• SPD strives to protect the environment, improve working conditions and ensure fair
treatment and respect for individuals based on their beliefs, history and culture.

• Our customers expect us to be an ethical as well as an efficient business partner.
These ethical standards are equally important to the company and its own staff
members.

• We evaluate all new suppliers initially, suggest any required improvements and
re-evaluate regularly thereafter. We advise and help our suppliers to find ways to
reduce the environmental impact of their production processes and to improve the
working conditions of their labour force.

• SPD conscientiously keeps abreast with the development of standards in this area,
and regularly audits factories for ethical compliance.
