Plexus Supplier Code of Conduct

Plexus Corp. and its affiliate companies (“Plexus”), is committed to upholding high standards of ethics, integrity and corporate social responsibility in our business operations. In part, this is demonstrated through our membership in the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), formerly the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), an alliance of companies who share a commitment to ensure working conditions in the electronics supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations are environmentally responsible.

Supplier expectations:
