Supplier Code of Conduct

MacEwen Agricentre’s Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) applies to all suppliers that produce any component of our goods. This Code also extends to our suppliers’ subcontractors.

This Code sets the minimum expectations that MacEwen Agricentre (“MacEwen”) has of its suppliers with respect to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG). At MacEwen, our objective is to conduct our business to the highest level of ethical standards and ESG. MacEwen will only develop relationships with suppliers who are committed to meeting the standards outlined in this Code.

MacEwen’s expectations and guidelines with respect to responsible sourcing include our commitments to human rights, the environment, health and safety, regulatory compliance, and business ethics. We expect our Suppliers to communicate these expectations internally and with their own Suppliers to uphold the commitments set forth in this Code.

Although MacEwen recognizes that our Suppliers must conduct their business according to their objectives and corporate values, we expect all suppliers to take every measure to adopt behaviours and practices that are aligned with this Code and be able to demonstrate the ways in which they apply the principals of this Code.
