Local Network. Global Impact
As an attractive sourcing market, Turkey is home to the fourth-largest number of producers supplying amfori members all over the world.
Network Representative
 | In 2016, Muge Tuna was appointed as Network representative to build on the association’s increasing presence in the country. Based in Istanbul, Muge has spearheaded amfori’s response to the challenges facing our members’ producers. Contact: Muge.Tuna@amfori.org |
Producers in Turkey benefit from amfori-hosted workshops, which have proved instrumental in raising audit scores and improving social performance.

A month after its release, the package was commended by UN Special Rapporteur Maria Grazia Giammarinaro
