30 Cargill 2020 Annual Report Suppliers GRI 102-9, 103-2, 103-3 | 414, 414-1, 412-2 Material topic: Responsible management and innovation in agricultural practices We work to achieve with our suppliers the same standard that Cargill follows in business and in the relationship with employees - integrity, ethics and transparency. We continuously improve the purchasing relations and have the Supplier Code of Conduct as a tool to clearly guide partnering companies, so that they treat their employees with dignity and respect and have the same consideration with the communities in which we act jointly. Our procurement network covers a broad range of activities, among which are raw materials, packaging, IT, corporate supplies, industrial inputs, safety, transportation, commu- nication and technical consultancy. Part of the contracting is centralized in the purchasing sector; agricultural procure- ment is done at each business unit. During contracting and for the duration of the contract, we carry out due diligence actions and, in case abuses are reported concerning the Code of Conduct, we take immedi- ate and necessary action to remedy the situation. Employees from the purchasing sector can find in the Purchaser Code of Conduct the guidelines to deal with potential situations of ethical or interest conflicts. The doc- ument details how to act to solve this type of situation. The contracts have clauses concerning social-environmental issues determined by the company policies, and suppliers commit to them with no exceptions. These rules, for exam- ple, disallow contracting companies involved in degrading work exploitation or analogous to slavery and child labor (learn more on page 45). We conduct due diligence actions for our suppliers with regard to our Code of Conduct
