Ethical Sourcing from Turkey: Sustainable, Fair and Transparent Supply Chains
At Crafted Anatolia, ethical sourcing is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to connecting Australian businesses with trusted Turkish suppliers who share our values of sustainability, transparency, and social responsibility.
We work closely with local artisans, manufacturers, and cooperatives across Turkiye to ensure that every product you source meets rigorous ethical standards — from raw material to final craftsmanship.
Our Ethical Sourcing Standards
We partner exclusively with suppliers and producers who comply with local and international labour and environmental standards, including:
✔ Fair Labour Practices
All our suppliers follow the Turkish Labour Law No. 4857, which outlines workers’ rights, including minimum wage enforcement, limits on working hours, and mandatory social security contributions. We ensure:
-
No child or forced labour (as defined under Turkish law and the ILO Convention)
-
Safe and fair working conditions
-
Gender equity and workplace inclusion
✔ Sustainable Production
Environmental protection is a growing priority in Turkish manufacturing. Our sourcing partners adhere to:
-
The Turkish Environmental Law No. 2872, regulating waste management and emissions
-
The Zero Waste Regulation (Sıfır Atık Yönetmeliği) implemented by the Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change
-
Use of renewable materials and eco-friendly packaging whenever possible
✔ Certified and Transparent Supply Chains
To verify ethical compliance, we prioritise working with suppliers that hold internationally recognised certifications, including:
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) – for certified organic fibres
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 – ensuring textiles are tested for harmful substances
Fair Trade Certification – where available
Sedex (SMETA) Audit Reports– for ethical trade and responsible business practices
Our team conducts regular audits, reviews documentation, and engages directly with producers to maintain transparency throughout the supply chain.
Supporting Turkish Artisans and Communities
We proudly support small-scale artisans and regional workshops across Turkiye, helping preserve centuries-old techniques in ceramics, textiles, woodwork, and glassware. Our ethical sourcing model ensures that:
-
Artisan groups are paid fairly for their craftsmanship
-
Traditional methods are maintained in a modern context
-
Local communities benefit economically and socially from global market access
