Our suppliers are a strategic stakeholder and we therefore establish specific principles of conduct for their area of activity, in line with the Group's principles and values, through the Supplier Code of Conduct.
The Code of Conduct for Suppliers [PDF]External link, opens in new window. contains our commitment to the principles of business ethics and transparency in all areas of activity, and establishes a set of principles and guidelines aimed at guaranteeing the ethical and responsible behaviour of all suppliers of ScottishPower, as well as of the other parties involved in the supply chain.
This Code of Conduct shall be accepted by the Group's suppliers and shall be annexed to their respective contracts.

Speaking Out channel
Ethics and transparency are one of the essential pillars of the Iberdrola Group. We promote both values in our relations with our suppliers and in the relations that they maintain with their business partners. We therefore provide them with a channel through which they can report irregular conduct, unlawful acts, or acts contrary to the law or to the Governance and Sustainability System related to the activity of ScottishPower companies.
