At Akcakaya Textile, we consider the ability of our employees to freely share their opinions, suggestions, requests, and concerns as a fundamental element of a trust-based, participative, and transparent corporate culture.

We believe that every employee has the right to provide feedback without fear of retaliation, discrimination, or any adverse treatment. All reports and feedback are handled in accordance with the principles of confidentiality, impartiality, and fair evaluation.

Our Feedback Channels

Employees may submit their opinions, suggestions, or concerns through the following channels:

Employee Representatives

Employee representatives play an active role in communicating employees’ requests and suggestions to management. They hold regular meetings, share employees’ feedback with management, and follow up on improvement and resolution processes.

Human Resources Department

Employees may directly contact the Human Resources Department to provide feedback regarding the work environment, working conditions, compensation, career development, discrimination, harassment, or any other workplace-related matters.

Social Compliance Department

Concerns related to human rights, ethical practices, social compliance, JEDI, discrimination, forced labor, child labor, or workplace practices may be reported directly to the Social Compliance Department.

Suggestion System

Employees may share suggestions regarding process improvements, productivity, occupational health and safety, environmental practices, and employee satisfaction through suggestion boxes or digital communication channels. Applicable suggestions are evaluated and incorporated into continuous improvement initiatives.

Ethical Reporting Mechanism

Violations of ethical principles, discrimination, harassment, bullying, corruption, bribery, human rights violations, or practices that conflict with company policies can be reported confidentially and securely. All reports are investigated impartially, and appropriate corrective actions are implemented.

Evaluation Process

All feedback is assessed in accordance with the following principles:

• Confidentiality and protection of personal data
• Impartial and objective review
• Fair evaluation process
• Protection against retaliation
• Timely response and solution-oriented approach
• Commitment to continuous improvement

When necessary, relevant departments and senior management are involved in the evaluation process. Based on the findings, appropriate corrective and preventive actions are planned, implemented, and monitored.

Non-Retaliation Principle

Akcakaya Textile does not tolerate any form of retaliation, pressure, discrimination, or adverse treatment against employees who raise concerns or report violations in good faith. This principle is binding for all managers and employees.

Continuous Improvement

Employee feedback is regarded not only as individual requests but also as a valuable opportunity for organizational development. The information gathered is regularly analyzed, reviewed during Management Review Meetings, and used to improve company policies, working conditions, and JEDI practices.

Akcakaya Textile is committed to fostering a workplace culture that promotes open communication, employee participation, and mutual trust, while maintaining an inclusive work environment where every employee’s voice is heard, valued, and respected.
