SUPPLIER SUSTAINABILITY CODE OF CONDUCT

As a leading financial services organization that has pledged to protect the environment  and align with best practices, Sterling Bank acknowledges that our business social and  environmental performance, customers, and suppliers play a substantial role in realizing our  strategic goals and ultimate success. 

While we admit that our suppliers are independent entities, we also believe that a supplier’s  business conduct and actions have the potential to impact our brand reputation and  business success. As such, we expect that our suppliers will adhere to the standards set out  in this Supplier Sustainability Code of Practice. 

The code is designed to:

• • Improve the environmental and social performance of our procurement activities,
  • Reduce the social and ecological risks associated with our procurement activities, and
  • Detail our requirements and expectations of our suppliers.
