Basic Principles of Code of Conduct for Cambridge Suppliers

Health and Safety

You have your own minimum requirements for health and safety of your employees and during the supplier selection
process you make sure that your suppliers are compliant with these minimum requirements.
This means that you as a supplier have to, for example:

  • Take responsibility for the health and safety of employees
  • Control hazards and take the best reasonably possible precautionary measures against accidents and occupational
  • diseases.
  • Further information about health and safety
  • Further information on the Code of Conduct for Cambridge suppliers, Section “Occupational Health and Safety”

Human Rights

Cambridge expects its suppliers to respect the basic human rights of employees as defined in the international conventions
of the United Nations (UN), the International Labor Organization (ILO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) and the UN Global Compact Initiative.
This means that you as our supplier have to, for example:

  • respect the personal dignity, privacy and rights of each individual
  • Comply with the maximum number of working hours laid down in the applicable laws.

Anti Corruption

Cambridge works against all forms of corruption and no contraventions will be tolerated.
We expect that our suppliers:

  • Tolerate no form of and do not engage in any form of corruption or bribery, including any payment or other form of benefit conferred on any government official for the purpose of influencing decision making in violation of law.
