s changing global economy. A lot of research strongly supports the need for gender diversity to generate stronger business results. This research also shows that the leadership behaviors that are more fre uently applied by women improve organizational performance and are most effective in addressing the global challenges of the future.

EY s internal analysis has validated the external research available. We re committed to diversity, and as a result we ve seen better retention, stronger revenue growth and higher pro tability. Together these components are key to delivering the best approach for our clients.

We can all observe more women in leadership roles in EY now. This ourney and awareness has pushed me personally to step forward and sponsor some of my female colleagues and provide support for their careers.

Supporting entrepreneurship Entrepreneurs drive innovation, imagine new business models, develop new products and services, and create obs and wealth for their communities, which results in broader economic growth and other social bene ts in the marketplace. It is for this reason that EY Turkey wants to help entrepreneurs — big or small — achieve their potential.

EY Turkey is proud to support and convene inspiring women through collaboration, sponsorship and networks, covering the public and private sectors. Even before women begin their career, we are helping them access the right skills so that they can become inspiring young women and future leaders.

Globally, and in Turkey, EY helps increase opportunities for women in business in a number of ways.

Worldwide Women Public Sector Leaders Network Women are now seen as the next big emerging market — and one that governments around the world need to account for. However, EY s research shows that, despite women constituting a signi cant part of the overall public sector workforce in many countries, they are signi cantly underrepresented at leadership levels — with only 20 of cabinet positions worldwide held by women. Given that public sector leaders make decisions affecting the welfare of millions of citizens, it is imperative that women hold these positions and are an integral part of this decision-making process, and in a way that re ects the gender balance within society.

EY is helping to address this gender imbalance through

• A Worldwide Women Public Sector eaders Network, which gives women leaders in the public sector visibility of each other, enabling them to connect with other women in similar positions at a global level, and facilitates exchange on leading practices.

• The Worldwide ndex o Women as Public Sector eaders has identi ed certain actions that, when taken together, seem to lead to greater representation of women in leadership roles.

Measuring our carbon footprintAt a global level, EY published its global carbon footprint for the rst time, which will allow EY Turkey and other member rms to set meaningful goals and reduction targets in the future. We know that nearly all of our carbon output comes from two sources of ce energy consumption and business travel. We now have a baseline against which we can compare our performance year-on-year. The table below shows the carbon footprint of EY Turkey during the reporting period, which has been measured for the

rst time. The greenhouse gases included are principally CO2 with minor uantities of CH4 and N2O. Where relevant, emissions were converted to tCO2-e uivalent. 100 year global warming potentials of gases other than CO2 are taken from the IPCC 4th Assessment Report.

Emissions were calculated in accordance with the World Resources Institute / World usiness Council for Sustainable evelopment s The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.

Energy consumption and the resultant emissions resulting from electricity consumption of the of ce common areas shared with other tenants elevators, AC, etc. is only based on the Istanbul of ce due to limitations in the availability of data during the reporting period.

See the ‘ e ning the boundary of the report section for the detailed description of scope boundaries.

Spotlight on the Environment

EY Turkey has signi cantly increased the energy ef ciency of our of ces through the relocation after the reporting period to a new energy-ef ciency head- uarter building in Istanbul. EY Turkey Istanbul head uarters and of ce areas will be awarded the certi cation level in EE corresponding to its high environmental performance. In parallel to the change of EY Turkey of ce space, the business also renewed its Workplace of the Future program to provide exibility for working areas and support different working styles re ecting the diversity of business and cultural atmosphere. In addition, although travel is critical to our business, we are investing in travel alternatives, like Cisco videoconferencing and enhancing our Worksmart program.

Additionally, by globalizing many core business functions, such as IT, real estate and travel procurement, EY is enabling EY Turkey to follow more consistent operational practices that will help reduce our environmental impacts. In addition, EY member rms are increasingly able to share insights and progress around the world through a newly created global sustainable operations network and environmental scorecard. These global initiatives help EY Turkey to improve the environmental sustainability of our operations by leveraging leading practices.

Community

Business travel EY Turkey professionals travel extensively — by automobile and plane — to deliver exceptional client service. usiness travel is responsible for EY s biggest environmental impact. Yet it is the most challenging issue to address given that travel is essential to the EY service delivery model.

We are taking a number of small, concrete steps to help conserve natural resources and reduce our carbon footprint.

For example, any ights to internal meetings have to be approved by the head of the appropriate business unit and any ights to see clients are carefully assessed and discussed with the client.

How EY Turkey is organizedEY s central entity, EYG, coordinates the member rms and promotes cooperation among them. EYG does not provide services, but its ob ectives include promoting the provision of exceptional, high- uality client service by its member rms worldwide. Each member rm is a legally distinct entity.

Environmental boundaryOur carbon footprint is calculated according to the World Resources Institute/World usiness Council for Sustainable

evelopment s The Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Revised Edition. EY Turkey has taken the Operational Control approach to account for its greenhouse gas GHG emissions. irect and indirect emissions sources are included in the scope of our carbon footprint, for which we gathered and analyzed information fromScope 1 irect fuel usage from company-leased car travel and natural gas for heatingScope 2 Of ce electricity consumptionScope usiness travel air travel, mileage reimbursement and taxiEmissions associated with fuel combustion and company-leased car travel are incorporated into Scope 1 since the Operational Control approach has been applied. Emissions related to the use of purchased electricity are incorporated into Scope 2, regardless of the lease agreement. Emissions resulting from business travel, which includes air and land transport are incorporated into Scope 3. Emissions from vehicles used for business travel that are not owned or leased by the company employee owned car travel for business purposes and taxi are also included in Scope 3.

Boundary limitationsFor purposes of the carbon footprint calculation, employees from EY member rms outside Turkey who were assigned to work on pro ects within Turkey were excluded from the scope as their physical location is in a different region. Also excluded from our boundary are companies that have a relationship with EY but have no nancial ties to EY Turkey.
