Supplier Code of Conduct

This Supplier Code of Conduct  (code) outlines the minimum requirements that all suppliers must meet when conducting business with us. The purpose of this code is to establish clear expectations for ethical, legal, environmental, and social standards that all suppliers, contractors, and business partners of Wind Estate are required to meet. This code supports Wind Estate’s commitment to conducting business with integrity, transparency, and respect for people and the environment, while promoting responsible and sustainable business practices throughout our supply chain.

Through this code, Wind Estate aims to foster trustworthy and long-term supplier relationships based on compliance, accountability, and continuous improvement. By setting common standards for ethical conduct, labor and human rights, health and safety, environmental responsibility, and data protection, we seek to mitigate risks, support sustainable value creation, and ensure that our supply chain reflects the values and principles upon which our business is built. This code applies to all suppliers, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, and other third parties providing goods or services to Wind Estate. Compliance with the requirements set forth in this code is expected throughout the entire business relationship and forms an integral part of our supplier engagement and evaluation processes.

Furthermore, suppliers and contractors are expected to ensure that their own suppliers, subcontractors, and business partners operate in accordance with the principles outlined in this code. This includes communicating these requirements throughout their supply chain, implementing appropriate measures to monitor compliance, and taking corrective action where necessary. By engaging in business with Wind Estate, suppliers acknowledge their responsibility to uphold these standards and support responsible business conduct across the supply chain.
