“Our Code of Ethics defines our Values at work and guides our behaviors. It contains a requirement for our employees to interact with others in an ethical and proper manner and highlights our employment principles and other ethical standards. It specifically prohibits the use of modern slavery or human trafficking in our business. Our Expectations of Third Parties policy also informs our third parties that we do not tolerate the use of child labour and forced labour by third parties.”

“The principles and values contained in our Code of Ethics also apply to our suppliers and all other third parties that we do business with. The applicable standards and requirements for third parties are entrenched in our Global Standard: Expectations of Third Parties.

We require our suppliers and other third parties to operate in line with internationally recognised human rights and promote and maintain a culture of respect and equal opportunities. This requires that our suppliers and other third parties do not use any form of forced, bonded, involuntary or indentured labour.”
