Snap Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Snap”) are committed to trust and integrity in their business operations. This Supplier Code of Conduct (“Supplier Code”) helps ensure that Snap partners with suppliers who uphold the same ethical standards by setting forth specific requirements our suppliers must follow in the areas of social responsibility, business ethics, mineral sourcing, supplier conduct, and assessments. This Supplier Code applies to Snap suppliers and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and subcontractors (each a “Supplier”) providing goods or services to Snap. The requirements set forth in this Supplier Code are in addition to any requirements imposed by contract.

Snap Inc. requires that its suppliers provide quality components. We believe quality is best optimized by ensuring that Suppliers have appropriate quality assurance processes and controls.

Supplier must therefore comply with industry standards for manufacturing goods and providing of services to Snap Inc., including a commitment to the philosophy of continuous quality improvement. Supplier will collaborate with Snap Inc. to identify quality issues, risks, and costs, and develop plans for improvement where warranted. Supplier will timely resolve any deficiencies.

Supplier’s commitment to continuous quality improvement will necessarily involve changes to manage cost, quality, delivery, and technology. However, implementation of unapproved changes can have unintended effects on our products. Supplier accordingly will notify Snap Inc. of changes made to materials, products, or  processes.

Supplier will make supplier management a part of its quality system. Supplier will actively manage its suppliers, alert Snap Inc. if it becomes aware of any quality (or other) risks posed by a particular supplier, and collaborate with Snap Inc. to agree on how to mitigate and manage any such issues.

Supplier will fully conform with the laws, rules, and regulations (collectively, “laws”) of the countries where it operates, will conform to the requirements of this Supplier Code of Conduct, and will communicate these requirements in writing to its own suppliers and subcontractors. Supplier must be able to demonstrate compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct on request. Snap Inc. will assess conformance to these requirements and will consider a Supplier’s conformance in making sourcing and procurement decisions.

Our Social Responsibility Standards are drawn from industry codes of conduct, International Labor Organization Conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. They require all Suppliers to ensure that working conditions in their operations and supply chains are safe, that all workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically.

Supplier must uphold the human rights of workers and treat them with dignity and respect. This applies to all workers, including without limitation temporary, migrant, student, and juvenile contract, and dispatch workers, as well as direct employees.

Supplier will not use forced, bonded (including debt bondage), indentured, or involuntary prison labor, and will not engage in slavery or trafficking of any person. Supplier will ensure that workers have access to their personal documentation (e.g., government-issued identification, passports,  or work permits), and will pay any agency recruitment/employment fees and expenses.

Supplier will not use child labor. We consider child labor to be anyone under 15, unless local law sets a higher threshold. Supplier agrees that workers under 18 will not work overtime or perform night work or physically demanding labor.

Supplier will comply with applicable work hours and overtime laws, will set the maximum at 60 hours/week, including overtime, except in emergencies, and will guarantee at least one full day off every 7 days.

Supplier will comply with all applicable wages and benefits laws, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours, and legally mandated benefits.

Supplier will comply with all applicable laws on abuse of employees. Supplier will not engage in any harsh or inhumane treatment, including but not limited to sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion, or verbal abuse. Disciplinary policies and procedures in support of these requirements shall be clearly defined and communicated to workers.

In its hiring and employment practices, Supplier will not discriminate based on race, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, ethnicity, disability, pregnancy, religion, political affiliation, union membership, covered veteran status, protected genetic information, marital status, or any other category protected under applicable law. Workers or potential workers should not be subjected to medical tests or physical exams that could be used in a discriminatory way.

Supplier will comply with all applicable laws on freedom of association and collective bargaining. Workers’ right to associate freely, seek representation, and join worker councils will be respected.

Supplier recognizes that a safe and healthy work environment minimizes work-related injury and illness, enhances the quality of products and services, and boosts consistency of production and worker retention and morale. Supplier will comply with all applicable health-and-safety requirements and ensure that the following requirements are met:

Supplier will take steps to eliminate any adverse (and potentially adverse) effects on the community, environment, and natural resources and to safeguard health and safety. Specifically:

Supplier will periodically evaluate its operations and those of its subsidiaries, affiliates, and subcontractors to ensure compliance with this Code. Supplier will allow Snap Inc. or a Snap Inc. agent to conduct an onsite assessment of any operations that are providing goods or services for Snap Inc. or for Snap Inc.’s benefit. Supplier will commit to timely correct any deficiencies identified by an assessment, inspection, or other review.
