When national legislation or other applicable regulations address the same issue as this Supplier Code of Conduct, the highest standards or most restrictive provisions shall apply. When this Supplier Code of Conduct is in contradiction with applicable law, the applicable law shall apply. The client works with suppliers who agree to comply with the requirements of this Supplier Code of Conduct and with the principles stipulated in the Conventions of the International Labour Organization, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Global Compact, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles.
Our suppliers remain guarantors towards the client for work performed by their subcontractors and suppliers and guarantee respect by their subcontractors and suppliers of this Supplier Code of Conduct and relevant obligations.
In the event of any violation of this Supplier Code of Conduct by the supplier or one of its suppliers or subcontractors, the client reserves the right to review the business relationship and possibly terminate it in conformity with applicable law, even if there is no written contract formalizing this relationship, without prejudice to the other rights of the client or remedies it might seek.
1. LABOR STANDARDS AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
The client expects its suppliers to share this commitment. It encourages initiatives by its suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of their activities, notably through the use of green technologies.
The client requires that its suppliers respect local and international environmental regulations and standards, that they obtain all requisite environmental permits and that they be able to prove effective implementation of the following:
• Prohibition of money-laundering: Money-laundering can occur where an action is taken to mask the true origin of money or assets that are connected to criminal activity. We require our suppliers to commit to taking all appropriate measures to prevent their operations from being used as vehicles for money-laundering.
• Respect of competition: Our suppliers must be committed to compliance with competition law applicable in their host countries. This includes prohibiting abuse of dominant position, concerted practices or unlawful agreements between competitors.
