Anadolu Hayat Emeklilik brought its approach of equal pay for equal work and equal opportunity among its male and female employees to international standards, and this success was registered with the Equal Pay Certificate issued by the Equal Pay Foundation, a non-profit independent organization based in Switzerland. Within the scope of the certification process launched at the end of 2024, the company's wage data was anonymized and analyzed within the framework of international auditing standards. Statistical analyses, organizational seniority distributions, wage increase and promotion mechanisms, and management practices were evaluated in detail.
