The University System of New Hampshire (USNH), of which UNH is a part and through which UNH does large vendor contracting, has developed a Vendor Code of Conduct that describes the fundamental ethical and behavioral principles that govern all vendors who do business with any of its institutions. We expect all vendors to honor this commitment and abide by the provisions of this Vendor Code of Conduct as a condition of doing business with USNH. In doing business with USNH, our vendors and their representatives are expected to:
• Engage in legally-compliant and ethically-sound behavior during the course of business;
• Promote Fair and Respectful interaction with University personnel and third parties;
• Display a commitment to the Environment and to Society;
• Be committed to Workplace and Product Safety;
• Reject all forms of Discrimination & Harassment;
• Display Professionalism, Fairness, and Reliability in all business relations.
Participation in conduct or practices that violate the terms and spirit of this Vendor Code of Conduct may result in termination of a vendor’s business relationship with USNH.
