Globalwax LLC believes in conducting
business with honesty and integrity,
treating all people with dignity and
respect, supporting our communities and
honoring the laws, regulations and
treaties of the countries in which we
operate. In selecting its suppliers,
Globalwax LLC endeavors to choose
reputable business partners who conduct
their business in a manner that shows
commitment to high ethical standards,
safe and healthy working environments,
protection of human rights and dignity,
protection of the environment and
compliance with the law.
This Supplier Code of Conduct (“Code”)
outlines our expectations regarding the
workplace standards and business
practices of our suppliers, along with
their parent entities, subsidiaries,
affiliates, subcontractors and others who
are within their supply chain (“Supplier”).
The expectations contained in this Code
are factors essential to our decision
whether to enter into or extend existing
business relationships. Each supplier is
responsible for ensuring that its
employees, representatives and
subcontractors understand and comply
with this Code.
The expectations outlined in this Code do
not replace specific requirements in
contracts. Rather, this Code is intended to
supplement the specific requirements in
contracts. If a contractual term is stricter
than this Code, the supplier must meet the
stricter contractual requirement. This
Code does not alter contractual terms or
constitute express or implied contractual
obligations or a contract of employment.
Globalwax LLC operates in a global
environment and honors the laws and
treaties of the countries in which we
operate, but certain laws, such as the
Unites States Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act(FCPA), the UK Bribery Act and others,
apply to the company’s global operations.
Therefore, this Code is focused on
principles that uphold consistent
compliance obligations throughout our
global operations. Suppliers are also
expected to comply with all laws and
treaties of the countries in which they
operate; however, within the scope of such
compliance, where local or regional laws
are less restrictive than the principles of
this Code, we expect our suppliers to
follow this Code. Conversely, when local
or regional laws are more restrictive than
this Code, we expect our suppliers to
follow the local or regional laws.
Workplace, Labor and Human Rights
Respect and Dignity. Suppliers are
expected to keep their workplaces free of
harassment, harsh treatment, violence,
intimidation, corporeal punishment, mental
or physical coercion, verbal abuse and
discrimination.
Wages and Benefits. Suppliers must
follow all laws governing wages and
working hours, including compensation,
benefits and overtime.
Freedom of Association. Suppliers must
respect the right of their employees to join
or not to join any lawful association without
fear of retaliation.
Employment Eligibility and Voluntary
Labor. Suppliers shall only employ
workers with a legal right to work. Illegal
child labor and forced labor are forbidden
in any circumstance.
Suppliers must refrain from any conduct-
and require their contractors to refrain from
any conduct-- that uses threats, force or
any form of coercion, abduction,
intimidation, retaliation or abuse of power
for the purposes of exploitation, forced
labor or slavery of any individual.
Suppliers must comply with all laws
governing human trafficking and slavery.
Business Conduct and Ethics.
Illegal Payments, Corruption and Bribes.
Suppliers must not engage in illegal
payments or corruption or tolerate the
offer of gifts, favors or entertainment
where they are intended – or appear
intended – to obligate the receiver.
Suppliers must not participate in extortion,
fraud, embezzlement, bribery or
kickbacks. A supplier must use every
effort to legally understand and determine
when it is dealing with a government
official and when a payment may be
legitimate rather than a bribe.
General Contracting Ethics and Fiscal
Integrity. When providing goods and
services, suppliers must meet their
contractual obligations and follow the law.
Any representation to Globalwax must be
accurate and truthful. Furthermore,
suppliers must keep accurate records that
comply with the law.
Conflict of Interest. Suppliers shall
disclose to Globalwax any potential
conflict of interest, such as when one of
their employees ( or someone close to the
employee ) has a relationship with an
Globalwax employee who can make
decisions that will affect the supplier’s
business-- or when an Globalwax
employee has any kind of interest in the
supplier’s business.
Securities and Insider Trading. If a
supplier learns of any material non-public
information while working for Globalwax,
they must not share that information with
others or use it for market trading.
Antitrust and Competition Laws.
Suppliers must avoid agreements or
actions that illegally limit trade or
competition. They may not offer our
employees any confidential information
about an Globalwax competitor.
Gift-Giving and Political Contributions.
Bribes or inappropriate, lavish or repeated
gifts to Globalwax employees are
forbidden, regardless of local custom.
Furthermore, suppliers must not offer
entertainment or gifts to government
officials – or make direct or indirect
political contributions.-- on Globalwax’s
behalf.
Intellectual Property and Data Privacy.
Suppliers must protect all of Globalwax’s
intellectual property rights, trade secrets
and proprietary information. They must
also protect personally identifiable
information that they keep for Globalwax
from unauthorized access, destruction,
changes, use and disclosure.
Health, Safety and the Environment.
Workplace Health and Safety. We
expect suppliers to promote secure, safe
and healthy work sites. Suppliers should
have everything in place that is needed to
reduce the risk of accidents, injuries and
exposure-- especially where hazardous
materials are present. They must have
well-established safety procedures,
preventative maintenance and protective
equipment in compliance with the law.
Responsibility to the Earth. Suppliers
must comply with all environmental laws,
including those relating to hazardous
materials, wastewater, solid waste and air
emissions. We encourage suppliers to
reduce the environmental impact of their
operations and safeguard the natural
resources on which we all depend,
especially through reasonable efforts to
reduce or eliminate waste of all types.
Such efforts include source reduction,
recycling, composting, reusing materials
and conserving water and energy.
Accountability and Compliance
Suppliers must comply with this Code and
the law. Suppliers shall be responsible for
any monitoring or documenting of their
compliance and their efforts to promote
compliance within their supply chains.
Globalwax reserves the right to
investigate any instances of a supplier’s
non-compliance of which it becomes
aware. Non-compliance may be grounds
for Globalwax to void or terminate
contractual obligations with a supplier.
