We aim to be a leader in sustainable development in the industries in which we operate. We endeavour to work with our suppliers of goods and services (\u201csuppliers\u201d) to help ensure that our commercial need to purchase goods and services on competitive terms is not met at the expense of labour standards, health and safety or the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We value suppliers who share our commitment to integrating principles of sustainable development into their businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Application<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This Supplier Code of Conduct (\u201cCode\u201d) outlines the minimum standards we expect from our suppliers, who are responsible for communicating the requirements of this Code to their employees and suppliers. This Code applies to suppliers of Swire Pacific Limited and its subsidiaries in a way that is relevant to their respective businesses, while suppliers of our associated and joint venture companies and those with whom we do business are encouraged to comply with it. For details on our procurement guidelines, please refer to our Sustainable Procurement Policy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Requirements<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Suppliers shall not employ any forms of forced labour. Physical punishment, threats of violence or other forms of physical, sexual or verbal abuse shall be prohibited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All work, including overtime work, should be voluntary and employees should be free to leave employment in accordance with applicable labour laws and regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Health and safety<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Suppliers shall provide a safe working environment and identify and control hazards associated with their businesses. Suppliers shall operate in accordance with applicable health and safety laws and regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppliers should have appropriate measures in place to monitor workplace health and safety performance, provide adequate health and safety training, and an effective reporting and communication protocol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
