Choosing Suppliers — Business Partner Ethics — Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Customers and Partners
We Work with Business Partners Who Share Our Values
In this section, we'll cover:
Our Commitment
We will only do business with partners that comply with applicable legal requirements and meet our standards relating to labor, the environment, health and safety.
As RBA members, we adopt the RBA Code of Conduct which addresses labor, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management systems and commit to responsible business practices throughout the Jabil organization and our supply chain.
Why It’s Important
Our business partners consist of customers, suppliers, agents and intermediaries, and they all make significant contributions to our success. To create an environment where they have an incentive to continue to work with us, they must be confident that they will be treated lawfully and ethically.
We expect our suppliers to share our values and follow our Supplier Code of Conduct. The Supplier Code includes key expectations that suppliers must meet for ethical conduct related to labor and human rights, environmental issues, ethical responsibility and management systems.
How We Do the Right Thing

Relevant Conditions
Purchase supplies and select business partners based on need, quality, service, price, terms and other relevant conditions.
-
Protect Information
Protect our confidential and proprietary information including, where appropriate, with a confidentiality agreement.
-
Safeguard Data
Safeguard any confidential information or personal data that a supplier provides to Jabil. Use Jabil-approved software and SaaS applications for sharing files and collaborating with external customers and resources.
-
Jabil's Best Interests
Make supplier-related decisions in the best interest of Jabil, not for any personal benefit or gain for you or a family member.
-
Watch for Signs
Watch for signs that our business partners are violating applicable laws and regulations. These include bribery and corruption, environmental, employment, human rights and safety laws.

Train Employees
Make sure suppliers train their employees to follow the principles of our Supplier Code of Conduct.
