Social Compliance:
IBPLC is committed to conducting business in line with its Supplier Code of Conduct (the Code.) This Code requires that suppliers meet international and national human rights and labour standards; provide a safe and healthy work environment for their employees; act ethically and with integrity in their business conduct and manage environmental resources in a sustainable manner. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate compliance with the Code at the request and to the satisfaction of IBPLC and could be required to undergo an assessment by independent auditors. In the case where IBPLC becomes aware of any actions or conditions not in compliance with the Code, IBPLC will demand corrective measures. When contracting with agents or traders, IBPLC may request to have their manufacturing or farming suppliers assessed for compliance. IBPLC reserves the right to terminate these General conditions of Purchase if the Supplier cannot demonstrate compliance with the Code. As the code may be amended from time to time, it is recommended that suppliers ensure that they have the most updated version.

Paper Based Packaging Materials Responsible Sourcing Guidelines:
IBPLC requires that paper based packaging material suppliers have mechanisms in place to demonstrate that the materials being purchased by IBPLC are made from either recycled fibre or known and legal virgin fibre sources. In order to demonstrate that a source is known and legal, the supplier may be required to provide reliable information that identifies the source location, the source entity, and each intermediary in the supply chain. Suppliers must also have mechanisms in place to ensure that the wood has been harvested and traded in compliance with the applicable legislation.

Responsible Sourcing Guideline for packaging carbon emission:
IBPLC requires suppliers to define, drive and implement ambitious business targets around CO2e reduction/ related carbon emission in their own operations, and drive carbon reduction in line with IBPLC targets to reduce IBPLC’s packaging CO2e and post-consumer waste to landfill. As such Suppliers are encouraged to report on their decarbonisation targets using either the CDP reporting tool or the IBPLC sustainability scorecard.
