Supplier Code of Conduct
How we do business matters just as much as what we build. We expect the same from every partner we work with. Because when our name is on the machine, every decision behind it should stand up to the same level of integrity and care.
We hold ourselves and our suppliers to standards that reflect honesty, accountability and respect for people and the planet. This Code of Conduct outlines what we expect from our partners as part of a lasting, productive relationship.
Ethics and Fair Business Practices
We expect our suppliers to do business the right way: Honest, fair and with no shortcuts.
That means competing fairly, avoiding conflicts of interest and following all laws that protect fair trade and transparency.
We value:
- Straightforward, honest communication
- Fair negotiations and transparent transactions
- Compliance with all applicable laws, including product liability and subcontracting regulations
Trust isn’t built with promises. It’s built by doing the right thing, every time.
Respect for People
The way people are treated on the job matters as much as the work itself. Dignity, safety, and opportunity should define every workplace.
We expect our suppliers to:
- Provide fair wages and reasonable working hours
- Maintain safe and healthy conditions for every employee
- Prohibit forced, underage or discriminatory labor practices
Respect for people isn’t a line item. It’s the foundation of every lasting partnership.
Quality and Continuous Improvement
Our brand is built on performance, durability and reliability, and that starts with every component we source.
We expect our suppliers to maintain rigorous quality systems, deliver consistent results and look for better ways to work every day.
We encourage open communication because improvement only happens when we push each other to do better.
Environmental Responsibility
We take our responsibility to the environment seriously, and we expect our suppliers to do the same.
That means minimizing waste, managing resources wisely and following environmental laws and standards without exception.
We also prioritize innovation that supports lower emissions, smarter energy use and sustainable materials. We believe tough machines should never come at the expense of the world they work in.
Data and Confidentiality
Confidentiality isn’t just policy. It’s trust in action.
Suppliers must protect Takeuchi’s intellectual property, proprietary data and any confidential information shared during our work together. And we hold ourselves to that same promise.
Accountability and Communication
If something doesn’t look right, speak up.
Suppliers should report potential compliance issues or risks immediately and without fear of retaliation.
Transparency keeps small problems from becoming big ones, plus it’s how we protect the integrity of every partnership we build.
Our Shared Commitment
Takeuchi’s supplier relationships are built on mutual respect, trust and accountability.
When we all hold the line — on quality, fairness and integrity — we protect more than our reputations. We protect the pride that comes with building something that lasts.
