We expect the supplier to conduct its business honestly and ethically and to commit to taking responsibility for the economic, social and environmental impacts of its operations in accordance with the following principles

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Bravedo complies with all applicable laws and regulations in all its operations. We also require our suppliers to comply with all applicable national and international laws in all their activities. We encourage suppliers to adhere to international agreements and commonly accepted principles of good governance. We require that the supplier does not engage in or tolerate violations of the law and never instructs or encourages anyone to break applicable legislation.

CORRUPTION

We require that the supplier does not engage in or encourage bribery or extortion in any form. This includes the offering, promising, giving or receiving of any improper payments for the purpose of gaining a business advantage or any other undue benefit. We encourage the supplier to establish its own anti-bribery principles and guidelines.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

We require that the supplier commits to monitoring, anticipating and reducing the environmental impacts of its operations in a manner appropriate to the nature of its business. We particularly value measures taken by the supplier to reduce the use of plastics in its operations. Suppliers operating in emission-intensive sectors must pay special attention to their carbon footprint, its monitoring, and targets for reducing environmental impacts in the future.

EMPLOYEE RIGHTS

Human rights

We require that the supplier commits to complying with the principles of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and to respecting the universal human rights defined in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The supplier respects human dignity, privacy, and freedom of religion and conscience, and does not tolerate discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or abuse in any form in its own operations or within its supply chain. Upon request, the supplier must be able to demonstrate the monitoring mechanisms it has in place to ensure respect for human rights in its own activities and in its supply chain. Actions that violate human rights must be addressed and corrective measures taken without delay.

Non-discrimination

We require that the supplier treats all employees equally regardless of, for example, race, age, nationality, gender, or sexual orientation.

Forced labour and child labour

We require that the supplier, in accordance with ILO principles, ensures that neither it nor its supply chains use or are involved in the use of forced labour, nor employ individuals below the legal working age. Persons under the age of 18 may not be employed in work that endangers their physical or mental development. If the supplier operates actively in developing countries, we value concrete actions that support the sustainable development of the local community.

Health and safety

The supplier commits to actively ensuring safe and healthy working conditions throughout its supply chain. Accidents and injuries must be prevented, and incidents related to occupational health and safety must be documented and investigated. We expect our suppliers to assess safety and health risks regularly.

Freedom of association

The supplier commits to respecting employees’ freedom of association and the right to organize professionally, as well as the right to collective bargaining, and does not engage in discriminatory practices based on these rights. The minimum employment conditions set out in applicable laws and collective agreements must be complied with throughout the supply chain.

DATA PROTECTION

The supplier processes personal data responsibly, carefully and systematically. Information on the processing of personal data and on customer rights must be communicated openly and clearly. The supplier complies with the obligations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) in its business operations.
