Avoid conflicts of interest.
Only select third parties where no improper conflict exists and, if you learn about a conflict later, disclose it.
Avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Never behave in a way that could raise suspicion of a conflict of interest or misconduct.
Protect confidential information.
Comply with contractual obligations to keep third parties’ confidential information safe. Let them know that we expect the same protection of our confidential information.
Responsible Sourcing at GM
We prioritize integrity, security, and resiliency across our supply chain. Stakeholders—including customers, shareholders, regulators, suppliers, and communities—evaluate us by how we manage our supply chain and its impact.
Customers must trust that GM products are responsibly made, delivered on time, and reliable—even during crises. Responsible sourcing means ethical, transparent practices that respect human rights. We achieve this through supply chain mapping, rigorous due diligence, and embedding these principles in all procurement activities.
Which Way?
I carefully selected a new supplier for a part my team needs. On paper, this supplier is the lowest cost, but I just learned that the supplier refuses to comply with GM’s quality and safety policies. Can I still use them?
No. We cannot compromise our values when selecting third parties. Safety is essential to our reputation. Even if the part is safe, we cannot work with a supplier who doesn’t practice safety at all levels. Do not proceed with the contract.
