Nielsen supplier code of conduct 

Nielsen commits to managing our supply chain in an ethical, legal and socially responsible manner. Supply chain sustainability (which spans environmental, social, and governance/ethical issues) is a growing concern to investors, regulatory bodies around the world, our corporate clients, and the end consumers our clients serve.

Nielsen’s Supplier Code of Conduct conveys our expectations for our suppliers. We believe that good corporate citizenship must be a foundation of our long-term growth and profitability together with suppliers.

The Nielsen Supplier Code of Conduct has been adapted from the supplier code of conduct of the Responsible Business Alliance. This code is an industry-wide code used by more than 100 of the world’s largest and leading technology companies. We have chosen to adopt this code due to the critical nature of electronic meters to our business and the distinct risks inherent in technology manufacturing; the Responsible Business Alliance Supplier Code represents best practice with fair labor and other issues in electronics supply chains.

This Supplier Code is referenced in all new Nielsen purchase orders and contracts. While we recognize that there are different legal and cultural environments in which our suppliers operate, our Supplier Code of Conduct sets forth basic requirements that all Nielsen suppliers must meet.
