How We Expect Business to Be Done

Our Code of Conduct is a practical framework for daily decisions—built around integrity, safety, and respect for people and the environment.

Integrity in Transactions

We do not tolerate bribery, improper payments, or deceptive practices. Pricing, quality, and volume are communicated honestly and documented clearly.

Respect for People

We expect all workplaces in our supply chain to operate without forced labor, child labor, harassment, or discrimination of any kind.

Safety & Responsible Operations

Health and safety are non-negotiable. Partners must follow applicable laws and maintain safe working conditions in forests, yards, and mills.

Expectations for Suppliers & Partners

We work closely with suppliers to ensure that our Code of Conduct is understood, achievable, and consistently reflected in day-to-day operations.

  • Compliance with all applicable local, national, and international laws
  • No forced, bonded, or involuntary labor of any kind
  • Non-discrimination in hiring, promotion, and compensation
  • Safe working conditions, appropriate PPE, and incident reporting
  • Environmental practices aligned with legal requirements and our sustainability commitments

Long-term relationships are built on shared expectations around conduct, safety, and transparency.

How We Hold Ourselves Accountable

Our internal standards mirror what we ask of our partners. Oaple team members are expected to act with integrity in every interaction—with customers, suppliers, and colleagues.

Conflicts of Interest

We disclose and manage potential conflicts transparently to protect the integrity of our decisions.

Confidentiality & Data

Commercial information, pricing, and partner data are handled carefully and only shared on a need-to-know basis.

Fair Competition

We compete honestly in the market and comply with applicable competition and anti-trust laws.

Raising Concerns & Reporting Issues

We encourage employees, suppliers, and customers to speak up if they see conduct that does not align with these expectations. Concerns are taken seriously and handled with discretion.

  • No retaliation for good-faith reporting of potential violations
  • Case-by-case investigation and follow-up with relevant partners
  • Corrective action that can include remediation plans or ending commercial relationships

If You Have a Concern

If you believe that this Code of Conduct is not being followed in any part of our supply chain, we invite you to contact us with:

  • Details of the situation and location
  • Parties involved (if known)
  • Relevant dates, documents, or reference numbers
  • Any immediate safety risks that need attention

Our team will review the information, request clarification where needed, and determine appropriate next steps in line with our commitments.
