A supplier code of conduct for use by a UK-based organisation which sets out the behaviours and minimum standards that an organisation expects of its suppliers. The focus is primarily on employment conditions, environmental practices and general ethical business practices. The code recognises that in addition to UK law, suppliers may have to comply with the laws of other jurisdictions where they are based or operate.

Supplier codes of conduct are an important tool for organisations seeking to address environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in their supply chains.
