Business Conduct

Vertiv was founded on the principles of integrity and good corporate governance. The Vertiv Code of Conduct underpins these high standards and governs our relationships with all of our stakeholders, internally and externally. The Code of Conduct, updated in 2021 and published in 20 different languages, outlines the actions and behaviors expected from every Vertiv employee and member of the Board of Directors (the Board) around the world. Employees have easy online access to instructions for reporting ethics concerns or suspected ethical, legal, accounting, or financial violations, which they can do anonymously and without fear of retaliation.

Responsible Supply Chain

Vertiv operates across a global supply chain. As such, we expect our suppliers are doing business in accordance with the law and to the standards of Vertiv.

Vertiv’s Supplier Code of Conduct sets forth the principles by which we expect all of our suppliers to adhere. It covers topics that include, but are not limited to: compliance with applicable laws and regulations, ethics, anti-corruption, intellectual property, human rights and working conditions, and the environment. We require all new suppliers to affirm that they have reviewed and acknowledge this code at onboarding. Furthermore, we conduct surveys of our suppliers to ascertain levels of risk around human rights abuses and environmental noncompliance.
