Etik ve İtibar Derneği (TEİD) - Ethics and Reputation Society (TEID)

The Ethics and Reputation Society (Etik ve İtibar Derneği – TEİD) is a nonprofit, non-governmental organization founded in 2010, specializing in integrity risk management and anti-corruption efforts. Its mission is to promote and encourage adherence to internationally recognized business ethics principles within the Turkish business environment. TEİD serves as a reference point for private sector companies, aiding them in implementing business ethics principles, and collaborates with the public sector to foster a socio-economic environment that encourages compliance with these principles. TEİD's vision is to instigate a cultural shift in the Turkish Private Sector and to train compliance officers capable of effectively managing integrity risks for their respective companies. To achieve this, TEİD conducts regular surveys within the business community to gather data on corruption and integrity. Moreover, TEİD develops and delivers courses and online training modules, organizing "Corporate Ethics and Compliance Management Training Programs" to educate and certify professionals in the private sector. TEİD designs tools for compliance officers, devises strategies for stakeholder engagement, executes communication plans, and manages events to enhance visibility and effective communication. TEİD has more than 220 corporate members, collectively generating a total annual income that surpasses 15% of Turkey’s GNP and employing over 1,000,000 individuals. All corporate members are signatory of TEİD’s Declaration of Integrity, which constitutes Turkey’s largest cross-sectoral collective action initiative. TEİD also advocates for the professionalization of ethics and compliance managers. It has created the profession's profile and description in collaboration with authorities. The official national ethics and compliance manager occupational standard was published in the Official Gazette in June 2018. Please check our website for further information.
