Classification

Service
E-Money (45%)

The update describes voluntary ESG sustainability principles for payment and e-money institutions, which is primarily an industry association guidance document rather than regulatory enforcement or specific product/service regulation.

Payment Processors (40%)

The principles apply broadly to payment institutions and e-money institutions, but the update lacks specific regulatory requirements tied to e-money issuance, safeguarding, or redemption mechanics.

Specialism
Data Governance (45%)

While the document mentions data security and cybersecurity risks in the governance section, the primary focus is on voluntary ESG sustainability principles rather than mandatory regulatory cybersecurity requirements.

Cybersecurity (35%)

The governance principles include data security and privacy considerations, but this is part of a broader voluntary sustainability framework rather than a specific regulatory data protection mandate.

TITLE: Turkey's Payment and Electronic Money Institutions Association Publishes Sustainability Principles BODY: The Turkey Payment and Electronic Money Institutions Association (TÖDEB) has published sustainability principles designed to guide the association and its member payment and electronic money institutions in adopting responsible, transparent, and reliable approaches that consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts in their operations. The principles cover the environmental, social, and governance dimensions of sustainability and establish a minimum framework for sustainability understanding and conduct across the sector. TÖDEB applies these principles within its own institutional structure while facilitating their adoption across the industry. The environmental principles (E) address resource efficiency and energy management, green procurement and digital footprint reduction, and waste and carbon management. Member institutions are required to consider energy and resource consumption across all activities, including digital infrastructure, data centres, and office operations, and to develop practices that increase energy efficiency and manage the environmental impacts of digitalisation processes. The social principles (S) encompass financial inclusion and accessibility, employee welfare and diversity, customer trust and digital literacy, and community contribution and stakeholder engagement. Member institutions must ensure safe and easy access to services for diverse user groups, including women, youth, elderly people, persons with disabilities, and rural users, while providing fair compensation, equal opportunities, and safe working environments for employees. The governance principles (G) include ethics, transparency and accountability, combating illegal activities, data security and privacy, compliance and reputation management, and risk and opportunity management. Member institutions must operate in accordance with professional ethics principles, adopt proactive approaches to combating illegal activities, implement necessary technical and administrative measures against cybersecurity risks, and integrate environmental and social risk management into existing risk management processes. Member institutions are expected to integrate these principles into their internal policies and processes. TÖDEB will conduct evaluation and reporting activities to monitor implementation across the sector and share best practices, using realistic, comparable, and practical approaches.
