Ethical Sourcing
At Anderson Corporation, we are committed to sourcing products responsibly and operating in a way that respects human rights, protects the environment and promotes ethical business practices across our supply chain.
Our Ethical Sourcing Program is guided by our 10 Rules to Trade, which set out the standards we expect our suppliers to meet. These standards are designed to support fair working conditions, environmental responsibility and transparent, ethical partnerships.
We require all suppliers to acknowledge and adhere to these standards as a condition of doing business with us. We implement processes to assess and monitor supplier alignment with our expectations and work collaboratively with suppliers to address any identified issues through appropriate corrective actions.
We take a zero-tolerance approach to serious breaches such as forced labour, child labour and bribery or corruption. Where concerns are identified, we investigate and respond appropriately, which may include remediation actions or termination of the relationship.
We are also committed to strengthening transparency and traceability across our supply chain over time.
