Human Resources Policy

At Zorlu Enerji, we believe that we will shape the energy of the future with the strength, passion and commitment of our employees, whom we see as our greatest asset. It is with this understanding that we formulate our Human Resources policy and practices.

We see diversity, equal opportunity and participation as the foundation of innovation and development; with this in mind, we focus on creating an inclusive work environment for our employees. Thanks to this work environment, our employees have the opportunity to achieve personal and professional development, while at the same time working in a goal-oriented manner on environmental, social and governance issues.

Thus, our employees under the roof of Zorlu Enerji can play an active role in building a sustainable life and a better future with the work they produce. One of the most important priorities of the new generation of human resources, the search for meaning in one’s work, can be met thanks to this inclusive work environment we offer.

Zorlu Enerji is committed to maintaining a business environment supporting continuous development, where its employees can realize their dreams, do what is good not only for themselves but also for the world, and where they can act like an in-house entrepreneur by taking initiative.

For this reason, we choose those who want to work with Zorlu Enerji based on the principle of equal opportunity among candidates who have dreams for the world and themselves, who are open to development, and who we believe will work with us by internalizing our sustainability-oriented corporate culture, in addition to evaluating their competencies related to our current business.

While creating the Human Resources Policy, we act with the awareness that our employees are our biggest stakeholders who will carry our company into the future. In line with our vision of becoming the “Energy Company of the Future”, we adopt human resources policies that prioritize not only being the best in our field but also doing what is good for the world, develop human resources strategies in line with this understanding, touch other’s lives and create meaning, respect people, and always see differences as diversity.

In its business relations and processes, Zorlu Enerji does not discriminate on the basis of gender, age, language, race, ethnic origin, physical build, nationality, sexual orientation, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion and sect or any other factors. Unless necessitated by reasons related to the nature of the work such as the risk of the work, the safety of the employee, legal obligations, no direct or indirect differential treatment due to sex or pregnancy shall be made in the signing, conditions, implementation and termination of the employment contract. Lower wages for work of the same or equal value cannot be agreed on the grounds of gender. Appointments and promotions are conducted on the basis of objective performance criteria without discrimination based on language, religion, gender, race, etc.

At Zorlu Enerji, we strive to make practices that are respectful and sensitive to human rights widespread among our employees and all other stakeholders in the value chain we create. Within this framework, we adopt the Human Rights Policy published by Zorlu Holding as a principle in our internal practices; we are in integrity with all suppliers, business partners, intermediaries, contractors, proxy workers and third parties with whom we do business in terms of their values.
