Working with our suppliers

All Suppliers working with Tate & Lyle must either agree to comply with this Code or provide their own code of conduct, as long as it meets our requirements. This Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) sets out the minimum standards that we expect from our Suppliers.

We see diversity as a key driver of business performance, growth and innovation and value the competitive edge it brings to our sourcing practices.

In order to develop a supply base that reflects the diverse global marketplace, we are committed to ensuring that all companies are given fair consideration to provide goods and services to our business.

We believe a diverse supply base helps us:

• Better understand and serve a broad spectrum of customers
• Sustain and progressively transform our supply chain by reflecting the demographics of the community we operate in
• Provide economic development opportunities for diverse suppliers

We are keen to work with a mix of suppliers from around the world and encourage all certified businesses to complete a new supplier form. If you match our needs, we will be in touch.

• National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) or regional affiliate
