We continually evaluate our suppliers to confirm that they are acting in ways that protect the sustainability of our world while promoting fair labor practices and upholding human rights. We also maintain a supply chain that supports reliable and effective networked communication.
We expect our suppliers to operate in line with our business conduct and ethics codes.We strive to protect and respect the rights of all individuals by adhering to global standards such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprise, and the International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at work. Our suppliers are expected to maintain safe working conditions where employees are treated with dignity and respect. We continuously monitor their compliance with these expectations.

All suppliers must comply with the supplier code of conduct. We also require adherence to our Conflict Minerals Policy and Environmental Product Compliance Specifications.

Our supplier code of conduct maintains that suppliers adhere to high ethical standards and comply with relevant laws, including anti-corruption, labor practices and environmental regulations. We also require suppliers to act against slavery and human trafficking in their operations.
Responsible minerals sourcing
We maintain a strong commitment to sourcing minerals responsibly and ensuring that our products do not contribute to human rights abuses or environmental harms. We are a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), which promotes transparency and responsible sourcing practices within the minerals supply chain.
