At Tofaş, we evaluate the sustainability risks of our entire supply chain and operations. Our goal is to anticipate, manage, and observe the environmental, social, and economic risks that may occur in the supply chain. We aim to develop action plans using the most efficient and innovative methods in advance.

We support our suppliers with financial and operational issues to ensure they are informed about sustainability risk management. We evaluate the performance of our suppliers using specific criteria.

Our Financial Risk Management department conducts audits to identify financial risks in our supply chain with the help of an independent third party. At the same time, we identify social and environmental risks in our supply chain through efficient and comprehensive audit reviews. After these audits, we implement development plans to help our suppliers increase their performance.

In addition, the materials used at Tofaş comply with the GADSL (Global Automotive Declarable Substance List) standard and do not contain any prohibited chemicals.
