Short answer

There is no general obligation under Turkish law yet; however, German customers’ LkSG expectations, member state laws applying to your EU subsidiaries, and group policies make one mandatory in practice.

There is no general obligation under Turkish law yet; however, German customers’ LkSG expectations, member state laws applying to your EU subsidiaries, and group policies make one mandatory in practice.

One concrete anchor for your EU entities: the EU Whistleblowing Directive requires organisations with 50 or more employees to operate an internal reporting channel, and several member states have gone further. So while Türkiye imposes no general mandate yet, a group operating in the EU will usually need a compliant channel there in any event — we design one framework that satisfies both sides.
