Clariant’s Supplier Code of Ethics -
our principles for a sustainable partnership
Clariant’s Code of Ethics is laying down our commitments and is intended to be a guide with ethical principles and examples to enable our personnel and associated parties to act with highest standards of integrity
Based on these values, we launched the Supplier Code of Ethics which is relevant to all suppliers, business partners and their contractors doing business with Clariant.
New legislations and requirements (e.g., the Supply Chain Law) have been considered as well as the need for continuous improvements. Clariant’s Supplier Code of Ethics replaces the previous Clariant’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers.

Let’s reflect together!
What do we expect from our suppliers?
We expect our suppliers, business partners and their contractors to abide by this Supplier Code of Ethics and to support us to reduce negative environmental and social impacts. This goal is achieved by evaluating the sustainable performance of our supply chain through our membership in the Together for Sustainability Initiative. Based on assessments and/or audits of our Suppliers, we establish relevant, measurable improvement objectives and targets, as well as we regularly monitor and verify their progress.
