Communicate Expectations
Communicating our expectations to our suppliers is a critical component of our supplier sustainability program. Some of the ways we communicate these expectations include:
- Supplier Code of Conduct document; and
- Contractual language within our standard terms and conditions.
Supplier Code of Conduct
As part of Howmet Aerospace’s continuing commitment to sustainable business practices, we are dedicated to working in partnership with our suppliers to follow our Supplier Code of Conduct.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct set forth:
- Our commitment to environmental, social and economic practices.
- Our expectations of suppliers, contractors and others with whom we conduct business (collectively referred to as “Suppliers”) with respect to sound and responsible environmental, social and economic practices.
We recognize that there are different legal and cultural environments in which suppliers operate throughout the world. This code set forth the minimum requirements that suppliers must meet to do business with us. In order to comply with these requirements, suppliers should communicate the principles of these standards throughout their supply chain.
We expect and trust that you will honor the environmental, social, and economic principles and practices stated in Howmet Aerospace’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
Standard Terms and Conditions
In an effort to clearly communicate Howmet Aerospace’s expectations with regards to supplier sustainability, we have added contractual language regarding Supplier Standards to the North American Standard Terms and Conditions.
