The Sirion Supplier Code of Conduct applies to all suppliers, contractors, business partners and employees (“suppliers”) providing products or services to the Sirion group of companies. We require our suppliers, their subsidiaries and affiliates to share and apply the standards set out in this Supplier Code of Conduct and to replicate these standards further down their supply chain, including but not limited to their subcontractors involved directly or indirectly in the delivery of products or services to Sirion.
This Supplier Code of Conduct directly aligns with the principles of our own Code of Conduct as well as with our ESG Policy. It is considered to be an integral part of business and contractual relations with Sirion. We expect our suppliers to conduct their business in alignment with the following pillars:
Our suppliers must collaborate with us in the achievement of our environmental goals, comply with all applicable laws and strive for best practices.
Our suppliers must comply with applicable human rights and employment laws and support the protection of fundamental human rights wherever they operate in the world.
Our suppliers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations and conduct their business in an ethical manner.
Sirion is committed to ensuring sustainable business practices by continuously minimising and being accountable for the impact of its activities on the environment, using resources responsibly as well as aiming for standards that match or exceed environmental best practices. In addition to complying with applicable laws, including environmental laws of the countries in which suppliers operate, our suppliers must acknowledge their environmental impacts, implement appropriate systems to assess and measure the impacts of their operations, products and services and take appropriate steps to continuously reduce negative impacts on the global environment across the lifecycle of their products and services.
Sirion supports the protection of human rights and is guided by fundamental principles such as those in the United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Core Conventions.
Our suppliers must comply with all applicable labour, human and social rights laws, regulations and standards including the publication of a statement on modern slavery and human trafficking if required.
Our suppliers must comply with all relevant health and safety laws and provide a working environment that minimises health and safety risks. The supplier shall allow workers to express their concerns about working conditions without threats of reprisal or harassment.
We must under no circumstances use, or in any way benefit from, forced, bonded or compulsory labour in our supply chain. Our suppliers must take reasonably sufficient steps to ensure Sirion is not indirectly benefiting from, or contributing to, modern slavery or human trafficking in its supply chain.
Our suppliers must not use child labour1 and their employees must not be younger than the compulsory school age in accordance with laws and regulations (and in any event not be younger than 15 years of age).
As far as applicable laws allow, our suppliers must recognise and respect the right of employees to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
Our suppliers must comply with applicable privacy laws and are expected to secure Sirion data against unauthorised access or use.
Sirion does not tolerate discrimination2, intimidation or harassment. Our suppliers must share our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Sirion promotes individual and business integrity by doing business in an ethical and lawful manner and by maintaining the highest standards of integrity when dealing with internal stakeholders, market participants, clients, suppliers and any other stakeholders.
Sirion is committed to full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as they affect business transactions with all suppliers. We expect the same from our suppliers in their business dealings with Sirion and with their respective supply chains.
Suppliers must fully comply with the requirements of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, and any other applicable anti-corruption laws. Suppliers shall not take any actions that could be perceived to be an attempt to bribe, accept a bribe or engage in any corrupt activities.
The offering of gifts and hospitality can be misinterpreted, possibly giving the appearance of improper behaviour, or creating the expectation of something in return. The basic principle is that we cannot give or accept any form of gift/hospitality when this may appear to improperly influence the recipient in any way. We do this by setting and respecting specific thresholds and conditions. Additionally, we must never offer/accept cash or cash equivalent gifts (e.g. voucher). We ask our suppliers for their full support in this matter and the assurance that this is communicated to the appropriate officers and employees within their organisation.
Our suppliers must avoid any conflict of interest or situation which could be perceived as a potential conflict of interest. Suppliers must immediately report any situation/event that may appear to be an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Our suppliers must take necessary measures to prevent any accidental or malicious leakage of any sensitive or critical Sirion information. They must respect the intellectual property rights of Sirion and only use or transfer technology and know-how in a manner that protects intellectual property rights. No Sirion confidential information shall be communicated to any third parties without Sirion’s prior written consent.
Sirion has established several reporting channels for staff and relevant stakeholders such as suppliers, to report violations of the Code of Ethics and this Supplier Code of Conduct, laws, regulations or company policies. Our suppliers must report suspicions of any violations to their usual Sirion point of contact, or by email to [email protected]. Our suppliers must also comply with applicable whistleblowing laws and regulations.
Our suppliers must comply with all applicable anti-money laundering, counter terrorist financing and anti-tax evasion laws wherever they conduct their business.
Our suppliers must comply with all applicable sanctions laws and regulations, including sanctions issued by the UN, the EU, the US (OFAC) and the UK (OFSI). In particular, our suppliers agree:
Our suppliers shall not engage in any form of fraudulent practices and must have robust fraud prevention processes in place, including but not limited to having a fraud response program.
Our suppliers must comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations. Any Sirion or Sirion customer Personal Data processed by our suppliers as data processor, within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)3, shall solely be processed in accordance with Sirion’s and the relevant customer’s instructions.
Market abuse rules aim to ensure integrity of financial markets and to enhance investor protection and market confidence. Our suppliers shall not engage in unlawful disclosure of inside information, insider dealing or market manipulation.
Our suppliers must conduct business in full compliance with all applicable competition laws and must not engage in any anti-competitive behaviour whether on Sirion’s behalf or otherwise.
Suppliers shall not use Sirion’s name, trade mark or logo in any advertising, promotional material, press releases, client list or similar materials, or in any form of digital or social media channel without first obtaining Sirion’s prior written consent on the manner and scope of such use.
Our suppliers shall:
Non-compliance with this Code or failure to take the necessary corrective measures following an assessment, shall be considered a breach of the contractual obligations of the supplier and may lead Sirion to reconsider its relationship with the supplier.
The same applies if the supplier refuses to provide information regarding compliance with this Code or does not collaborate in the appropriate risk analysis and screening.
We value our suppliers as our partners and we expect them to share our vision and commitment to sustainability and responsible business conduct. By complying with this Supplier Code of Conduct, our suppliers demonstrate their commitment and contribution to our long-term success and reputation.
We appreciate our suppliers’ cooperation and collaboration in this regard and we look forward to strengthening our relationship and creating value for all our stakeholders.
By engaging with Sirion, suppliers confirm that they have read, understood, and agreed to abide by the standards set forth in this Supplier Code of Conduct.
