Our Core Principles

We respect the fundamental human rights of all individuals.

- Fair Wages and Working Conditions We determine the working and wage conditions of our employees in a reasonable and fair manner, taking into account national laws and international standards to support a dignified standard of living.
- Working Hours and Rest Periods We set working hours and rest periods in accordance with the nature of the work, relevant national laws, and international standards (ILO Conventions No. 1, 14, and 106). We do not force employees to work overtime without mutual consent and outside of legal limits.
