This document is the South Pole Code of Conduct (CoC) oriented to third parties. Its purpose is to inform third parties and create awareness regarding the expectations that South Pole has in terms of people and institutions it does business with.
As a signatory of the UN Global Compact, South Pole adheres to a strict code of ethics on anti-bribery and anti-corruption, as well as ICROA's Code of Best Practice. All of our emissions reduction projects adhere to internationally recognised standards and are audited regularly by independent third-party organisations to ensure the additionality and environmental integrity of projects.
As a prerequisite to act on behalf of or jointly with South Pole, we require third parties to comply with this CoC and all applicable laws. By third parties, we mean all third party workers that need access to South Pole systems, and other persons or entities who are either doing business with or acting for or on behalf of South Pole anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, distributors, resellers, partners, sales representatives, suppliers, vendors, subcontractors, consultants, intermediaries, or agents.
