Ethical standards
We will not do business with any vendor who discriminates based on race, gender or religion. We will not do business with any vendor who violates the legal and moral rights of employees in any way.

Legal requirements
We expect our vendors to be law-abiding citizens and to comply with any and all legal requirements relevant to the conduct of their business.

Environmental commitment
A commitment to the environment must be shared by our vendors. There are many ways in which we can work to nurture a better environment at our facilities and the communities in which we operate.

Health and safety requirements
We will only do business with vendors who provide employees with a safe and healthy work environment. Vendors should make a responsible contribution to the health care needs of their employees.

Wage and benefits
We will not do business with any vendor who fails to consistently treat employees fairly by providing reasonable wages and benefits that match or exceed the prevailing local industry standard or the government minimum, whichever is greater.

Employment practices
While permitting flexibility in scheduling, we will only do business with vendors who do not exceed prevailing local work hours and who appropriately compensate overtime. No employee should normally be scheduled to work more than sixty hours per week. We will not do business with any vendor who denies their employees appropriate access to education, health care, religious observance or family obligations.

Child labour
We will never do business with any company that makes use of child labour. Employees of our vendors must be over the applicable legal age requirement or be at least 14 years old, whichever is greater. Vendors must observe all child labour laws, particularly those to hours of work, wages, minimum education and working conditions. We encourage vendors to support night classes and work-study programs, especially for younger workers.
