Scope
FloWorks is committed to conducting its business in an ethical, legal, and socially responsible manner.
FloWorks expects its suppliers to share this commitment and, therefore, has established this Supplier
Code of Conduct. Although there may be different legal and cultural environments applicable to its
suppliers, FloWorks suppliers must meet the following minimum requirements in order to do business
with FloWorks.
Human Rights & Labor
Respect for People is a core value of FloWorks. FloWorks expects its suppliers to adopt sound labor
practices and treat their workers fairly in accordance with local laws and regulations. In addition,
suppliers must comply with the following standards:
Respect Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining
Suppliers will respect employees’ lawful right of free association, as well as their lawful right to
join, form or not to join a labor union or otherwise engage in collective bargaining.
No Forced and Compulsory Labor
Suppliers shall not use any forced labor, whether in the form of prison labor, indentured labor,
bonded labor or otherwise.
No Harassment and Abuse of Labor
Suppliers will ensure that their employees are not subjected to psychological, verbal, sexual or
physical harassment or any other form of abuse and will comply with all applicable laws on
harassment and abuse of employees.
Labor Laws
Suppliers shall comply with local minimum working age laws and requirements and not employ
child labor.
No Discrimination
Suppliers will not discriminate in any condition of employment on the basis of race, color,
national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, HIV/AIDS status, trade union membership, sexual
orientation or any other personal characteristic unrelated to job performance and will comply
with all applicable employment discrimination laws.

businesses and communities where FloWorks operates by engaging with small businesses,
minority- and woman-owned businesses and other diverse categories.

applicable laws on wages and benefits.

Democratic Republic of the Congo or the adjoining countries (the “Covered Countries”) in a
manner which directly or indirectly finances or benefits armed groups in the Covered countries.
Supplier will source Conflict Minerals from smelters that have been verified as compliant with
the CFSP (Conflict-Free Smelter Program) assessment protocols of the CFSI (Conflict-Free
Sourcing Initiative). Supplier commits to abide by all applicable laws and regulations related to
Conflict Minerals and agrees to provide all necessary information requested by FloWorks
concerning products supplied by Supplier to enable FloWorks to complete its reasonable country
of origin inquiries and due diligence with respect to Conflict Minerals

and safe and healthy workplaces. FloWorks expects its suppliers to make similar commitments to
continuously improve their environmental, health and safety performance.

Suppliers will comply with all applicable environmental laws. Suppliers will have systems in

provide a safe and healthy workplace for their employees, including appropriate controls,
