We require our suppliers and subcontractors to implement environmental management systems, obtain third-party certifications, and develop policies and strategies that align with this Code of Conduct. All parties are encouraged to make ongoing efforts to improve the social, economic, and environmental impact of their activities, products, services, and supply chains.
