Programs and Strategies Implemented for Vendor Code of Conduct

UNLV has created a multi-pronged approach to ensure that the highest ethical standard underlies all interactions between the university and its suppliers. This strategy consists of the following:

* Social and Environmental Programs – UNLV’s Sustainability and Supplier Inclusion program promotes the inclusion of a diverse set of suppliers. Those suppliers, and their larger corporate counterparts, are required to provide the university with green alternatives to commonly used products and highly encouraged to introduce innovating green solutions based on our requirements.

* Terms, Conditions, and Formal Policy – Our formal solicitation terms and conditions stress the importance of supplier inclusion and sustainability. The purchasing manual details the expectations of our vendors to be clear of conflicts and to self report anything contrary.

* Vendor Guidelines – We have published comprehensive information on our website to assist vendors in all aspects of their interactions with UNLV.

* Code of Ethics – The Code governs all transactions and business relationships, internal and external, undertaken by Purchasing staff.
