Social Compliance Policy

Our Social Compliance Policy includes the standards we have developed through teamwork based on our fundamental principles and values, together with all our business partners. Our goal is to make the Social Compliance Policy an integral part of the company culture. Therefore, social compliance standards have been established and implemented.

In addition to creating products and services with these social compliance standards, this policy commits to providing all rights derived from the standards within the framework of laws, adhering to occupational health and safety rules, being environmentally conscious and fostering a workplace where open and honest communication, respect and value among employees are ensured.

The Social Compliance Policy is communicated to all our employees through training, information is provided to our suppliers and our suppliers are evaluated based on these criteria.
