Our Due Diligence Code of Conduct (DDCOC) sets out the basic rules we will follow and the values that will guide our decisions. It also points us to a more detailed processes and procedures relating to the purchase and supply of alcoholic products.
The DDCOC is built on the premise of ‘knowing your customer or supplier‘ and the commercial transactions that will be involved. Supply chains are only as strong as the weakest link and the purpose of DeliQuescent DDCOC is to prevent entering into commercial transactions with any illicit customer or supplier. The policy will aid in ensuring all customers and suppliers are regularly reviewed so any changes of activities are identified and the appropriate action taken.
