​

The wide range of services Valiant provides and the locations in which we operate create supply chains that are highly varied in the potential risks associated with possible labor-related abuses. We therefore focus our efforts on preventing abuses in such supply chains according to the differing levels of risk. 

Valiant is committed to maintaining a culture of ethics, integrity, and compliance as well as fostering safe and respectful workplaces. Accordingly, Valiant’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct lays out the expectation that our employees do business with integrity and obey the letter and spirit of applicable laws. 

​

Valiant maintains a third-party administered ethics hotline which allows employees to report any misconduct, including anonymously, 24 hours a day, every day of the year with interpretation in over 150 languages. Valiant promotes a “Speak Up” culture and has zero tolerance for any retaliation, direct or indirect, against an employee who raises a concern. 

​

To encourage employees to report concerns and ask questions, and understand applicable rules related to slavery and human trafficking, Valiant maintains the following policies and procedures: 

​

• Code of Business Ethics and Conduct 

• Supplier Code of Conduct 

• Raising Concerns and Non-Retaliation 

• Human Rights and Combatting Trafficking Policy

Valiant requires all suppliers to adhere to our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct or an equivalent policy. Our Code specifically requires our business partners to comply with all applicable laws and regulations including those covering labor, bribery, corruption, and human trafficking. We expect them to adhere to both the letter and spirit of the law.

​

Our suppliers must respect the rights of all human beings and work to ensure their supply chains are not subject to human trafficking, slavery, indentured servitude, child labor, or other illegal or unethical labor conditions. 

Prior to entering into a business relationship with a third-party entity or individual, Valiant conducts reasonable due diligence including use of third party screening tools. For any business operating in a higher risk environment, additional diligence using the above solutions will be conducted tailored to the identified risk. 

Each Valiant employee is required to take the annual Code of Business Ethics and Conduct training, which covers human trafficking and related concerns. Valiant regularly communicates with employees on a variety of legal, ethics, and compliance issues, including slavery and human trafficking regarding resources, as well as the resources to ask questions or report concerns. 

Through its active ethics training, robust reporting system and responsiveness to that system Valiant has been able to prevent any aspect of this crime. As it engages further worldwide Valiant will further improve its processes and engagement with its supply chain to ensure its operations continue lawfully and in compliance with international law on this issue.
