Our Commitment to Ethical Partnerships
At Ee By Gum Web Design, we believe that our responsibility to uphold ethical standards extends beyond our own operations to include the suppliers and partners we work with. Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the ethical standards and expectations we require from all our suppliers, ensuring that our entire supply chain operates with integrity, fairness, and respect for people and the environment.
Ethical Standards and Expectations
We expect our suppliers to adhere to the following principles, which reflect our commitment to ethical business practices:
- Compliance with Laws and Regulations: All suppliers must comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations in the regions where they operate. This includes, but is not limited to, laws relating to labour practices, health and safety, environmental protection, and anti-corruption.
- Labour Practices: We require our suppliers to respect the rights of their workers and to ensure fair and safe working conditions. This includes providing fair wages, reasonable working hours, and a workplace free from discrimination, harassment, and forced or child labour. We expect our suppliers to uphold the principles of human rights in all their operations.
- Health and Safety: The health and safety of workers should be a priority. Suppliers must ensure that their operations comply with all relevant health and safety regulations and provide a safe working environment for their employees. This includes proper training, protective equipment, and measures to prevent accidents and injuries.
- Environmental Responsibility: We are committed to minimising our environmental impact and expect our suppliers to do the same. Suppliers must comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and actively work to reduce their environmental footprint. This includes responsible waste management, reducing energy consumption, and minimising the use of harmful chemicals.
- Business Integrity: We expect our suppliers to conduct business with the highest level of integrity and honesty. This includes avoiding conflicts of interest, prohibiting bribery and corruption, and ensuring transparency in all business dealings. Suppliers should also respect intellectual property rights and safeguard confidential information.
Monitoring and Compliance
To ensure that our suppliers adhere to our ethical standards, we may conduct audits, request documentation, or engage in other monitoring activities. We expect our suppliers to cooperate fully with these efforts and to demonstrate their compliance with our Code of Conduct.
Continuous Improvement
We recognise that achieving the highest ethical standards is an ongoing process. We encourage our suppliers to continuously improve their practices and to work with us to enhance the ethical standards across our supply chain.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with this Supplier Code of Conduct may result in the termination of our business relationship. We take breaches of ethical standards seriously and will take appropriate action to ensure that our supply chain remains aligned with our values and commitments.
Partnering for a Better Future
We believe that by working together with our suppliers, we can create a supply chain that is not only efficient and effective but also responsible and sustainable. We are committed to building long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers who share our dedication to ethical business practices.
