Nexperia Supplier Code of Conduct
Introduction
Nexperia B.V. (“Nexperia”) is a company with a strong commitment to social responsibility. As a sustainable company, we need our Suppliers to join us in this commitment, based on a shared set of values and principles.
Nexperia pursues mutually beneficial relationships with its Suppliers and contractors (“Suppliers”) and seeks to award business to those Suppliers that are committed to acting fairly and with integrity towards their stakeholders, to observing the applicable rules of law, and to supporting and respecting internationally proclaimed human rights.
Nexperia is committed to ensuring that working conditions in Nexperia’s supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that manufacturing processes are environmentally responsible.
Nexperia’s Suppliers will commit, in all their activities, to operate in full compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations of the countries in which they operate. Beyond this, Nexperia's Suppliers will comply with the Nexperia Supplier Code of Conduct ("Code") using the management systems described in this document.
Compliance to the requirements set out in this Code, or other agreed equivalent standard, is a mandatory qualifying condition for a Supplier to enter a business relationship with Nexperia.
Where the requirements in the Code are higher than local standards and laws, the standards of the Code must be applied. If there are any laws which would make compliance with a part of this Code impossible or unlawful, then an affected Supplier must inform Nexperia as soon as possible. Supplier must secure and monitor that their Suppliers and subcontractors comply with the Code, or other agreed equivalent standards.
As Social Responsibility is a program for the whole supply chain, Nexperia’s Suppliers shall comply with the requirements in this standard and require their Suppliers to do the same. Suppliers must within a reasonable timeframe and without undue delay inform Nexperia if they discover a significant, and/or material breach of the Code or applicable legislation in their own or their Suppliers’ or subcontractors’ operations. Nexperia may visit (and/or have external monitors visit) Supplier facilities to assess compliance with this Code. Violation of this Code may result in an immediate termination of the business relationship, if the supplier is not willing to cooperate and address any encountered violations to the Code in a timely manner. Additionally, any such violation may result in legal action.
The Nexperia Supplier Code of Conduct corresponds to the principles of the Code of Conduct (Version 8.0) of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). Nexperia is a member of RBA and therefore is committed to support the principles of the RBA Code of Conduct. In addition, the Code is based on the Nexperia Code of Conduct. In some places, the Nexperia Supplier Code of Conduct is more detailed than the Nexperia Code of Conduct, since other Nexperia standards have been added to provide clarity and to incorporate the possibility to assess Supplier’s compliance with the Code.
As Social Responsibility is a program for the whole supply chain, Nexperia’s Suppliers shall comply with the requirements in this standard and require their Suppliers to do the same. Nexperia may visit (and/or have external monitors visit) Supplier facilities to assess compliance with this Code. Violation of this Code may result in an immediate termination of the business relationship. Additionally, any such violation may result in legal action.
We are voluntary signatories to the UN Global Compact, the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) Labor Standards, the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and the Paris Agreement. We adhere to various management standards from the International Standards Organization (ISO).
Nexperia extends the Code by maintaining a series of detailed standards that clarify our expectations for compliance.
The Nexperia Supplier Code of Conduct is not intended to create new and additional third-party rights, including for employees.
