Supplier Code of Conduct

A supplier code of conduct is a document setting out the ethical, labour, safety and environmental standards an organisation expects its suppliers to uphold.

The code translates a buyer's values and legal obligations into clear expectations — covering anti-bribery, fair labour, health and safety, environmental responsibility and data protection. Suppliers are usually asked to acknowledge and comply with it as a condition of doing business, and it may be referenced in contracts and audits.

A code of conduct supports responsible and sustainable procurement by extending standards beyond the buyer's own walls into the supply chain. It works best when backed by monitoring — self-assessments, audits and corrective actions — rather than being treated as a one-off sign-off.
