Guiding principles
At SUPPO we recognise that our all of
the business has an impact on people and the planet, in particular
people’s working conditions, as well as the environment, both locally
and globally. We also strongly believe that we can do the right thing
while being a good manufacturer. This is a pre-condition to our future
growth that will be achieved along with our customers and suppliers that
share our vision and ambition.
guiding principles when working with environmental, social and working conditions are:
What is in the best interest of the Worker?
What is in the best interest of the environment?
Through these principles we support the direction described in Lithplus Sustainability Strategy--- “People & Planet Positive”.
The fundamentals
The SUPPO Way on Purchasing raw materials, manufacturing, and service,
(SACOC) is the SUPPO Supplier Code of Conduct. It comprises the SUPPO minimum
requirements relating to the Environment and Social & Working
Conditions (including Child Labour). SACOC is based on the eight core
conventions defined in the Fundamental
Principles of Rights at Work, ILO declration June 1998 and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact 2000.SUPPO recognises the fundamental principles of Human Rights, as defined by
the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” (United Nations 1948) and
adheres to the United Nations sanction list and European Union restrictive measures list.
Legal compliance
SUPPO and SUPPO Supplier shall always comply
with the most demanding requirements whether they are relevant applicable laws
or SUPPO SACOC specific requirements. Should SUPPO requirement contradict
national laws or regulations, the law shall always be complied with and prevail.
Business ethics
The values of trust, integrity and honesty are at the foundation of SACOC and are
keys to its sustainable implementation. It
is on this basis that we begin the relationships and through continued
respect of these values that it will grow.It is important that all SUPPO co-Workersand external business partners understand the SUPPO position on corruption and its prevention. This has been established in SUPPO’s
approach on anti-corruption. This has been communicated to all business
partners via vendor letters, which are signed by all Suppliers.
