Supplier Code of Conduct

CELLULARMEGA is committed to ensuring that working conditions in its supply chains are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically. To this end, CELLULARMEGA established this Supplier Code of Conduct ( “Code”) and requires our suppliers to operate in accordance with the principles outlined in this Code and in full compliance with the laws, rules and regulations of the countries in which they operate. In addition, CELLULARMEGA also expects our suppliers to hold their suppliers, contractors, and service providers to the standards defined in this Code.

CELLULARMEGA will assess its suppliers’ compliance with this Code when making purchasing decisions. It is our intention to collaborate closely with our suppliers to drive continuous improvement through communication, audits, and follow-up assessments. However, failure to comply with this Code or cooperate with our auditors may result in termination of business relationship.

The provisions in this Code are derived from the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) Code of Conduct and are in alignment with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as key international human rights standards including the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Code is made up of five sections. Sections A, B, and C outline standards for Labor, Health and Safety, and the Environment, respectively. Section D adds standards relating to business ethics; Section E outlines the elements of an acceptable system to manage conformity to this Code. In relation to Section D and considering that Integrity is the most important core value of CELLULARMEGA, suppliers are reminded NOT to:

Resort to any illegal, unethical, anti-competitive, or improper business activities.

Ask for, accept, give, or offer any monies, non-nominal gifts, excessive entertainment, benefits, bribes or kickbacks from/to any CELLULARMEGA employee, employee's family, friends, or acquaintances.

Invite or offer any CELLULARMEGA employee, employee's family, friends, or acquaintances, to participate in any form of equity rights, grants, options, “friends of family” or “founders” shares, or other similar benefits from us.
