QL has crafted a Supply Chain Policy to establish a set of guidelines governing procurement activities of QL and our suppliers who conduct business with us and on behalf of QL for implementation of a sound supplier management process. Aimed at promoting environmental stewardship, social equity and regulatory compliance, the policy outlines QL’s commitments in working with our suppliers on environmental and social sustainability aspects.

While QL places great emphasis on respect for human rights and fair labour practices, our suppliers are similarly expected to uphold ethical standards in their operations. They are encouraged to treat their employees equally, with respect and dignity. This covers prohibition of child, forced and involuntary labour, observation to minimum wage, work hours, overtime and benefits, respect to freedom of association and collective bargaining, and ensuring workplace security, safety and health.
