SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT
At Centerbase International Communications Limited, our commitment to Quality, Teamwork, Integrity, Professionalism and Safety guides our operations wherever we find ourselves. In alignment with our commitments, we have developed the Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure that all of our business partners, suppliers, and manufacturers meet our basic expectations of doing business related to legal requirements, ethical practices, human rights, and environmental management.

These standards are based on well-respected and recognized international standards, including the International Labor Organization, United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and industry best practices. Compliance with these standards is an expectation of doing business with Centerbase, as the Code defines the non-negotiable minimum standards that we ask our suppliers and their sub-tier suppliers or sub-contractors, to respect and adhere to. Centerbase seeks to develop and strengthen partnerships based on a shared commitment of transparency, collaboration, and mutual respect.

We recognize that our suppliers are independent businesses and the exclusive employers of their workers. However, the actions of our business partners can be attributed to us, affecting not only our reputation, but the level of trust we have worked hard to earn from partners, customers, and pet owners. While Centerbase appreciates that our suppliers operate in a variety of different legal, geographical, and cultural environments we expect all Suppliers to comply with the Code, and hope that our Suppliers will strive to exceed these standards. The standards of this Code are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the provisions of any legal agreement or contract between a supplier and Centerbase.
