Supplier Code of Conduct

Eco Green Living Ltd   |   Version 1.0   |   June 2026

Eco Green Living is a BCorp certified, female founded family business. We exist to make genuinely sustainable household products that perform. Every claim we make is verified. Every supplier we work with must share our values.

This Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the standards we require from all suppliers and partners. It covers ethical trading, environmental responsibility, product safety, transparency and continuous improvement.

 

1. Who This Applies To

This Code applies to all direct suppliers, manufacturers, and material providers who supply goods or services to Eco Green Living Ltd. By supplying us, you agree to uphold the standards set out in this document.

 

2. Ethical Trading & Labour Standards

We require all suppliers to uphold the following as a minimum:

•       No forced, bonded or compulsory labour of any kind

•       No child labour. Workers must be of legal working age in their country of operation

•       Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining

•       Fair wages that meet or exceed the legal minimum in the country of operation

•       Safe, clean and humane working conditions

•       No discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion, age, disability or any other protected characteristic

•       Clear and transparent employment contracts

 

We support and expect alignment with the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code.

 

3. Environmental Standards

Eco Green Living holds BCorp certification and our suppliers must demonstrate genuine environmental responsibility:

•       Suppliers must hold ISO 14001 environmental management certification or equivalent

•       All relevant environmental permits and licences must be current and compliant

•       Suppliers must actively work to reduce energy use, water consumption and waste

•       No illegal disposal of waste, chemicals or hazardous materials

•       Full product specifications, safety data sheets and certification documentation must be provided on request

•       Any product recall, safety issue or regulatory concern must be reported to Eco Green Living immediately

 

5. Supply Chain Transparency

We believe transparency is the foundation of trust:

•       Suppliers must disclose the origin of all key materials and components

•       Subcontracting is only permitted with prior written approval from Eco Green Living

•       Suppliers must be able to provide full traceability of their supply chain on request

•       We reserve the right to conduct audits, either directly or through a third party, at any time with reasonable notice

•       All audit findings must be shared openly and corrective action plans agreed within 30 days

 

6. Anti-Corruption & Business Integrity

•       Zero tolerance for bribery, corruption or any form of improper financial inducement

•       Compliance with all applicable anti-corruption legislation including the UK Bribery Act 2010

•       Accurate and transparent record keeping at all times

•       Any conflicts of interest must be disclosed immediately

 

7. Continuous Improvement

We do not expect perfection but we do expect progress. Suppliers are expected to:

•       Review and improve their social and environmental performance on an ongoing basis

•       Share their sustainability goals and progress with Eco Green Living annually

•       Engage constructively with any corrective action requests

 

We will work collaboratively with suppliers who are committed to improvement. Suppliers who are unwilling to engage or who breach this Code may be delisted.

 

8. Reporting Concerns

Any supplier, employee or third party who has concerns about a breach of this Code is encouraged to raise them directly with Eco Green Living. All reports will be treated confidentially and without retaliation.
