A responsible and reliable supply chain is essential to our mining operations. At Endeavour we want to work with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability and the same high standards of ethical business that we hold ourselves. 

Historically, to do business with Endeavour, we have required suppliers to honour the standards set out in our Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. This past year, we went a step further by developing a stand-alone Supplier Standards of Conduct that clearly set out additional expectations and clarifications of suppliers that work with us. A “supplier” is any third party individual or entity that provides goods and/or services to Endeavour, its subsidiaries and affiliates. 

The standards reflect Endeavour’s values of safe and sustainable mining practices and effective corporate governance, and now form part of all supplier agreements with Endeavour. We support these standards by conducting supplier assessments.

The standards provide suppliers with information and guidance on our expectations in five key areas: 

• Health and safety 
• Human rights 
• Labour standards
• Environmental responsibility
• Business conduct and ethics 

In addition to complying with these standards, suppliers that work on-site at Endeavour properties must also adhere to our applicable policies and procedures while on location.
