Laws and regulations
Suppliers must comply fully with all applicable local, national and international laws, regulations and standards, including those on labour, health and safety, environmental protection and fair trade. Suppliers should report any non-compliance to Mobility Specialties promptly and work with us to address it.
Environmental sustainability
Suppliers are expected to:
- identify and reduce the environmental risks of their products and services;
- have effective environmental policies, programs or practices;
- promote energy efficiency, less waste and sustainable use of resources; and
- use sustainable packaging and make durable goods.
Suppliers should align with international environmental commitments, such as the Paris Agreement, and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, plastics and hazardous waste.
Human rights and labour standards

- Child labour. Suppliers must follow local minimum working age laws and use no child labour. Workers under 18 must not do hazardous work.
- Fair wages and benefits. At least the legal minimum wage, clear wage information, and no unfair deductions.
- Working hours. Follow the law on hours, breaks and overtime. No one may be penalised for refusing overtime.
- A safe and healthy workplace. A safe, clean workplace, industry hazards identified and reduced, and safety training.
- No harassment or abuse. Any abuse, harassment or intimidation is prohibited.
Indigenous rights
Suppliers must respect the rights and freedoms of Indigenous Peoples. A supplier whose activities may affect Indigenous or treaty rights must tell Mobility Specialties early in planning, so that engagement with Indigenous communities is open and genuine.
Human trafficking, forced labour and child labour
Suppliers must make sure all work is voluntary and free from exploitation, comply with laws prohibiting the import of goods made with forced or compulsory labour, and prohibit hazardous or exploitative child labour in their operations and supply chains.
Diversity and inclusion
Suppliers must prohibit discrimination, harassment and victimisation based on race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, sex, gender identity, marital status, disability or sexual orientation, comply with anti-discrimination law, and promote diversity and inclusion in their workforce and supply chain.
Ethical business practices
- Anti-corruption. Corruption, bribery, extortion and embezzlement are prohibited, and may end the relationship and lead to legal action.
- Conflicts of interest. Suppliers must disclose any real, apparent or perceived conflict of interest.
- Gifts and hospitality. No gifts, entertainment or other benefits to our employees that could look improper or influence a decision.
Grievance mechanisms
Suppliers must give workers an anonymous, confidential way to raise concerns, such as harassment, abuse, wage disputes or unsafe conditions, with senior management without fear of retaliation.
Subcontracting
Suppliers may not subcontract work for Mobility Specialties without our written approval. Approved subcontractors must meet the same standards, particularly on human rights and working conditions.
Monitoring and compliance
We may check compliance with this code through audits, assessments or other means. Suppliers are expected to cooperate fully and give access to the relevant information and records.
