For Suppliers
Since 1908, Briggs & Stratton has provided reliable products that enhance the quality of life to its customers. As Briggs & Stratton enters into its second century, we will continue to create value for all of our stakeholders, customers, employees, dealers, suppliers and communities. We reaffirm our commitment to our core values of integrity, quality, innovative products, community involvement and environmental stewardship.
Briggs & Stratton’s commitment to integrity and social responsibility includes its subsidiary companies and extends to its diverse and worldwide supply base. To ensure that suppliers conduct business with a high degree of integrity and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, each Briggs & Stratton’s supplier is required to adhere to this Supplier Code of Conduct.
Conflict Mineral Policy
Briggs & Stratton is committed to sourcing parts, components and materials from suppliers that conduct business with a high degree of integrity and in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Among other requirements, our suppliers must adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct and all applicable laws, regulations and standards.
On August 22, 2012 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a ruler under section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requiring public companies to report annually on the presence in their products of tun, tungsten, tantalum or gold ("conflict minerals") originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries.
Briggs & Stratton is committed to complying with the requirements of the SEC rule and will assist our customers in implementing their conflict minerals program. Accordingly, we require our suppliers to provide us with completed conflict minerals declarations, and we stop doing business with any supplier that fails to comply with this policy.
