These organizations generally promote core principles, including respect and support for identified human rights. These principles are integrated into our core values of Integrity, Honesty and Respect and are reflected in our guidelines for ethical behavior, as outlined in the proAsset Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct.

Our suppliers and partners understand that our relationship is based on an expectation of compliance with applicable laws and regulations and adherence to internationally recognized environmental, social, corporate governance and management systems standards. We reserve the right to terminate the business relationship if a supplier fails to meet their obligations.
