Background

This Supplier Code is reviewed and adopted by the board as necessary, and at least once a year.

Skolon is an international edtech player with hundreds of thousands of users, and we have a responsibility to ensure that our operations are conducted in a sustainable and ethically correct manner. Skolon’s Supplier Code is based on the company’s Sustainability Policy, and describes how our suppliers and partners are expected to act in relation to ethics and sustainability.

The Supplier Code is based on the principles and targets of the UN’s Global Compact. These principles are, in turn, based on the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

When carrying out assignments for the company, Skolon’s suppliers shall follow this Supplier Code and ensure that the code is communicated and complied with. This Supplier Code applies to all suppliers who provide Skolon with products, staff or services.
