“Code of Conduct (Our Code)

Our Code is available to all our suppliers on the APA website and is referred to in our precedent works and contractor agreements, in our purchase order terms and conditions, and our new supplier request form.

Our Code makes it clear that we expect our suppliers, contractors, and business partners to uphold the principles and standards of our Code. Suppliers have an obligation under this Code to advise APA of any illegal or unethical practices of which they become aware, which would include modern slavery. Consequences of non-compliance with the Code can include termination of contract.”

Pg. 23

“The CIPS Corporate Code of Ethics was developed as part of its commitment to reinforcing ethical values across all procurement and supply practices.

By adopting the voluntary code, APA commits to:

- eradicating unethical business practices including bribery, fraud, corruption and human rights abuses, such as modern slavery and child labour.”

“During FY22 495 new suppliers were onboarded using the APA supplier onboarding process. The process ensures suppliers declare their commitment to respect workers’ fundamental human rights before they are added to our systems. These commitments include:

– providing a safe working environment (and appropriate accommodation facilities if being provided),

– paying a fair wage in accordance with all relevant State and Commonwealth laws and regulations, – equal treatment without distinction based on gender, race, age, religion,

– freedom from forced labour, including access to employee documentation and passports (if internationally sourced labour), and

– freedom to join a union or other similar collective bargaining arrangement.”
