Corporate Governance Codes published by the Capital Markets Board of Turkey in 2003 do include a small chapter on CSR, where it is stated that companies should act in accordance with a company's ethical rules and respect the environment, consumer and the public health.

Other than that, there is no direct CSR related positions in the administration.

Although there is no specific law on CSR in Turkey, there are issues that found a space in two sources. The first source is the national laws. The constitution 172 states confirms the protection of consumers law number 4077 and the labour law number 4587 forces companies to employ disabled people that represents the positive discrimination.  The others are as follows:

1. Public Procurement Law No.4734
2. Environment Law No.2872
3. Union Law No.2821
4. Declaration of Wealth, to combat against Bribery and Corruption Law No.3628
5. The Banking Law No.5411
6. Renewable Energy Law No. 5346

The second source of the legal framework is the international treaties and conventions that Turkey has signed. Some of these treaties and conventions are: Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Convention on the Rights of the Child, OECD Guidelines for Multinational enterprises and conventions of International Labour Organization such as Equal Remuneration Convention (1951), Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention (1958), and Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention (1999), Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining Convention, (1949).

In 2010 CSR Europe's network of national partner organisations has updated the document "A Guide to CSR in Europe" (published in 2009), providing insight into the state of CSR and current trends and priorities in different European countries.
