Equal Opportunities

Following our successful completion of the evaluation and review process conducted by the EQUAL-SALARY Foundation to officially certify wage equality between our male and female employees, we are proud to announce our achievement as the first holding company in the food and retail sector to receive the EQUAL-SALARY Certificate.

As part of this voluntary certification process, our holding’s data on diversity and inclusivity, along with our wage policies, recruitment procedures, promotions, and benefits, underwent a thorough examination based on scientific methodology. Following this meticulous process, we were deemed worthy of receiving the EQUAL-SALARY Certificate, recognized internationally as a credential that strengthens employer branding.

The EQUAL-SALARY Certificate also validates Yıldız Holding's pioneering efforts to establish equal opportunities in the workplace.

Diversity can drive organizations forward if it is accommodated in the right manner. In all our group companies, we adopt inclusion, diversity and accessibility as our key principles. We design programs to ensure gender equality, and we move forward with the goals “equal pay for equal work” and “having 50% women employees in senior management roles”. We offer a fair working environment for all our employees without excluding anyone. By prioritizing occupational health, we ensure that all our employees have a healthy and safe working environment.
