Letter to Suppliers
Subject: Anti-corruption Measures
Dear Madam, Sir
We write to you as one of the suppliers of goods or services to one, or a number of companies in the Refining and Chemicals division.
As part of the policies concerning the fight against corruption and in accordance with the Code of Conduct of the Total group, it has been decided that each new contract for materials or for goods and services will, from now on, include a clause by which the supplier undertakes to acquaint itself with and to comply with, and to cause its subcontractors (if any), to comply with certain provisions regarding anti-corruption.
These provisions are set out in an attachment entitled “Anti-Corruption Undertakings” that you will find enclosed and which will be incorporated into every new contract.
In the meantime, we are kindly requiring all of our suppliers to acquaint themselves with this clause and comply with its obligations, and to cause its personnel and its sub-contractors (if any) to also comply.
We trust that we can count on your co-operation in this regard.
Yours sincerely,
