Yes; we build a framework that respects the group standard and Turkish law at the same time. In German-headquartered multinationals, investigations usually run to a global protocol — interview formats, document collection, reporting templates, whistleblowing channels. Applying those here means holding two local limits: the employee-protective provisions of the Labour Law (No. 4857) on how interviews are conducted, the prohibition on pressure and the procedure for dismissal; and the rules of the Personal Data Protection Law (No. 6698) on processing personal data and, above all, on transferring it abroad.

Transferring employee data to the head office in Germany has to be structured to meet the transfer conditions of both the KVKK and the GDPR. We align the group protocol with those requirements, put the necessary notices and transfer basis in place, and deliver the reports in German or English in a form the head office can use directly. The internal standard is met and local compliance stays intact.
