Special extra benefit for workers @Tekumut

In 2021 the daycare center was installed on the business park of Tekumut in Duzce Turkey. Since many female workers struggle to find affordable childcare, this is a major advantage. A warm daycare house was completely new installed to welcome 8 kids. This was a huge succes and we count already 14 children in 2022. This initiative is an extra support for young families not only financially but it is also providing more family time.

Furthermore, our goal for 2022 was to dialogue with our India-supplier on living wages. So we explored the wage situation at Sunknit. We could not yet travel to India, but we discussed the topic by mail and video calls. Our Indian supplier makes a habit of visiting their customers which builds a close relationship. As stated by a recent FWF audit, the factory is paying living wages to the workers, and the management confirmed that The Woody Group is paying its share of living wages for the workers.
