Working With Us
What works for us.
Our code is simple.
We hold ourselves to a higher standard.
That’s just the way we do business.
And we do business with suppliers who operate the same way.
Because our stakeholders deserve nothing less.
We expect our suppliers to behave ethically and with integrity, maintain quality business processes, comply with all laws and regulations, and possess a strong management system that promotes business continuity and performance governance—or they won’t be doing business with us.
When appropriate, Acme-Hardesty may meet with suppliers to review the terms of our agreement and achieve improvement.
Quality is not an option
Or consistency. Our suppliers must meet product specifications and requirements defined by our written agreements. Goods and services must meet customer needs, perform as intended, and be safe for designated use.
Bio-based commitment
Suppliers of innovative and bio-based chemicals must work with Acme- Hardesty to serve the needs of sustainability-oriented customers.
Business ethics
Acme-Hardesty’s suppliers are expected to:
- Behave ethically and maintain an environment of transparency collaboration, and innovation.
- Maintain fair business practices by providing accurate and truthful advertising, fair competition, and antitrust. They must prohibit payment of bribes, illegal political contributions, and other illicit payments or methods for any reason, including the waiver of penalties, fines, or the receipt of any other special benefits
- Suppliers must safeguard against improper use of intellectual property and the disclosure of confidential or sensitive information, pricing, or employee information
People first
Acme-Hardesty’s suppliers are expected to promote the safety, health, and well being of their employees. Suppliers must implement programs to prevent or control employee exposure to chemical, biological, and physical hazards. Suppliers are also expected to implement preventative safety measures and emergency procedures, while encouraging programs that positively impact employee health.
