In our Supplier Code of Conduct and our Supply Chain Policy, we lay down a set of minimum requirements, including on working conditions and equal treatment, that all suppliers must adhere to by signing up to ISS Supplier Code of Conduct or by having in place own policies of at least the same standard as the ISS Supplier Code of Conduct. It also defines our expectations and requirements towards suppliers in terms of human rights emphasising our expectation that suppliers comply with international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

Human trafficking, forced labour and child labour are explicitly addressed in our Supplier Code of Conduct and our Supply Chain Policy and are subject to requirements to establish and maintain due diligence processes for these severe human rights areas.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct, which is referenced in our standard terms and conditions, we retain the right to terminate our business relationship with suppliers that do not comply with our requirements.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct and our Supply Chain Policy are both approved by the Executive Group Management (the EGM) and implemented operationally by our global Procurement function. Both policies are publicly available.

Our process for managing and addressing concerns raised by supply chain workers will follow the principles laid down in our Speak-Up Policy with the adjustments required from the need to involve the member of our supply chain in the investigation and remediation process. The fundamental safeguards provided by our Speak-Up Policy in regard to 'no retaliation' and confidentiality applies also to concerns raised by supply chain workers. Through our commitment to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and our ISS Supplier Code of Conduct we promote the establishment of suppliers' own relevant channels through which supply chain workers can raise concerns with relevant suppliers.
