At Aria Ingredients, we find it important to establish partnerships with suppliers and sellers who align themselves with the economical, social, and responsible viewpoint we advocate for.

How To Become A Supplier For Aria Ingredients?

The steps to becoming a supplier for Aria Ingredients are inherently uncomplicated. First and foremost, we require a basic background on your business, in addition to a documentation on your product and process development and service area, if you want to establish a relationship with Aria Ingredients as a Supplier.

Before moving forward with a strategic alliance, we look into whether or not certain guidelines are being met and respected. Severe guidelines on breach of ethics, civil rights, economic sanctions, as well as other concerns must be understood, empathised, practised, and followed by all suppliers. As a socially responsible corporation, we naturally demand fairness, integrity, and adherence to all relevant laws and regulations.

Aria Ingredients harbours certain expectations from the suppliers. Furthermore, we follow strict supervision to ensure that our principles and framework are respected and adhered to. They are the following:

Supplier Expectations

Considering both human rights and environmental issues: All workers must be treated with the utmost respect, and this is your responsibility as a supplier. Violence, harassment, corporal punishment, other types of illegal discrimination, as well as any intimidation or other forms of coercion, are all forbidden. We demand that our suppliers uphold negotiations, encourage equality under the law and inclusion in the workforce, and advance the health & well-being of all stakeholders.

It is the duty of every staff to ensure that vendors follow our code of conduct and stance on human rights. The global certification standards for our security staff include human rights knowledge, and our contracts with suppliers include similar language. Additionally, suppliers are required to abide by regulations governing working conditions, pay, trafficking, and the avoidance of child labour and labor exploitation.

Conflict of Interests: Companionship amongst personnel of Aria Ingredients and suppliers are normal and appropriate, but they shouldn’t be exploited to sway the company’s commercial judgments. Staff members of Aria Ingredients must not have any economic ties to or employment agreements with suppliers that would clash with or seem to contradict the employee’s duty to behave in our company’s best interests.

Employees of suppliers must notify Aria Ingredients if they are related biologically or have any other relationships that might give rise to a conflict of interest. Alternatively, suppliers must make sure that Aria Ingredients employees disclose any such relationships.

Bribery: Before speaking with a government official on Aria Ingredients’ place, suppliers must partake in the firm’s prequalification screening procedure. Suppliers are required to always abide by all local and federal laws against corruption in business and government.

We forbid misconduct in any form, and we want our suppliers to do the same. This means that while interacting with a public authority or another corporation, suppliers are not permitted to provide or receive any favours, bribes, or other immoral incentives.

Business Gifts: It’s against the law to give money or money-equivalents like gift cards for cash. Business travel, numerous dinners, and lavish entertainment are things that suppliers shouldn’t give Aria Ingredients staff. It is permissible to provide standard business dinners and tiny nominally valued mementoes of appreciation.

Financial and Business Documentation: All transactions (including any presents, meals, recreation, or other items of value) made in the name of Aria Ingredients or using money provided by Aria Ingredients must be documented by the supplier. Suppliers are required to provide Aria Ingredients with a record of this statement upon demand.

Additionally, suppliers could be obliged to keep a specific amount of food security and product accountability paperwork. We anticipate suppliers to keep up-to-date financial records for their transactions with Aria Ingredients.

Economic Sanctions: Suppliers are not permitted to buy and sell with, or use a third party to engage in any activity that is prohibited by trade sanctions laws from being carried out directly, in relation to the business they conduct with Aria Ingredients — unless otherwise authorised by Aria Ingredients’s Legal department. Hence, Aria Ingredients demands its suppliers to abide by the relevant laws and regulations of the nations where it operates its business respecting trade sanctions.

Data Safety: As part of the business partnership, suppliers are obligated to safeguard and preserve any sensitive Aria Ingredients data they may access. Comparable to this, suppliers who are bound by a legal or contractual need to keep some information private should not divulge it to anybody at Aria Ingredients.

Product Quality, Credibility, and Reliability: We demand that our suppliers deliver items and services that are safe, appropriate for satisfying specified and projected requirements, and in compliance with all relevant rules and regulations.

Addressing Possible Misbehaviour: Suppliers can contact Aria Ingredients with inquiries or complaints by using our contact information. We also allow complaints to be sent confidentially, under applicable and relevant rules, laws, and regulations, to address a level of privacy, especially if the matter is sensitive.
