Supply chain

The Adobe product life cycle begins by establishing relationships with third-party vendors who share our values and represent our dedication to responsible workplace practices. Our global supply chain spans North America, Asia and Europe, and our commitments include compliance with federal, state and local legislation; opt-in industry-wide efforts; and company-led initiatives.

Adobe codes of conduct

Adobe has a comprehensive Code of Business Conduct that sets standards and expectations for employee behavior both at work and in the marketplace. This code is based on our guiding principles: integrity, respect, honesty, quality, responsibility and fairness. We engage only with business partners, suppliers and vendors who share our commitment these principles. We’ve also adopted a comprehensive Business Partner Code of Conduct, derived from the United Nations Global Compact, that details our expectations for all business partners. Topics covered in the Business Partner Code of Conduct include integrity and compliance with laws; labor standards; environmental standards; and procedures.

Anti-corruption compliance and training

Adobe is committed to conducting business free from extortion, bribery and all unlawful, unethical or fraudulent activity. Adobe partners must not offer, give, promise or authorize any bribe, gift, loan, fee, reward or other advantage to any government official or employee, any customer, any Adobe employee or any other person to obtain any business advantage or improperly influence any action or decision. Adobe business partners, suppliers and vendors must comply with all applicable international anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act.
 

Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy Statement

Adobe’s statements of disclosure articulate our policies and practices around recognizing and preventing human trafficking and slavery, in accordance with various requirements around the world. Read the UK Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy Statement, the Australia Modern Slavery Act Statement, and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Statement.

Supplier Diversity

At Adobe, we’re using our purchasing power to promote the things we care about as a company. In 2018, we launched our Supplier Diversity program to ensure that we purchase more goods and services from businesses that are certified as majority-owned and operated by women, minorities, veterans, members of the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities. In doing so, we can help underrepresented groups succeed while we benefit from the ideas and innovations that diverse perspectives bring.

Industry Engagement

Adobe ensures environmental and social responsibility for its products through a comprehensive supplier management program.  In order to be effective, this involves an awareness of global issues.
