We carry out our business honestly, ethically and with respect for the rights and interests of our suppliers. We seek to develop relationships with supplier companies consistent with these basic principles, and specifically with respect to human rights and conditions of employment.

Where supplier audits show shortcomings in any of these areas, we encourage a programme of improvement leading to compliance. Responsibility for specific supply codes and agreements rests with individual companies.
