Supplier Due Diligence
LSK Supplies conducts thorough due diligence on all suppliers before they become part of our preferred supplier list. We verify that they meet our ethical standards by ensuring they have never been involved in any modern slavery-related offenses or poor working conditions. We also require that our suppliers confirm they have taken active steps to eradicate modern slavery from their own operations and hold their suppliers accountable as well.
Accountability and Responsibility
We believe in social and environmental responsibility. This applies not only to our operations but also to how we engage with our business partners. We expect all our suppliers and business partners to uphold the same ethical standards we adhere to. Our policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to ensure compliance and to promote long-term sustainability and ethical business conduct.
