- Legal and responsible sourcing: cultivated material, required documentation, and no knowing involvement in illegal or wild-harvested trade.
- Truthful records and communications: no falsified plantation data, misleading market claims, or concealed material risks.
- Fair dealing: transparent terms, respect for contractual rights, and no bribery, kickbacks, or improper influence.
- People and communities: respect for human rights, workplace safety, dignity, and applicable labor standards.
- Conflicts and confidentiality: disclose conflicts, protect personal and commercial information, and use company assets responsibly.
- Accountability: concerns should be raised without retaliation and investigated through appropriate governance channels.
