Supplier Code of Conduct

This document outlines the minimum standards of business conduct and practices that all suppliers, their employees, and subcontractors must adhere to when conducting business with our company. Compliance with these standards is a condition of any agreement with us.

1. Labor and Human Rights

Suppliers must uphold the human rights of workers and treat them with dignity and respect. This includes commitments to non-discrimination, fair treatment, and the prohibition of child labor and forced labor in any form.

2. Health and Safety

Suppliers must provide a safe and healthy work environment to prevent accidents and injury. This includes identifying and mitigating potential hazards, providing personal protective equipment, and ensuring access to clean water and sanitation.

Compliance Summary

Status: Partially Compliant

Score: 60 / 100

Strengths: Strong foundational policies on business ethics and anti-corruption.

Weaknesses: Critical, high-risk gaps in human rights, environmental, and supply chain management.

Recommendations: Urgently prioritize drafting a forced labor policy and implementing a supplier audit process to mitigate immediate market access risks.

Gap Analysis
Description Suggestion
Missing explicit policy against forced, bonded, or indentured labor. Draft and integrate a formal anti-forced labor policy (Clause 2.1a) into the Code of Conduct, referencing ILO conventions.
Environmental commitments are non-binding and lack measurable targets. Define specific, measurable environmental targets (e.g., 'reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2030') and establish a tracking mechanism.
No defined process for downstream supply chain auditing. Implement a tiered supplier audit system and require key suppliers to provide evidence of their own compliance programs.
Risk Assessment
Risk Level Business Impact
High High risk of shipment seizure at EU borders, reputational damage, and exclusion from Tier 1 supplier lists.
Medium Potential loss of ESG-conscious customers and difficulty securing green financing.
High Risk of being held liable for undiscovered violations deep in the supply chain, facing potential fines up to 5% of global turnover under CSDDD.
