An ethical process defines an organization's ethical values, standards, and policies. The design of this process not only strengthens the organization's ethical principles but also aims to encourage ethical behavior among employees and managers and establish proper management and investigation procedures for potential ethical violations. This process is continuously updated according to the organization's internal dynamics and external environmental factors.
Ethical process design plays a critical role in protecting an organization's corporate reputation and achieving sustainability goals. Because this process prevents ethical violations and helps the organization build trust-based relationships with all its stakeholders. Moreover, a well-designed ethical process enables early detection of potential risks, allowing the organization to respond more quickly and effectively in crises.
Ethical Code
Establishing an ethical culture within an organization begins with documenting the ethical code. The ethical code helps organizations identify and address potential ethical risks in advance. Additionally, it contributes to creating a common understanding among all organizational stakeholders, laying the foundation for long-term sustainable success.
We provide consultancy services for reviewing existing ethical codes in alignment with global ethical principles or developing new ones from scratch.
Ethics Committee Procedure
Handling reports within the framework of ethical codes swiftly and fairly is a crucial step in establishing a strong ethical culture. Ethical violations should be investigated by an Ethics Committee represented by the organization's top-level executives.
We offer consultancy services for establishing Ethics Committees, drawing on our local and international experience. In this process, we document the structure and functioning of the Ethics Committee while communicating your organization's commitment to ethical principles to all employees, managers, and stakeholders.
Investigation Procedure
The Ethics Committee is responsible for evaluating received reports and conducting investigations as necessary to take appropriate actions. Factors such as the report's source, nature, and potential impact are meticulously assessed during this process.
We offer consultancy services on standardizing the investigation process and clearly defining roles. In this way, we ensure that all Ethics Committee members follow the same steps and conduct a fair process.
