Responsible partnership: Bertschi Supplier Code of Conduct
The values of respect, integrity, and collaboration in all aspects of our operations are highly prioritized at Bertschi. These principles are fundamental to the way we do business and are also central to our partnerships with suppliers. Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines the standards we expect from our suppliers to ensure that these values are upheld across our entire supply chain.
This Code of Conduct aligns with Bertschi’s internal guidelines and reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible and sustainable business practices. By working with suppliers who share these principles, we aim to promote social responsibility, uphold human rights, and minimize our environmental impact.
Key Principles of Our Supplier Code of Conduct
- Human Rights and Social Issues
We expect our suppliers to respect human rights, avoid forced labor and child labor, and provide a work environment free from discrimination or harassment. Suppliers must comply with local laws on wages and working hours and offer mechanisms for employees to report workplace concerns. - Legal Regulations
Suppliers are required to fully comply with all relevant laws and international standards, including those that prevent money laundering, bribery, and terrorist financing. We also expect adherence to privacy regulations, confidentiality agreements, and fair competition practices. - Environment and Sustainability
Bertschi’s suppliers are expected to prioritize environmental protection by adhering to health, safety, and environmental regulations. We encourage sustainable practices that minimize environmental impact, optimize resource use, and contribute to the protection of biodiversity.
To ensure compliance with these principles, we regularly communicate the Supplier Code of Conduct to our top suppliers and request written confirmation of their adherence to its guidelines.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct is a core part of our efforts to maintain high ethical standards in our industry and ensure that our supply chain is aligned with our values.
