Overview

Supplier Code of Conduct Training

A Supplier Code of Conduct establishes a set of legal and ethical guidelines for supply chain vendors to follow. An effective Code should clearly explain applicable laws and regulations and set standards of behavior for all aspects of suppliers’ business operations.

Providing Code of Conduct training to suppliers is one of the essential measures organizations can take to communicate and reinforce high standards of business ethics and integrity, and reduce the compliance, financial and reputational risks associated with suppliers and third parties.
