Did you know that as of December 2022, over 450 organisations have signed up to the Welsh Government’s Code of Practice on Ethical Employment in Supply Chains?
Since the Code was launched in 2017, the number of organisations signing up has steadily increased. Signatories represent a wide range of sectors. These include public bodies, third sector organisations, and businesses from sectors as diverse as construction, healthcare, cleaning services, and TV and film production.
What does signing up to the Code mean?
It means your organisation has agreed to adhere to the Code’s 12 commitments addressing unethical and unlawful practices, such as labour exploitation, blacklisting, false self-employment, and unfair use of zero hours contracts.
The Welsh Government expects all public sector organisations, businesses and third sector organisations in receipt of public sector funding to sign up to this Code of Practice. We also encourage other organisations operating in Wales from any sector to sign up. Additional information and guidance is available here.
Should your organisation wish to sign up to the Code and for any other queries, please contact CommercialPolicy@gov.wales.
