Question Id: S2-1_07
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.
