We are dedicated to upholding the principles outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the conventions of the International Labor Organization, and the legal requirements of each country where we operate. These principles guide and reinforce our commitment to the following values:

  1. Corruption
    We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption, including extortion, bribery, and any illegal practices in our business relationships. Suppliers are prohibited from offering, promising, or demanding bribes or other unfair advantages, nor should they expect or request such actions from employees or other suppliers.
  2. Exclusion of Disciplinary and Forced Labor
    All employment must be voluntary. Forced labor, including the withholding of identity documents or any form of coercion, is strictly forbidden. Physical punishment, mental or physical abuse, and verbal harassment are also completely unacceptable.
