We continue to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by embracing gender equality, one of the most fundamental social problems not only in Turkey but also in the world. We are among the Turkish signatories of the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs), which were established in partnership with the United Nations Global Compact and the United Nations for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). Gender equality is our fundamental principle in all areas from our HR policy to the way we do business and the communication of our office. 67% of our colleagues, 70% of our partners and 72% of our management team are women.
We are aware that we are the trail blazers of gender equality in our sector and with the responsibility of this pioneering role, we are proud to be one of the institutions with the highest ratio of female employees in Turkey and in the world.
