Ethical Procurement
At Serco we recognise our responsibilities as an international business and we aim to set, encourage and sustain high standards of corporate responsibility in everything we do across our operations. This includes promoting and ensuring good labour standards and environmental practice in our supply chains. We believe that this not only makes business sense, it also has the potential to improve the living and working standards of people around the world and contributes to sustainable development.
We recognise that our dealings with suppliers often take place in cultures with different norms and values. Certain standards, however, are universally applicable and we expect everyone with whom Serco has commercial dealings to meet such standards.
Serco expects its staff and suppliers to have a natural respect for our ethical standards in the context of their own particular culture. The relationships with our suppliers are based on the principle of fair and honest dealings at all times and in all ways. Serco specifically expects its suppliers to extend the same principle of fair and honest dealings to all others with whom they do business, including employees, sub-contractors and other third parties.
