The implementation and maintenance of Antipollution's compliance and corporate governance systems are carried out in collaboration with accredited inspection and certification bodies. These bodies ensure the credibility, impartiality, and validity of the company’s certifications and contribute to the continuous improvement of procedures through regular audits and targeted recommendations. This collaboration forms a cornerstone for strengthening corporate integrity and compliance with governance and sustainability standards.

The implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of compliance and corporate governance systems are conducted by Antipollution’s Compliance Department in collaboration with relevant departments. This team is staffed by specialized professionals with certified training and ongoing education in relevant fields. The department is responsible for coordinating internal audits, organizing regular training programs, and ensuring full compliance with all applicable international standards. The active participation of these professionals ensures the uninterrupted operation of the systems, strengthens corporate responsibility, and cultivates a culture of continuous improvement at all organizational levels.

The initiative is implemented across the entire company, covering a broad scope of application and ensuring consistent adherence to compliance standards.

The standardization of internal processes has improved operational efficiency, enabling faster and more effective management of internal and external audits, as well as performance evaluations.
