In addition, Karsan formed a "Procedure of Zero Tolerance Against Violence" in order to guide its executive personnel in terms of addressing the issues of providing support to its personnel who face violence in their business and/or domestic lives and determining the impact of violence and harassment on the workplace for the greater objective of creating a safe working environment. This procedure encompasses the steps to be taken, and tools and methods to be incorporated to develop the policies and practices aimed at minimizing the impact of violence in business and domestic lives of the female and male personnel of Karsan, which has set social gender equality as one of its core principles.
