(Kobirate Uluslararası Kredi Derecelendirme ve Kurumsal Yönetim Hizmetleri A.Ş.)

Sustainability Principles

Within the scope of the "Communiqué (II-17.1. a) on the Amendment of the Corporate Governance Communiqué (II-17.1)", published in the Official Gazette No. 31262 on October 2, 2020, explanations within the scope of sustainability principles harmonization framework have been added in the reports regarding compliance with corporate governance principles. Although the implementation of these principles is voluntary, the "Comply or Explain" principle renders it obligatory to report whether they have been implemented or not. It has started to be implemented as of the 2021 annual reports, including 2020 data, for the partnerships specified in the 5th paragraph of the 1st article of the Corporate Governance Communiqué numbered II-17.1. After the Doğuş Otomotiv Sustainability Principles Compliance Statement was first published in the 2020 Annual Report, it was included in the annexes of the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Annual Reports and Sustainability Reports. In addition, our Company published the Integrated Sustainability Report for the first time in 2021, updated the Sustainability Principles Compliance Statement, and published in the annex of the 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report. The Doğuş Otomotiv 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report was published for the fourth time as the 16th Sustainability Report in September 2025, presenting 2024 sustainability performance in a comprehensive manner to our stakeholders.

The 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report was prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the reporting standard under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which came into effect in 2024. Given that its most significant stakeholders, the OEMs, are subject to this legislation, Doğuş Otomotiv is among the first companies to report according to this directive.

In the Index section of the report, all indicators of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are presented alongside the indicators and principles of GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), IFRS S1-S2 (International Financial Reporting Standards, S1 General Requirements / S2 Climate-Related Disclosures), TSRS (Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards) S1-S2, SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), United Nations Global Compact, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and Women's Empowerment Principles. Pursuant to Article 88 of the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102, the Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS) came into effect following Board Resolutions No. 21632 and 21634, published by the Public Oversight (Accounting and Auditing Standards) Authority in the Official Gazette dated December 29, 2023 (Issue No. 32414, 1st Repetition). In this context, as of fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, TSRS-aligned sustainability reporting has become mandatory. In fulfillment of this requirement, Doğuş Otomotiv has publicly disclosed its first TSRS-aligned Sustainability Report for the year 2024 in 2025. In line with the applicable legal obligations, an independent assurance statement for the report has been provided by PwC Türkiye.

Our Company, which published its first Corporate Sustainability Report in 2009 and signed the United Nations Global Compact in 2010, became a signatory to the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (UN WEPs) in 2022. For this reason, the UN WEPs indicators are also included in the Index section of the 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report.

Doğuş Otomotiv has included the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals index within the Sustainability Reports it has published since 2017 and disclosed the harmony of its areas of focus and its performances related to the principles that match its sphere of influence regarding 14 of these 17 objectives. In addition, Doğuş Otomotiv follows the methodology suggested by AccountAbility AA1000SES (Stakeholder Engagement Standard) as a guide when determining its priority areas of focus, key stakeholders, and the strategy of dialog platforms it maintains with all stakeholders. The company acts by taking into account the framework and principles of this standard in all its stakeholder engagement-oriented performances.

Additionally, in line with the United Nations Global Compact Reporting Principles and the global sustainability reporting standard requiring independent verification of reported data, the Company has obtained limited assurance from PwC for the past five years. Verified data within the report is marked with an asterisk (*). In addition, for the fourth time since 2021, industryspecific indicators published by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) are included in the index section of the report.

Doğuş Otomotiv will continue to publish reports in line with the SASB Index and will continue to be among the leading companies in complying with the standards developed by IFRS.

Doğuş Otomotiv continues to be a role model in its sector in terms of managing the medium and long-term risks that may arise from climate change and ensuring that necessary process improvements are made. In this direction, in addition to ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, ISO 50001 Energy Management System, ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System and ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems were successfully established in 2021, their certificates were received in the second quarter of 2022, and the transition to the Integrated Management System has been realized. In 2024, within the scope of the Integrated Management Systems, the annual reviews of ISO 9001, 45001, 50001, 27001, and 14001 were conducted, and the certification audits were completed. With the addition of Doğuş Marine investments, the scope of our management systems now covers 14 locations, and efforts are underway to expand this coverage further.

For the past three years, Doğuş Otomotiv has continued to serve as a stakeholder in the @Retail Program, an initiative launched by Volkswagen AG to reduce emissions and foster sustainability awareness across its global partner and dealer network, focusing on enhancing sustainability in retail operations.

Another program initiated by Volkswagen AG in 2023, to raise sustainability awareness and to transform sustainability into a competitive advantage across its global dealer network by monitoring developments, is the sustainability certification program. In 2024, a total of 16 Authorized Dealers and Service Centers were certified within the scope of the program, earning 6 Gold, 4 Silver, 4 Bronze, and 2 Platinum certificates. Detailed information on these certifications is presented under the section titled Volkswagen AG GoToZero RETAIL Program in the 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report.

