We have zero tolerance for such practices and take proactive steps to ensure that everyone working with us—globally and in any capacity—benefits from an environment where their rights and freedoms are respected.

Our procurement procedures require tailored due diligence for prospective suppliers prior to engagement or financial commitment.
