Acting responsibly is a fundamental principle that is essential for our long-term success in all areas of our operations. It is not limited to the sourcing of raw materials, goods or services, but extends to every aspect of our business. From product development and distribution to sales and customer service, responsible practices must be integrated into every step of our operations. In terms of sourcing, we must strive to obtain our raw materials, goods, and services in a sustainable and ethical manner. This involves working closely with our suppliers to ensure that they adhere to the highest environmental and social standards, and that they comply with all relevant laws and regulations. We should also prioritize suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to reducing their carbon footprint and promoting fair labor practices.

In terms of product development, we must prioritize the use of sustainable materials and production methods. This includes designing products that are built to last, using materials that can be recycled or repurposed, and minimizing waste throughout the production process. Additionally, we should continuously assess and improve the environmental impact of our products, and strive to reduce our carbon footprint and resource consumption. When it comes to distribution and sales, we must ensure that our products reach our customers in a responsible and sustainable way. This includes optimizing our supply chain to minimize transportation emissions, reducing packaging waste, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources in our facilities. We should also work to educate our customers on the responsible use and disposal of our products, and encourage them to adopt sustainable behaviors in their own lives.

In short, acting responsibly in everything we do is essential for our long-term success. By prioritizing sustainability, ethical practices, and responsible behaviors at every step of our operations, we can build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable future for ourselves and for future generations. These below essential standards reflect our commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices, and we expect all our suppliers to adhere to them.

• First and foremost, suppliers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. This includes local, national, and international laws related to labor practices, environmental protection, and product safety.
• We also have a zero-tolerance policy for bribery and corruption, and expect our suppliers to share this commitment. Suppliers should avoid any dealings with ABABIL employees who have a conflict of interest, and must comply with all applicable economic sanctions and export controls.
• We are committed to responsible and legal trade practices, and expect our suppliers to share this commitment. Suppliers retained to conduct market research, marketing, or promotional activities on tobacco products must comply with our Global Marketing Standard.
• Respect for human rights is a fundamental principle that we expect all our suppliers to uphold. This includes adopting and maintaining labor practices and working conditions that comply with local laws and international conventions. Suppliers must also ensure safe and healthy working conditions for their employees, suppliers, and visitors.
• Periodic review of supplier compliance is essential to ensure that our suppliers are maintaining the standards we have set. We reserve the right to review and audit our suppliers’ compliance with all Standards, and we expect our suppliers to cooperate fully with any such review.
• Finally, we encourage our suppliers to report any concerns related to compliance with our Standards or any situations that may affect their ability to comply with the Standards. We believe that open communication and collaboration are essential to maintaining positive and sustainable relationships with our suppliers.

We place the highest demands on the quality standards of produced products and have an extensive experience of cooperation with the global manufacturers and suppliers of materials for production of Ababil’s tobacco products. We are open to the discussion of new cooperation under supply of materials for our cigarettes and tobacco products with further possibility to enter a new mutually beneficial partnership. Building strong, mutually beneficial relationships with the suppliers is an essential element of our strategic vision.
