Our Supplier Code of Conduct

Zyxel publicly announce its “Sustainable Procurement Policies and Guidelines” and “Supplier Code of Conduct” to disclose its commitments to creating a responsible supply chain. We have identified 49 corresponding criteria among six main sectors, and all of them respond to internationally valued sustainability standards.

Following these criteria, we ask suppliers to sign the “Statement of Supplier Corporate Social Responsibility Commitment” which requires suppliers to follow and adhere to the relevant sustainability code and standards.
