Download Clariant’s Supplier Code of Ethics

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.
