Ethical Procurement & Sustainability
Anglo Solar is dedicated to conducting business in a manner that is both socially responsible and environmentally sustainable. Our ethical procurement policy is a reflection of this commitment, ensuring that every aspect of our supply chain aligns with our core values of sustainability, human rights, and ethical business practices.

At the heart of our policy is a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability. We seek out suppliers who not only comply with environmental regulations but also go beyond compliance to implement innovative and sustainable practices. This includes:
Use of renewable energy sources
Efforts to reduce waste
Measures to minimize carbon footprints
By collaborating with suppliers who prioritize environmental stewardship, we aim to reduce our overall environmental impact and promote a more sustainable future.

Anglo Solar upholds the highest standards of human rights and labour practices. We require our suppliers to adhere to international labour standards, which include:
Providing fair wages
Ensuring safe working conditions
Strictly prohibiting child and forced labour
To ensure compliance, we conduct regular audits and assessments of our suppliers, helping us identify areas for improvement and support best practices. By maintaining these high standards, we aim to foster a supply chain that respects and promotes the dignity and rights of all workers.
Ethical Business Conduct
Integrity and transparency are fundamental to our business operations. We expect our suppliers to operate with the same level of ethical conduct. This includes:
Adherence to anti-corruption laws
Avoidance of conflicts of interest
Compliance with fair trade practices
Open communication is encouraged to address any ethical concerns that may arise, fostering a collaborative approach to resolving issues. Our commitment to ethical business conduct ensures that our operations are not only legally compliant but also morally sound.
Community Engagement

Education programs
Health initiatives
Economic development programs
By working with socially responsible suppliers, we aim to create shared value and promote sustainable growth for all stakeholders involved. This community engagement is a crucial aspect of our ethical procurement policy, reflecting our belief that businesses should play a positive role in society.
