This is an important document as it ensures that our business partners align with what we stand for at Nutreco and Skretting; feeding the world in a responsible and sustainable way. We will also take a more active approach to ensure all business partners are aware of, and comply to, our expectations. Besides incorporating the code of conduct in our major contracts we will also regularly communicate its contents, including annual notification to all our raw material suppliers. This notification will contain the most recent version of the Nutreco Code of Conduct for Business Partners with supplements, re-informing the suppliers of the expectations we have.
Code of Conduct for Business Partners
In 2020, we developed a new Code of Conduct for Business Partners (CoC BP), with separate supplements for suppliers of agricultural products and marine products. This will help Nutreco and Skretting to engage with our business partners on sustainability, compliance and integrity issues, and we will only conduct business with companies or individuals that comply with the standards set out in this Code of Conduct. If a business partner fails to comply with the Code, Nutreco may take corrective measures, including termination of the business relationship. The CoC BP is available in several key languages for our business activities.
