Suppliers and business associates

We seek constructive business relationships and aim to:

• foster long term agreements within clearly defined boundaries of contractual responsibility;
• deal with organisations whose business conduct, principles and standards are compatible with our own;
• treat our business associates with appropriate standards of ethical behaviour;
• safeguard the confidential information of others and not use such information for any improper business activity or potential gain; and
• conduct all business dealings at arm's length, including adherence to our policies concerning conflicts of interest, gifts and bribes.
