We are committed to aligning our procurement of goods and services with our environmental and social responsibility goals and initiatives, which includes advancing human rights. We are committed to reviewing and sharing our 20 by 30 Challenge goals with our suppliers to ensure there are no adverse business model pressures on vendor partners. Additionally, we are committed to paying our suppliers within the agreed upon timeframes and to diligently follow up on any exceptions, while maintaining our adherence to our three-way match between purchase order, invoice and receipt.

Supplier Code of Conduct

We engage in responsible business practices that protect the environment, preserve human rights and add value to society. We expect the same from our suppliers. We developed our Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure that our suppliers meet our standards, act ethically and responsibly, and provide their employees with safe and fair working conditions.
