CODES OF CONDUCT – SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES

Vietnam Charcoal requires all employees, contractors, and business partners to conduct their activities in a responsible, ethical, and legally compliant manner.
Our Codes of Conduct are guided by relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for responsible behavior.

Energy Responsibility (SDG 7)
All business activities shall support responsible energy use. Products and processes must be based on renewable or legally sourced biomass materials, and energy efficiency shall be continuously improved where applicable.

Labor and Human Rights (SDG 8)
Forced labor, child labor, and discriminatory practices are strictly prohibited. Safe working conditions, fair wages, and compliance with applicable labor laws are mandatory for all operations and supply chain partners.

Responsible Sourcing and Production (SDG 12)
Raw materials must originate from legal, verifiable, and controlled sources. The use of timber from natural forests or protected areas is strictly forbidden. Waste reduction and efficient use of resources are required throughout production and logistics.

Environmental Protection and Climate Responsibility (SDG 13)
Activities must be conducted in a manner that minimizes environmental impact. Emissions, waste, and pollution shall be controlled in accordance with local regulations and international best practices.

Forest Protection and Biodiversity (SDG 15)
Suppliers must comply with forestry and land-use regulations. Any sourcing that contributes to deforestation, biodiversity loss, or ecosystem degradation is not permitted.

Compliance with this Code of Conduct is a prerequisite for cooperation with Vietnam Charcoal. Violations may result in corrective actions, suspension, or termination of business relationships.
