1. About the Supplier Code of Conduct
Loomis' business is based on trust. The trust we build within our company as well as with our customers, shareholders, suppliers, society, and other stakeholders are key to our success. Loomis and Loomis employees must follow the Loomis Code of Conduct. As a supplier to Loomis, we expect you to uphold the same high standards and follow this Supplier Code of Conduct (in this document referred to as the "Supplier Code").
Loomis' commitment, and therefore yours as our supplier, extends beyond legal compliance. At Loomis we want to do what is right, not just what is allowed, and we select suppliers who share our commitment to environmental, social and governance responsibility and ethical business practices.
All Loomis' partners are responsible for reviewing and seeking to fully understand and comply with the Supplier Code. The Supplier Code provides the frameworks on ethical standards and applies to all Loomis' suppliers.
A "Supplier" is any individual or legal entity that provides Loomis with goods and/or services, or one that provides goods and/ or services on behalf of Loomis. In addition to Suppliers who have a direct contractual relationship with Loomis, this definition also includes the Suppliers' sub-suppliers and sub-contractors.
Violations of the Supplier Code is serious and may result in termination of contract. Acts that are inconsistent with the Supplier Code must be corrected as soon as the breach is known.
