This Supplier Code of Conduct is an agreement between Adlibris AB, Adlibris.com AS, Adlibris OY, Campusbokhandeln i Sverige AB and Pocket Shop AB, hereinafter referred to as “Adlibris”, and manufacturers/suppliers/consultants/service providers, hereinafter referred to as the “Supplier”. The Supplier’s employees, subcontractors, consultants, interns, student staff and temporary employees are referred to in this policy as employees.
Adlibris is aware that our operations affect social, economic and environmental issues. Adlibris is committed to being a responsible employer and a good corporate citizen. The Adlibris Supplier Code of Conduct, hereinafter referred to as the Code, is the foundation of our work to ensure a sustainable supply chain.
All operations within Adlibris must be conducted with respect for and consideration of human rights, labour rights, health and safety, business ethics and the environment. The Code is an integrated part of Adlibris’ operations and is endorsed by top management. Adlibris expects all suppliers of products and services to act in a way that is consistent with this Code. For all purchases of products, services and/or raw materials, suppliers must take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties are aware of the Code and act responsibly in line with its guidelines.
The Code is based on the UN Global Compact’s ten principles and follows the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, the UN Convention against Corruption, and the requirements of the Swedish Regions’ Secretariat for Sustainable Procurement. The Code also follows the principles of the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and UNICEF’s Children’s Rights and Business Principles. It also requires the Supplier to comply with local legislation. In the event of a conflict between the Code and local law, the higher standard shall apply.
Suppliers must work towards full compliance with the Code. The Supplier shall also sign the Code as a commitment if requested by Adlibris. The Supplier shall participate in effective follow-up of compliance with the Code throughout the supply chain.
All internationally recognised human rights, as expressed in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, shall be respected.
Adlibris does not accept any form of forced labour or slave labour and does not accept the use of prison labour. Employment shall be freely chosen and the employee shall be free to leave the premises after the end of the work shift. No employee can be forced to continue their employment longer than they themselves wish.
Security guards may only be present for normal security reasons. Employees must not be required to lodge “deposits” or hand over their identity documents to the employer. Payment of wages to employees must not be withheld. (ILO Conventions 29 and 105 and the Modern Slavery Act 2015)
Adlibris does not allow child labour in any form. Unless local law sets a higher standard, no person younger than 15 years may be employed.
Employees under 18 years of age (young workers) must not perform work that could endanger their health or safety, including night shifts and overtime. For minors, management is responsible for providing age-appropriate working conditions, working hours and wages in accordance with applicable local law. In the absence of local legislation, the wages of student employees, interns and apprentices shall be at least the same as for other newly hired employees performing equivalent or similar work.
If a child is found to be working at a site where Adlibris products or components are produced, the Supplier must immediately define and implement a remediation plan to ensure that the child is removed from work in a safe manner and given support to continue school/education until the child is no longer a minor.
Wages shall be paid regularly and on time and shall reflect the employee’s experience, qualifications and performance. Wages and benefits for employees shall at least comply with national laws or industry standards, whichever is higher. Wages shall always be sufficient to meet basic needs and provide some discretionary income. For each pay period, employees shall receive an appropriate and understandable pay slip containing sufficient information to verify correct compensation for work performed. Wage deductions as a disciplinary measure are not allowed.
Regular working hours, excluding overtime, shall be set out in a contract and must not exceed 48 hours per week. All overtime must be voluntary and must not be used to replace
regular employment. Overtime shall always be compensated at a minimum of 125% of the regular wage.
The total number of hours worked in a seven-day period must not exceed 60 hours, except in exceptional cases where this is permitted by law and collective agreements, and where appropriate safeguards are in place. Employees shall be given at least one day off in every seven-day period or, if permitted by law, two days off in each 14-day period.
Adlibris does not accept any form of physical or verbal punishment or harassment. Disciplinary policies and procedures to support these requirements shall be clearly defined and communicated to employees
No employee may be treated unfairly on the basis of gender, age, political affiliation, religion, ethnic or national origin, caste, sexual orientation, pregnancy, membership in workers’ organisations including trade unions, or other personal characteristics, disabilities or any other grounds for discrimination.
