This policy outlines KTU’s commitment to upholding human rights, environmental protection, and fair labor practices in all purchasing decisions.
The policy encourages partnerships with suppliers who adhere to principles of ethical production, sustainability, and corporate accountability. It also prioritizes products and services that minimize environmental impact, support local economies, and align with the goals of SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production.
