Purchasing Policy

As Birun Hotel Istanbul, in our product purchases, if there is no significantly better alternative in terms of price and quality standards:

• In our business, attention is paid to the energy class (A - D) of the electrical usage type in the purchase of electrical devices.

• Priority is given to the use of local suppliers in the purchases made by our business. If there is a significant price and quality difference between local suppliers and others, others are preferred.

• Attention must be paid to ensuring that products purchased by our business are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. All purchased products must comply with quality standards. From the supplier from whom the purchase is made (at the time of the first purchase), quality, licenses, and other necessary documents are requested.
