Novolex has introduced the Novolex Supplier Code of Conduct, designed to hold members of its global supply chain to vital standards for ethical conduct and to adhere to policies and practices that can protect the environment, respect human rights and promote worker health and safety.
“All of us who are part of the Novolex family hold ourselves to high standards of conduct that will ensure our business practices respect and protect our employees, the communities where we live and operate, and customers and their consumers who use our products,” said Stan Bikulege, Novolex chairman and CEO. “We view our suppliers as part of our family and an integral part of our value chain. We expect them to share our commitment and adhere to the same standards that we set for ourselves for ethical and responsible conduct.”
The protection of human rights in the workplace is of paramount importance to Novolex and the Code obligates suppliers to respect and protect those rights as well as ensure the health and safety of their employees. The Code also calls on suppliers to adopt and apply practices that strive to minimize the impact of their operations on the environment by encouraging reductions in the use of energy and water and the generation of waste and emissions.
Supplier responsibility includes adherence to both the letter and spirit of laws and regulations designed to prevent corruption and bribery, and the code includes anti-corruption and anti-bribery provisions as well as guidelines for gifts and entertainment.
