Supplier Code of Conduct
At IPG, we are committed to the fundamental values of integrity, fairness, mutual respect, teamwork and innovation. We base our culture on strong values that are practiced every day in everything that we do.
IPG expects our suppliers to commit to high standards in the areas of ethics, business integrity, human rights, protection of information, health and safety and environmental management. Our goal is to ensure that IPG does business with partners that operate with the highest ethical standards and that have a record of law-abiding conduct.
Conflict Minerals
IPG Photonics products, like the products of many other high-tech companies, contain various metals that were purchased from third-party vendors and originate from all over the world. These metals include tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“conflict minerals”). These metals have been labeled “conflict minerals” because they may be sourced, in part, from the conflict-laden Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries and because some of the trading of these metals is believed to be funding the illegal armed groups responsible for the conflict there.
IPG is committed to responsible sourcing of conflict minerals and related legal compliance, including the due diligence and disclosure requirements relating to the manufacturing of IPG products. The company conducts annual due diligence of its suppliers to determine the sourcing of the conflict minerals in its products and confirm there is no evidence that the conflict minerals in our products funded conflict.
IPG will not knowingly source any conflict minerals from sources that fund conflict. If IPG due diligence reveals that any of our suppliers have provided IPG with goods or metals that funded conflict, IPG will seek alternative sources for such goods or metals.
Supply Chain Human Rights
IPG expects its suppliers to adhere to global principles of human rights that include freedom of association, right to organize, abolition of forced labor, elimination of child labor, equality and antidiscrimination rights and provision of legally mandated employee benefits.As a company that must deliver reliable and high-technology products to our customers and end-users, IPG requires our suppliers to maintain highly trained personnel and best-in-class processes so IPG can meet all customer requirements.
To meet these objectives, IPG implemented policies, including our Anti-Human Trafficking Policy.
