SOCIAL COMPLIANCE POLICY

CHILD LABOUR
"Child labour" refers to work that deprives children of their childhood and affects their education, potential, and dignity. It often leads to the disruption of children's physical, mental, social, and psychological development and hinders their education. Child labourers may be exposed to many hazardous conditions, including physical and psychological harm. Therefore, global efforts are made to combat child labour through the ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. As Yurtbay Seramik San. ve Tic. A.Ş., in line with the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, we hereby accept and commit under this policy not to employ child labour in order to ensure the development of children and their participation in formal schooling, vocational training, or certified educational programs approved by the relevant authorities.
A child is defined as any individual under the age of 18, as stated in Article 6/1-c of the Turkish Penal Code No. 5237, ILO Convention No. 182, and ILO Minimum Age Convention No. 138.

FORCED AND COMPULSORY LABOUR (VOLUNTARY EMPLOYMENT)
Yurtbay Seramik San. ve Tic. A.Ş. commits to complying with the "Elimination of Forced Labour and Voluntary Overtime" policy as stated in the International Labour Organization (ILO) standards, Labour Law No. 4857, and the social compliance requirements of the international brands we supply to.

Our aim is to provide a decent working environment for all our employees. Acts of forced labour by or towards any employee, manager, customer, visitor, supplier of goods and services, or non-company personnel will not be tolerated.

Forced or compulsory labour refers to all work or services imposed on any person under coercion, violence, or threat of punishment, and which are not offered voluntarily. The payment of wages or other compensation to the worker does not justify forced or compulsory labour. Free provision of labour is a fundamental right, and employees must have the freedom to terminate their employment contract within the legal framework and with reasonable notice. Forced labour is a violation of fundamental human rights.
Examples of forced labour include:

Working under debt bondage,
Situations where the person has no right to refuse work,
Employment of prisoners or convicts without a court ruling or without direct supervision by a public authority.

DISCRIMINATION (EQUAL OPPORTUNITY APPROACH)
At Yurtbay Seramik San. ve Tic. A.Ş., we aim to provide each of our employees with a safe and healthy working environment, regardless of religion, disability, or gender. Our company upholds the principles of the Constitution of the Republic of Türkiye, which ensures that everyone is entitled to equal rights without discrimination based on language, race, color, gender, political opinion, philosophical belief, religion, sector, or similar grounds. The rights of all individuals are recognized without discrimination based on race, religion, language, nationality, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
All our employees are free to exercise their right to association, organization, and collective bargaining. Management does not prevent employees from joining or representing any trade union or engaging in union-related activities.

WORKING HOURS AND WAGES (SALARY / PAY)
Yurtbay Seramik San. ve Tic. A.Ş. pays its employees wages in accordance with the legal regulations as a minimum. Our practices fully comply with applicable laws and employment contracts concerning wages, working hours, overtime, and fringe benefits.
