        Suppliers must not threaten workers with, nor subject them to, harsh or inhumane treatment, including but not limited to verbal abuse, mental or physical coercion, and sexual harassment.

        ND Paper appreciates that in todayโ€™s business environment, suppliers may have reason to subcontract certain aspects of their service delivery. To become a ND Paper supplier, you must pass through a competitive procurement process, which may include rigorous due diligence of your business. Suppliers who wish to delegate services to subcontractors will be expected to maintain the same level of excellence ND Paper expects to receive from its suppliers.

        Environmentally responsible production is at the core of who we are as ND Paper. Suppliers must develop, implement, and maintain environmentally responsible business practices, abiding by all federal, state, and local environmental laws.

        Business Ethics

        Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption
        Suppliers must not engage in corruption, extortion, embezzlement, or bribery to obtain an unfair or improper business advantage, such as paying or offering anything of value to any ND Paper employees or affiliates with the intent to improperly influence such personโ€™s business decision making or to secure some other improper business advantage.

ND Paper will not tolerate or condone retaliatory actions taken against any supplier employee or agent in response to the good faith reporting of such issues.
