"As part of our continued commitment to responsible supply chain management and sustainable procurement, and in response to the Modern Slavery Act, we further enhanced questions within a Request for Proposal (RFP questionnaire), to be completed by potential suppliers, on matters related to their anti-modern slavery and human trafficking policies. BNY Mellon’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which is available on our website, applies to all vendors in our supply chain globally. It describes the expectations we have of our vendors to conduct business responsibly, including with respect to compliance with the requirements of applicable slavery, forced labor, child labor and human trafficking laws. The Supplier Code of Conduct describes BNY Mellon’s commitments regarding social responsibility, health and safety, labor and human rights, ethics and other responsible business practices."
