We have a Supplier Code of Conduct in place and require all suppliers to certify their compliance. We also uphold supplier accountability for remaining compliant. The Supplier Code of Conduct covers topics such as Human Rights, Anti-harassment, Non-discrimination, Anti-corruption, Anti-bribery, Insider Trading, Competition and Anti-trust, Information Protection, Environmental, Health and Safety, Human Trafficking, Global Trade and Compliance, Counterfeit Parts, Ethics Program Expectations and Reporting Mechanisms.

Our General Provision Purchase Contract is an agreement between the buyer and seller outlining the seller’s contractual requirement for the buyer. This includes items such as packing, shipping and delivery location, stop work authority, termination, quality control, warranty, counterfeit goods, payment, audits, confidentiality, intellectual property and compliance matters.

We have a standalone Counterfeit Prevention Procedure Policy. This is used to mitigate the risk associated with the acquisition of materials resulting in the unintentional use of counterfeit material in the assembly of our products. The Procedure also outlines the handling protocol(s) for suspected counterfeit components and materials.

We have lists of banned and restricted materials identified in each of our contracts. These are reported to our customers and to our Director of Environmental, Energy, Health and Safety. Suppliers are held accountable to the same expectations, as outlined in the Responsible Sourcing of Minerals section of the Supplier Code of Conduct.
