INSPIRE

We believe that there cannot be an innovative and strong future in an environment without diversity, equality and inclusion.

We do not only raise awareness, but also inspire to act and to make a difference.

We put ”people" in the very heart of the age of change and transformation that we live in. “People” with whom we will create the future, is our greatest value.

Our aim is to establish a viable ecosystem based on the concepts of diversity, equality, innovation, dialogue, sharing, corporate volunteering, intrapreneurship focused on innovation and continuous development.

Our nearly 30 thousand
employees, are our greatest
asset for our target to
attain a better future

We touch their lives, we design the future together.

By providing a safe, healthy and peaceful working environment which encourages team spirit, synergy and dialogue, we aim to provide the perspectives, tools, resources and trust that our employees need.

Our 2022 goals are

We inspire with "Küçük Bi’ Mola” (“A Little Break”).

We support the creativity, productivity, participation, personal development of our employees; we organize activities that raise awareness about different social problems.

500 employees every month.

We organize a "Dialogue Conference" in Istanbul and in cities we operate every month on a regular basis around current social and cultural issues, to provide our employees knowledge, awareness and different perspectives in a continuous learning organization environment.

We believe that the path to continuous
development is keeping the entrepreneurial
spirit alive.

We believe in the importance of generating smart, innovative and creative solutions and of sustainable innovation.
We identify the "issues" of today and tomorrow in parallel with the future strategy of our group for a better world and future.
We set the stage for the realization of original and creative ideas by our colleagues regarding these issues.
We support their innovative and bright ideas through our entrepreneurship ecosystem and create a business environment stimulating common sense and transformation.

We support entrepreneurs

With Zorlu Ventures, "we lend ideas life and entrepreneurs a hand".

We are prepared to be partners of ideas to build a smart future in different fields ranging from health and education to internet of things and artificial intelligence.

Our goal for 2022: to ensure that ideas coming from in-house innovation and open innovation channels are increased by 50%.

We see Gender Equality
as a human right.

We know that, for an ecosystem to emerge where women can participate more and more equally to the workforce, transparency, executive commitment, support for women's leadership, an infrastructure that allows diversity and an inclusive mind-set are necessary.

We work to empower women in all areas of life.

Within the framework of our Smart Life 2030 vision, we formed the Gender Equality Working Group with the participation of our colleagues on voluntary basis.

We commit to equal opportunities
in recruitment.

Equal Opportunities Model

We support the Equal Opportunities Model (FEM), which aims to identify inequalities in different processes such as recruitment, training, career planning and development and to stop gender discrimination in business.

We support gender equality in business, employment and earnings.

Equal Opportunities Project

With the "Equal Opportunities Project" initiated by Vestel Electronics, we encourage individuals with hearing and speech disabilities to take their place in business life providing them various trainings. Within the scope of the Project which started with 11 employees in 2015, today, 170 individuals work on production lines designed for them.

We encourage our employees to participate in voluntary activities.

We cooperate with the Private Sector Volunteers Association (ÖSGD), which aims to transform the competence and potential of human resources through volunteerism into social benefit.

By taking responsibility and making a positive impact on society, our employees do good for themselves and spread happiness.

We recommend an average of 8 hours/year volunteer work per employee and include them in our performance criteria.