Risk categorization and initial audits were completed in the Sustainable Supply Chain Program. %78.16 of our suppliers categorized as high-risk underwent an audit, which included an assessment of their compliance with sustainability criteria. In response to evolving regulatory frameworks concerning ethical practices within supply chains, particularly with the introduction of new legislation in Europe and the corresponding updates to standards, Doğuş Otomotiv has initiated the development of a Supplier Code of Ethics, with the goal of publication in 2026.

Doğuş Otomotiv continues to publicly disclose its Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, annual reduction amounts, and targets each year as part of its Integrated Sustainability Reports. Under the new regulatory framework, the 2024 TSRS-Aligned Sustainability Report also includes, for the first time, the Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of selected subsidiaries and affiliates. Additionally, within the process managed by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change, the Company has submitted its application for the Zero Waste Certificate. Doğuş Otomotiv aims to complete the work it initiated in 2023 and obtain the certificate in 2025. Furthermore, with the publication of the 2023 Integrated Sustainability Report, Doğuş Otomotiv released for the first time the results of its study conducted in accordance with the ISO 14046 Water Footprint Standard. The water footprint for 2024 is 346,856 m³ per year. As one of Doğuş Otomotiv's brands, Doğuş Marine Services, which operates in the marina management sector, is directly connected with coastal and marine ecosystems. Accordingly, full compliance with national environmental legislation and related inspections is ensured in these areas. The proximity of Doğuş Marine Services locations to Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) has also been analyzed and disclosed in the 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report.

The workshop component of the program, which was initiated in 2022 to identify Doğuş Otomotiv's risks and opportunities related to human rights, began in 2023 and our company's priorities pertaining to human rights were determined by following a methodology consistent with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

In addition, Doğuş Otomotiv once again has held the areas of priority focus workshop in May 2023. As part of Doğuş Otomotiv's Double Materiality Assessment, a wide range of topics were evaluated, including sectoral reporting requirements, expectations from laws and regulations, stakeholder feedback, global sustainability standards, and the priorities of peers. By analyzing internal and external resources through consultants, potentially significant social, environmental, and economic issues were identified. The company has shared its new goals with stakeholders in the 2024 Integrated Sustainability Report.

11 – EXPECTATIONS FOR 2025

We predict that the total domestic automotive market sales will be around 1,3 million units in 2025. Accordingly, we expect our Company to sell approximately 150 thousand units during the calendar year (excluding Skoda). We also aim to continue our profitability and market share oriented approach for long-term success. While we try to strengthen operational efficiency and continue to monitor the prudent expense management structure in the light of all re-evaluated project and marketing plans, we plan to give more importance to digitalization, mobility, electrification and sustainability projects for our investment plans and expect our spending amount to reach approximately 5 billion TRY. In the light of the effects of geopolitical risks and macroeconomic dynamics, we plan to reevaluate our predictions according to the exchange rate levels and the course of the economic conditions.

These technologies support process digitalization across all key functions, including Sales, After-Sales Services, Marketing, the Value and Care Center (DİM), Spare Parts and Logistics, Human Resources, Finance, and Administrative Affairs, delivering sustainable solutions that enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Launched in 2020 through the collaboration of Human Resources, Digital Transformation, and Corporate Communications, the Digital Competency Development Program marked a milestone in strengthening digital literacy across the Company. Within this scope, the GO-DGTL Academy was established to foster digital awareness and skill-building through training programs on data science, RPA, customer experience, AI, GenAI, IoT, and business intelligence. Maintained continuously from 2021 to 2025, the program has evolved based on employee feedback, with participation rates regularly monitored and reported. Through these initiatives, employees have enhanced their digital competencies and actively contributed to the Company's transformation journey.

Doğuş Otomotiv's data management approach was institutionalized in 2021 through the Data Strategy and Data Roadmap initiatives, developed with the active participation of more than 90 employees across 16 projects. This comprehensive framework ensures the accurate, secure, and effective use of data, regulates storage and disposal processes, improves data quality, and maximizes the benefits of analytics capabilities.

Doğuş Otomotiv continues to strengthen its commitment to information and information security, pursuing initiatives aimed at protecting, improving, and enhancing the processes brought about by digitalization. In this context, the Company's information security strategies have been aligned with international standards to address the risks of the digital world.

As of 2022, Doğuş Otomotiv began managing information security systematically by obtaining the DIN EN ISO 27001 Information Security Management System Certificate. This certification was renewed in March 2025, reflecting the upgrade to the ISO 27001:2022 version. Furthermore, in December 2024, Doğuş Otomotiv added the TISAX (Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange) certification, established by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), to its information security portfolio. Through ISO 27001, the Company ensures global assurance, while TISAX provides sector-specific validation within the automotive industry. Together, these certifications affirm Doğuş Otomotiv's commitment to safeguarding customer data, internal corporate information, and employee data, supported by robust risk management, data protection policies, and audit mechanisms.
