ITW’s strength in delivering for our customers is due to the relationships we have with our suppliers. We expect them to operate responsibly and adhere to our standards for environmental and social responsibility.
Ensuring Accountability Across Our Supply Chain
ITW policies outline our expectations for our partners. These documents help ensure responsibility across our value chain, beginning with our products’ impact and continuing throughout our global supplier network.
- Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Expectations help our suppliers align with our ethical standards. The Supplier Code of Conduct applies all relevant aspects of ITW’s Code of Conduct to our suppliers and is consistent with the United Nations Global Compact.
- Responsible Materials Policy codifies our commitment to responsible sourcing of all materials and is intended to support compliance with applicable legal requirements regarding legislated materials.
- ITW Human Rights and Modern Slavery Statement describes our activities to promote respect for human rights and the elimination of forced labor and human trafficking from our business and supply chains.
- ITW’s Standard Terms and Conditions further reinforce our expectations from suppliers.
We review and update our policies periodically. Our Core Values, together with the policies referenced above, provide the overarching compliance framework relating to human rights and decent working conditions across our global enterprise.
