Hello all,
Creating a supplier code of conduct involves assembling a diverse and cross-functional team, including key internal stakeholders, external experts, and potentially representatives from key suppliers. The team should collaborate to define objectives, conduct research, and draft the code, ensuring legal compliance. The process should be iterative, involving collaborative sessions, feedback, and revisions. The final draft should undergo legal review and gain approval from key decision-makers. Implementation and ongoing monitoring mechanisms should also be established for effective supplier compliance. This inclusive approach ensures a comprehensive and realistic code aligned with organizational values.
