Ethical supply chain management, human rights and due diligence
We require our suppliers to comply with recognised ILO conventions and human rights
It is our responsibility to ensure that our suppliers maintain high employee welfare standards.
Royal Greenland operates in value chains across national borders,
legislation and cultures. Royal Greenland's Supplier Code of Conduct
(SCOC) ensures a set of minimum rules for our suppliers, based on
internationally recognised standards (ILO, IMO and UN). By signing
our code, suppliers undertake to work in accordance with these rules.

prevention by following up the company's Supplier Code of Conduct
and third-party audits.
Risks
