Supply Chain

Sourcing responsibly, ethically and sustainably

We expect our suppliers to share our high standard of business ethics and we work with those that act in a socially, environmentally and economically responsible manner.

The Post Supplier Code of Conduct, combined with our Global Code of Conduct, sets out the expectations for doing business with us and our vision for conducting business ethically, responsibly, with respect for human dignity and in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. As a global corporate citizen, we engage business partners and their supply chain to adhere to our standards and expectations including:

  • Ensuring products present no threat to health or human safety.
  • Maintaining a culture of ethics, integrity and full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
  • Complying with wage and hour laws.
  • Recognizing employees’ right to freedom of association and collective bargaining.
  • A zero-tolerance policy for the use of child labor, forced labor or human trafficking practices.
  • Producing products and services safely and with respect for the environment.

Our supplier standards and expectations apply to all business partners, including suppliers, consultants, contractors and subcontractors. Employees of suppliers are encouraged to promptly report ethical concerns. Adherence to this Supplier Code of Conduct is mandatory for each supplier and its supply chain with Post Holdings reserving the right to inspection as specified within terms and conditions.
