Supplier Code of Conduct

Our commitments to responsible and ethical business depend not only on our own people but also upon forming cooperative relationships with our business partners who share our commitments. Identifying and selecting the right partners is crucial for the integrity of our supply chains. Therefore, we include social, environmental, and ethical criteria in our supplier evaluations.

We require our suppliers and other business partners to comply with applicable laws, and we expect them to follow equivalent ethical business standards as stated in Neste Code of Conduct, further described in our Supplier Code of Conduct. 

The Neste Supplier Code of Conduct outlines the basic requirements Neste expects its suppliers and their first tier suppliers, contractors and business partners to adhere to and implement throughout their businesses. It includes requirements on compliance with laws and regulations, business conduct, human and labor rights, occupational health, safety and security and environmental impact and climate change.

Neste aims to include Supplier Code of Conduct in the contract terms for suppliers, contractors and other business partners participating in the delivery of raw materials, products, components, materials or services to Neste. Companies consolidated through mergers and acquisitions are also expected to implement Neste Supplier Code of Conduct in their sourcing.

To support the implementation of the Neste Supplier Code of Conduct, Neste carries out training and provides a guide (PDF) with practical recommendations to help our suppliers meet their obligations to comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct.
