Supplier Conduct Principles
This Supplier Conduct Principles has been established to ensure safe working conditions throughout Stryvo’s supply chain, ensuring that workers are treated with respect and dignity, that business operations are environmentally sound, and that business is conducted in accordance with internationally recognised principles for business ethics.
Stryvo takes a partnership approach to suppliers in an effort to pursue these principles. Consequently, Stryvo will:
- seek continuous improvement on the part of suppliers within the areas covered by these principles. If suppliers fail to comply with the standards in these principles, Stryvo’s general policy is to encourage improvement, not to terminate the contract.
- welcome rather than penalize suppliers by identifying activities that do not measure up to these standards (by themselves or with sub-contractors) and who agree to pursue improvements. consider a similar ethical trading standard as a reasonable alternative if suppliers are already working to achieve similar standards.
Stryvo expects all its suppliers to comply with, or actively pursue compliance with, the following requirements:

In all of their activities, Stryvo’s suppliers must operate in full compliance with the legislation, rules and regulations of the countries in which they operate. Where the provisions of applicable local laws and the Principles address the same subject, and they are not in conflict, the highest standard shall be applied.
