IHH carries out all its activities, business and transactions related to these activities in accordance with the regulations in the IHH Corporate Handbook. IHH Corporate Handbook and directives have been prepared for all units to work in harmony and to carry out their activities in accordance with their objectives.

Within the scope of reviewing the documents in IHH's hierarchy of norms and completing the deficiencies, internal legislation development activities have been implemented and the Compliance and Risk Unit supports these activities. In this context, IHH's policies, guidelines, regulations and directives were handled from a compliance perspective and risk analysis approach, and improvements were made by taking into account national legislation and international standards.
