Introduction

Kizito Maritime Agencies Limited is committed to conduct every aspect of its business with integrity. Kizito’s vision, mission and core values demand collaboration throughout the supply chain. This involves behaving ethically, complying with the rule of law and adhering to the various element of our Code of Business Conduct.
The Kizito Code of Business Conduct for Suppliers sets mandatory requirements for all suppliers that enter into any agreement with Kizito.
Kizito encourages all of its suppliers to go beyond the supplier code requirements and strive for continuous improvement across all of the areas it encompasses.

Compliance

Suppliers must fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations and the requirements set out in this supplier code.

Human Rights and Labor Standards

Suppliers shall support and respect the protection of proclaimed human rights and must not be complicit in any form of human rights abuse.

Specifically, Suppliers:

Must provide their employees with a safe and healthy working environment.
Must, in addition to complying with applicable laws comply with relevant industry standards on working hours. Suppliers must provide rest days and ensure that any overtime is properly documented and compensated.
Must, as legally permitted, allow workers to freely associate with others, form and join organisations of their choice, and bargain collectively. Kizito does not accept disciplinary or discriminative actions from the employer against employees who choose to peacefully and lawfully organise or join an association.

Furthermore, Suppliers:

Must not tolerate any form of discrimination during recruitment or employment. This includes, but is not limited to discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, age, sex, marital status or sexual orientation in its workplace.
Must not use any form of forced or compulsory labour. All labour must be voluntary.

Must not use child labour. No persons may be employed or engaged in any work if they are below the legal working age. Furthermore, Kizito requires that no child be engaged in any form of work that could be harmful to his/her health, moral or social development, even if the applicable legal working age is below 18.

Environment

Suppliers must operate in an environmentally sound manner and be willing to minimize environmental impacts within their reach. We expect suppliers to collaborate with us to reduce the environmental impacts of our products and our services.

Anti-Corruption

Suppliers must not, in the conduct of their business, engage in fraudulent activities or extortion. Suppliers must not offer, pay, request, or accept any form of bribe.

Right to audit and termination

Kizito reserves the right to verify that suppliers are in compliance with the supplier code through assessments and/or audits, where third parties may be used.

Kizito also reserves the right to immediately terminate any and all agreements with a supplier found to be in violation of any applicable law, or in material breach of any of the requirements of the supplier code, without incurring any liability towards the supplier.

Confidentiality

Reporting and/or inspection shall be done in such a manager as to avoid unrestricted disclosure of supplier’s confidential information, including where Kizito uses third parties.

Obligations

The obligations under the supplier code are in addition to the supplier’s other obligations pursuant to any purchase or other agreement in place between Kizito and the supplier. These obligations shall continue in force in respect of any deliveries from the supplier to Kizito, regardless of the termination or expiry of any purchase or other agreement between the parties.
