PRINCIPLES
In accordance with our Gradiant Group Code of Conduct, we seek to work with contractors and suppliers who contribute to sustainable
development and are economically, environmentally and socially responsible.
We will develop and strengthen relationships with contractors and suppliers who are committed to the principles set out below or to
similar standards through their own activities and the management of their own suppliers and sub-contractors.
Contractors and suppliers should provide workers with a dedicated whistle-blowing mechanism where grievances related to below
topics can be logged confidentially.
If you know or suspect someone is violating our Code of Conduct, please report your concern using Gradiant’s whistle-blowing tool
which can be found at: www.gradiant.ethicspoint.com
