The successful adoption of a supplier code of conduct

On the positive side, the successful adoption of a supplier code of conduct will differentiate your company from other small businesses when you are negotiating with other large customers. It is also helpful when communicating with your potential hires and with the local stakeholders that take an interest in your growing business.
