Supplier Code of Conduct

1. Legal Compliance

Suppliers shall conduct all activities in strict compliance with the national laws of the countries where they operate and with all relevant international conventions where those are applicable in the country of operation. It is the responsibility of our Suppliers’ directors, officers and managers to know and keep up to date of changes to laws and regulations that affect their business. Suppliers shall ensure that any production, delivery or other action subject to obtaining specific governmental, legal or regulatory permissions is only to be undertaken when those permissions have been granted.

2. People Practices

Suppliers shall treat their employees with respect, forbid child and forced labour and all forms of discrimination in the work place. Where possible and appropriate, they should seek to contribute to the development of their employees' skills through training programmes. Suppliers shall develop and follow a comprehensive human resources policy and procedures that are fully compliant with the national laws in every country in which they work and conform and which should include protection of the privacy, safety and security of their employees.

3. Corruption
