Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines minimum standards that we expect our suppliers to follow in relation to social, environmental and ethical issues to ensure that working conditions at our suppliers and subcontractors are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, that manufacturing processes or similar activities are environmentally responsible, and that business is done in a legal and ethical way. The Supplier Code of Conduct applies to all actors of the chain of suppliers of B&B and its affiliated companies and specifies that any breach of the code shall be considered a breach of contract with B&B. Our purchase orders explicitly state that suppliers are required to adhere to the Supplier Code of Conduct. We intend to monitor the compliance of our suppliers with this code and take appropriate measures to address any non-compliance, where appropriate.
Due Diligence Processes
We engage with our suppliers to know more about their human rights practices. By fostering open and ongoing dialogue, we gather information on the measures and policies our suppliers have in place to safeguard and promote human rights within their operations. In 2025, we enhanced our due diligence process by distributing our questionnaire to our new international suppliers as part of their onboarding process. In addition, where initial responses are deemed insufficient or incomplete, where further clarification is required to complete our assessment, or where responses indicate a potential risk requiring additional review, we issue a supplementary questionnaire. The primary aim of these questionnaires is to identify potential risks of forced labour and child labour and to take appropriate action where necessary. Based on our initial survey and responses provided by our suppliers at the date of this report, we are able to confirm that the vast majority of our main business partners have adopted a supplier code of ethics and/or conduct emphasizing the obligation to comply with all applicable laws and to encourage ethical and fair dealings in all aspects of their business. We intend to perform on-site visits to any supplier that has been identified as having material risks of forced labour and child labour risks through our supplier questionnaire.
