Supplier Info

The University of Guelph requires all suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to the University of Guelph's Code of Ethical Conduct for Suppliers and Subcontractors. In indicating their own compliance with the code, suppliers accept responsibility for ensuring that all immediate subcontractors in all their supply chains are also in compliance. The University of Guelph will engage in constructive dialogue with suppliers working to achieve compliance.

Standards

All University suppliers and subcontractors must adhere to the minimum standards and practices outlined in the policies and procedures. Suppliers and subcontractors must be in compliance with Section 2 of the code which refers to:

  • Wages and Benefits
  • Working Hours
  • Overtime Compensation
  • Child Labour
  • Forced Labour
  • Health and Safety
  • Non-discrimination
  • Harassment or Abuse
  • Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining

Compliance will be ascertained and monitored by the University of Guelph, under the guidance of the Worker Rights Consortium's (WRC) Factory Assessment Program and the advice of the Fair Labor Association.

List of Suppliers

As part of implementing these policies, a publicly accessible List of Suppliers is provided and updated through the University of Toronto.
