Supplier code of conduct

Queen Victoria Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust) is fully aware of the responsibility it bears toward its patients, employees and the communities in which it works. Thus, we have given ourselves a strict set of ethical values to guide us in our business dealings. The Trust expects all its suppliers to adhere to the same ethical principles. For this purpose, the Trust has drawn up this Supplier Code of Conduct which is based on the United Nations Global Compact.
