Trinity Limited’s activities rely on sourcing from Suppliers around the world.
We work with our global supply chain to cultivate safe working conditions, to foster dignity and respect for workers and topromote responsible environmental practices.
Our Code of Conduct and accompanying Standards detail the principles and practices that we expect our Suppliers to uphold. The Code, which is based on universally accepted fundamental principles and local laws, represents our commitment to sourcegoods from Suppliers who value and incorporate these provisions into their operations.
Labor Practices
Voluntary labor
All work should be voluntary and not performed under threat of penalty or coercion. Forced labor,
including bonded, trafficked, indentured or prison labor, is prohibited.
Working age
Employees should not be younger than the minimum employment age of the relevant country, or the
maximum age of compulsory education, whichever is higher. Not under any circumstance should
workers be younger than 15 years of age.
Fair and equal treatment
All employees must be treated with respect and dignity. In other words, the workplace should be
free of emotional, verbal and physical abuse.
Moreover, employees must not be subjected to discrimination in hiring, compensation or discipline,
on the basis of gender, age, religion, marital status, race, sexual orientation, disability,
disease, nationality, pregnancy, or trade union and/or political affiliation.
Wages, benefits and terms of employment
Employee compensation – including wages, overtime pay, benefits and paid leave – must meet or
exceed legal minimum and/or industry standards and/or collective bargaining agreements, whichever
is higher. Wages for traineeships and apprenticeships should also meet at least the legal minimum.
Disciplinary deductions from compensation are not allowed.
Working hours
Working hours should not exceed 60 hours per week. All overtime must be voluntary, mutually agreed,
and compensated at a premium rate. Employees should be given at least 1 rest day in any 7-day period.
Freedom of association and recognition of the right to collective bargaining
Suppliers must respect the right of employees to freedom of association and collective bargaining
as permitted by law.
Ethical Conduct
Suppliers must operate with high ethical standards and should not be involved in any corruption,
extortion, bribery, fraud, false declarations, counterfeiting or insider trading.
Safe Places to Work
Suppliers should promote and maintain a safe, hygienic and healthy working environment and residential
facilities, where provided. Adequate measures, systems, protections and training must be implemented
to prevent harm to employees’ health, safety and well being.
Environmental Protection
Suppliers should actively work to improve the environmental performance of their operations.
This includes measures to mitigate adverse environmental impacts, and to improve material and
resource efficiency, reduce waste and prevent pollution.
Responsibility, Transparency and Accountability
Suppliers must be transparent in their policies, processes, and standards which govern their
operations and which are related to their compliance with the Code. As such, Suppliers should
educate their employees and managers on their rights and responsibilities related to upholding
the Code.
