Introduction
The Supplier shall ensure safe working conditions, treat its employees with respect and dignity, operate its business environmentally friendly, and conduct all of its activities ethically and responsibly in full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the country where the supplier operates its business.
Compliance with supplier responsibility is the supplier's core value and
principle.
The future of the supplier that seeks only profits without observing supplier
responsibility can never be bright by many cases.
Samsung Electronics establishes Supplier Code of Conduct (the "Code") and requires all
Samsung suppliers (the "Supplier") to comply with the Code.
This Code applies to Samsung suppliers and their supply chain including Subcontractors
and Labor dispatch agencies providing goods or services to Samsung or for use in or with
Samsung products.
All Suppliers shall adhere to the Code and ensure all of their direct or indirect sub-suppliers related to assembly, components, raw materials and packaging to comply with the Code.
Samsung Supplier Code of Conduct Guide (the "Guide") is established on the basis of the
Code and provides detail guidance on labor and human rights, health and safety,
environment, and conflict minerals.
The Guide helps suppliers understand the Code and facilitate proper implementation.
The Guide may be revised according to the change of the supplier management policy and the Code.
