Supplier Code of Ethical Conduct

The Supplier Code of Ethical Conduct provides the foundation for Emory University and its suppliers to build and maintain relationships based on fairness, trust, respect for the rights of individuals, compliance with the law, and sustainable business practices. Our suppliers are critical to our success; therefore, we strive to select suppliers who will maintain a commitment to strong ethical standards.

Supplier Identification Program

With hundreds of suppliers on and across campus each day, it is sometimes hard to identify the suppliers who have a contractual agreement with Emory. Therefore, we ask our preferred contract supplier to participate in wearing Emory ID badges while on campus. If you are an Emory contract supplier, please contact Procurement's Sourcing team for further information on obtaining an Emory ID badge.
