Our suppliers play an important role, helping us meet our obligations in terms of corporate civil liability. We choose to work with ethical suppliers, acknowledged as such in accordance with the standards of both the industry and the counties we operate in. What’s more, our suppliers must uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, observe national laws, International Labour Organization standards and local environmental regulations.
TACOM employees must abide by the law and behave appropriately at all times, especially when assessing suppliers. Incentives, gifts or compensation of any kind cannot be accepted and must not be offered under any circumstances.
Observance of these regulations is guaranteed as all persons concerned must sign the declaration of compliance with our corporate civil liability policy, which requires suppliers immediately inform the company if such a case should arise.
