For corporate sustainability, we adopt a transparent, responsible, fair, and accountable governance approach in line with the Communiqué of the Capital Markets Board of Turkey on Corporate Governance Principles. We are working to implement these principles at all levels, and we measure our performance and report the results to our stakeholders.
Each passing day, we are developing our governance practices in line with modern principles and practices. As a result of these efforts, our Corporate Governance Rating, which was 9.20 in 2018, was raised to 9.26 based on the evaluation of our activities in 2019.
Tofaş Board of Directors consists of 10 members, 2 of whom are independent. The duties of the Chairman and the CEO are carried out by different persons. CEO is the only member responsible for executive performance and reports directly to the Board of Directors.
