Supplier Sourcing

A material impact area for our communities

Our Goal

Maintain a Supplier Code of Conduct for material supplier contracts and renewals to encourage alignment with our values.

BBH understands that as a global organization with thousands of business relationships, our sustainability impact includes the work that is done on our behalf in addition to the work we do directly. As such, we pursue relationships with suppliers who share our values, including ethical dealings, environmental stewardship, human rights, and labor practices that support equality, dignity, and inclusion. We believe all companies providing products and services to BBH should align their guidelines, policies, and practices with ours, which are in turn aligned with those of our clients and employees.

BBH maintains a global vendor management process and conducts comprehensive due diligence on each supplier with which we engage. We uphold a Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Code”) to outline our expectations for supplier practices related to legal and regulatory compliance, human rights, environmental responsibility, and more. Since January 2020, BBH vendors that meet a materiality threshold are confirmed to have standards similar to or exceeding BBH’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
