We’re excited to introduce UC’s Supplier Code of Conduct, an essential step in ensuring that the businesses we work with share our commitment to ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility. This Code reflects UC’s ongoing efforts to enhance access and inclusion while fostering a community that supports lifelong learning and growth for all its members.
We depend on a wide network of suppliers. By setting clear expectations, we can ensure that our partners:
- Treat workers fairly and uphold labor rights
- Operate sustainably and minimize environmental impact
- Conduct business ethically, free from fraud and corruption
- Support diversity, equity, and inclusion in their operations.
UC expects every member of our community—including our Suppliers—to join us in our shared pursuit of these principles. This Code helps us manage risks and protect the university’s reputation while strengthening our commitment to building a fair, inclusive, and environmentally responsible future.
If you work with suppliers in any capacity, please take a moment to review the new guidelines. Thank you for helping us uphold these important values!