All employees have the right to form or join workers’ organisations, including trade unions of their own choosing, and to bargain collectively. Adlibris does not accept disciplinary or discriminatory measures by the employer against employees who choose to peacefully and lawfully organise or join an association. (ILO Conventions 87, 98 and 135)
If the right to freedom of association or collective bargaining is restricted under applicable law, the Supplier shall still respect workers’ rights to freely organise and shall facilitate alternative, lawful forms of worker representation and dialogue with management.
The Supplier shall ensure that employment relationships are lawful, recognised and transparent, and that workers enjoy the rights and protection provided by applicable labour law and collective agreements. The Supplier shall not circumvent these obligations through, for example, false self-employment, labour-only contracting, excessive use of fixed-term contracts, unlawful use of agency workers or other arrangements aimed at undermining workers’ rights.
The Supplier shall provide and maintain a safe working environment and integrate sound health and safety management practices into its operations in line with local laws, recognised management systems such as ISO 45001 and ILO guidelines on occupational safety and health. Where hazards cannot be adequately controlled, employees shall be provided, at no cost, with suitable and well-maintained personal protective equipment and training materials about the risks associated with these hazards.
Employees shall have the right to refuse unsafe work and to report unhealthy working conditions. Reasonable measures must also be taken to reassign pregnant employees and breastfeeding mothers who work under hazardous conditions to work in safe conditions.
The Supplier shall identify and assess potential emergency situations. For each situation, the Supplier shall develop and implement preparedness plans and measures that minimise harm to life, the environment and property. Emergency drills must be carried out at least once a year or as required by local law, whichever requirement is stricter. Emergency plans should also include appropriate fire detection and firefighting equipment, free and unobstructed evacuation routes, suitable escape options, contact information for emergency services and recovery plans.
Workplace accidents, illnesses and near misses shall be monitored. The Supplier shall have a system that allows employees to report health and safety incidents and near misses, as well as a system to investigate, track and manage such reports. The Supplier shall implement corrective action plans to reduce risks, provide necessary medical treatment and facilitate employees’ return to work. First-aid supplies and medical assistance must be available for every shift in the event of an accident.
The Supplier’s premises shall be equipped with basic human facilities such as clean drinking water, sanitary toilets and adequate lighting, ventilation and heating. Employee dormitories provided by the Supplier or an employment agency shall be kept clean and safe and shall have appropriate emergency exits, hot water for bathing or showering, adequate lighting, heating and ventilation, individually secured and lockable storage space for personal and valuable belongings, and reasonable personal space along with reasonable entry and exit rules.
Suppliers shall provide employees with appropriate information on workplace health and safety and training in the employee’s language or in a language the employee can understand, covering all identified workplace risks for employees: mechanical, electrical, chemical, fire-related and physical risks. Health- and safety-related information shall be clearly posted at the facility or placed in a location that is identifiable and accessible to employees. Training shall be provided to all employees before work begins and on a regular basis thereafter.
Employees shall be encouraged to raise any health and safety concerns without fear of retaliation, including but not limited to mechanical, electrical, chemical, fire-related and physical risks.

Where applicable, substitution and/or implementation of alternative processes shall be carried out to reduce risks to health and the environment and to improve resource efficiency.

The Supplier shall comply with applicable tax and fee regulations in the countries where it operates and shall pay taxes and fees in the right place and on time. The Supplier must not use aggressive tax planning or arrangements that lack real business substance and are intended to unduly avoid tax.
All business transactions shall be carried out in a transparent manner and properly reflected in the Supplier’s books and records. Information about the Supplier’s work, health and safety, environmental practices, business activities, structure, financial situation and performance shall be disclosed in accordance with applicable regulations and industry practice.

The Supplier shall map and document its entire supply chain relevant to Adlibris products and services, as needed for Adlibris to fulfil its obligations regarding transparency and due diligence reporting.
