Ethical business practices and labour safety
As a long-standing European and certified supplier of electronic components, we are fully aware of our responsibility and obligation to the laws and regulations relating to the safety, health and wellbeing of every single employee in our supply chain and all the people who come into contact with our components.
Especially because we operate on different continents with different cultures and histories, we are very pleased that our Far East partners share the same vision and definition of proper business and pay attention to human rights, ethics and labour safety.
