Supplier relationship​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• We seek to develop long-term business relationships with our suppliers who should have a natural respect for our ethical standards in the context of their own particular culture. Our relationships with suppliers are based on the principle of fair and honest dealings at all times and in all ways. We specifically require our suppliers to extend the same principle of fair and honest dealings to all other with whom they do business including employees, sub-contractors and other third parties. For example, this principle also means that gifs or favours cannot be offered nor accepted at any time.

Legal aspects & intellectual property rights​​​​​​​​​​​

• We will always comply fully with the legal requirements of the countries in which we do business and our suppliers are required to do likewise at all times. The Intellectual Property Rights of third parties will be respected by all concerned.

Employment conditions​​​​​​​​​​​

• In addition to the general requirement that we will extend the principle of fair and honest dealings to all other with whom we do business, we also have specific requirements relating to employment conditions based on respect for fundamental human rights.
• Wages and benefits must be fully comparable with local norms, must comply with all local laws and must conform with the general principle of fair and honest dealings. We ensure that all manufacturing processes are carried out under conditions which have proper and adequate regard for the health and safety of those involved.

​Environmental aspects​​​​​​​​​​​

• The realisation of environmental standards is a complex issue - especially in developing countries. It therefore needs to be continuously reviewed within the limits of what is achievable per country. We will work with our suppliers to help them to meet our joint obligations towards the environment.

Inspection​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• All customers are invited to visiting our factory premises for inspection.
