Employee Code of Conduct
In 2020 we revised and launched our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct describes what we stand for when it comes to Safety, Integrity and Sustainability and brings the current policies, manuals and guidelines together. The Employee Code describes the behaviours we expect from our employees and contractors.

Supplier Code of Conduct and Sustainable Procurement
In 2020 SHV Energy launched its Supplier Code of Conduct. The Supplier Code of Conduct was developed through a joint effort of Ethics and Compliance, Procurement, Health and Safety, and Sustainability departments, and establishes that SHV Energy will partner up with suppliers that conduct their business in an ethical, sustainable and safe way. The usage of the Supplier Code of Conduct was embedded in SHV Energy’s procurement processes, formalized in the procurement policy, and is reported periodically to the business globally. The introduction of the Supplier Code of Conduct is a fundamental milestone to build other sustainable procurement practices and engage in new forms of dialogue with our suppliers.

Engaging with third parties is crucial for our business. We engage with many third parties such as suppliers, agents, distributors, contractors, and joint venture parties. However, this also may create risks since organisations are held responsible not only for their own activities but also for the actions of the third parties they engage with. We therefore must be aware of the risks that the relationship with third parties can cause. To determine whether it is acceptable to conduct business with a third party, we operate a company-wide process of third-party due diligence.
