Sustainability
Measured, audited and reported to GRI Standards — the detail behind every figure on this page is at the bottom.
We measured it before
we talked about it.
Our greenhouse gas inventory was prepared to ISO 14064-1:2018, covering all three scopes — including the value chain, where most of the footprint turns out to sit.
| Scope 1 — direct | 2,305.64 |
|---|---|
| Scope 2 — purchased energy | 8,436.45 |
| Scope 3 — value chain | 94,784.15 |
| Total (location based) | 105,526.24 |
Independently verified by QSI Belgelendirme to ISO 14064-3, at a reasonable level of assurance.
- Scope 12.2%
- Scope 28.0%
- Scope 389.8%
More than 90% of our footprint sits in the supply chain and the product's life in use — not on our own shop floor. That finding turned decarbonisation from an environmental project into a company strategy: purchased goods and services, the product use phase and logistics are the three dominant sources.
- −42%reduction in Scope 1 + 2 emissions
- 75%of electricity from renewable sources
- +15%minimum plant-wide energy efficiency gain
- ·More suppliers reporting carbon data; product environmental data digitalised
- ·Transition to a fossil-free energy infrastructure
- ·Circular economy practices integrated across all production
- ·Product life-cycle emissions minimised
- ·Residual emissions balanced with high-quality carbon removal
Two plants,
measured separately.
Energy intensity is the clearest measure of production efficiency we have. Across the group it currently runs at 7.64 GJ per tonne of output.
| Gaziantep carpet plant | |
|---|---|
| Total energy consumed | 88,472.29 GJ |
| Renewable energy generated on site | 8,773.85 GJ |
| Output | 13,015.36 t |
| Energy intensity | 6.79 GJ/t |
| Şanlıurfa cotton yarn plant | |
| Total energy consumed | 23,947.60 GJ |
| Output | 1,691.70 t |
| Energy intensity | 14.15 GJ/t |
| Group total · intensity | 112,419.89 GJ · 7.64 GJ/t |
| Gaziantep carpet plant | 6,591.00 |
|---|---|
| Şanlıurfa cotton plant | 7,381.00 |
| Total | 13,972.00 |
No surface water or groundwater is abstracted at either site. Water recovery and reuse is an open improvement area — reported as zero rather than left out.
Yarn production shows a markedly higher energy intensity than weaving. Efficiency projects for the coming period are focused there.
Waste is a resource
that hasn't moved yet.
Of the 577.12 tonnes of waste generated at the Gaziantep plant, everything except 11 kilograms of battery waste goes to recovery.
| Non-renewable | |
|---|---|
| Plastic — PP and PET yarn | 18,602.88 |
| Chemicals — dye, finish | 2,643.41 |
| Metal — spares and maintenance | 1.50 |
| Renewable | |
| Organic — cotton, Şanlıurfa | 3,328.70 |
| Raw materials subtotal | 23,576.49 |
| Packaging — wood, plastic, paper | 2,893.92 |
| Total materials | 26,894 |
| Textile fibre waste (040222) → recovery | 435.97 |
|---|---|
| Paper & carton packaging (150101) → recycled | 138.72 |
| Mineral hydraulic oils (130110) → recovery | 2.42 |
| Batteries & accumulators (200133) → disposal | 0.011 |
| Total generated | 577.12 |
- ·Detailed composition analysis of textile fibre waste, to find higher value-added upcycling routes.
- ·Complete certification for Zero Waste or Zero Waste to Landfill at the Gaziantep plant, formalising the recovery rate already achieved.
The questions your
compliance team asks.
Carpet and textile sit among the sectors with the highest labour-rights risk worldwide. We treat that as a reason to document, not to stay quiet.
| Verified cases of forced labour | 0 |
|---|---|
| Complaints from employees or stakeholders | 0 |
| Cases raised and verified via the ethics hotline | 0 |
| Suppliers audited on human rights | 15 |
| Employees trained on labour rights — white collar / blue collar | 100% / 80% |
| Violations found in our own operations | 0 |
|---|---|
| Young workers employed (aged 15–18) | 0 |
| Identity and age verification at recruitment | 100% |
- Voluntary workNo employee is made to do work they have not agreed to. Candidates choose freely during recruitment.
- Documents stay with the workerIdentity papers, passports and personal documents are never held by the company, under any circumstances.
- Overtime by consent, paidOvertime happens only with the employee's consent, never exceeds legal limits, and is paid within the legal framework.
- Contracts in the worker's own languageEmployment contracts are drawn up in the employee's own language or in a form they can understand.
- Written into supplier contractsEvery supplier contract carries explicit clauses against forced and compulsory labour. Raw material purchases from higher-risk regions carry additional control procedures.
- An anonymous ethics hotlineHuman Resources runs an ethics line through which employees can raise concerns anonymously.
All employment processes follow national labour law and international human rights standards — ILO Conventions and the UN Global Compact.

What you share with us
stays with us.
Two of our 8 certifications are about information security — ISO 27001 and ISO 27701. For a supplier that sees your ranges, your volumes and your margins, that is not a formality.
Customer data is processed for product delivery, after-sales service, customer relationship management and — only with explicit consent — marketing. It is not shared with third parties for any other purpose.
Access rights are defined by role and duty; only authorised staff can reach the relevant records. Every access event is logged and monitored, so unauthorised attempts are caught early.
Encryption protects data both while it moves and while it is stored. The security infrastructure is kept current, with periodic security tests and vulnerability scans across the systems.
Every employee who touches customer data receives regular data protection and information security awareness training, covering breach risks and individual responsibilities.
Sales, marketing and customer service teams run hands-on data security scenarios and drills at least once a year, so response is rehearsed before it is needed.
An ethical data use guideline sets out, in plain terms, under what conditions and in what way customer information may be used — so the rule does not depend on who is asking.
A cotton mill of
our own, in Şanlıurfa.
Vertical integration used to stop at synthetics. The cotton yarn plant in Şanlıurfa extends it to natural fibre — grown in the region, spun by us, woven by us. It processes 3,328.70 tonnes of organic material a year and employs 395 people, and it is what brought total integrated production area to roughly 92,300 m².
Cotton accounts for 14% of raw material by weight — the renewable share of our input, and the fastest-growing part of it.
Priorities we didn't
set on our own.
Part of meeting our social and environmental responsibilities was finding out what our stakeholders actually expect — so we asked them.
1 — Survey
Survey data was collected from our core stakeholder groups: customers, export customers, suppliers and employees.
2 — Score
Each topic was rated on a 1-to-5 importance scale, and an Overall Average Score was calculated across all stakeholder groups.
3 — Matrix
Scores were plotted on two dimensions — Impact on the Company and Stakeholder Importance — producing an Importance–Impact Matrix that sets our agenda.
