Littelfuse expects our suppliers to comply with the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct and to only source materials from environmentally and socially responsible suppliers. Littelfuse has procedures in place to help ensure that our suppliers comply with these expectations.

Adopt sound human rights practices and treat workers fairly with dignity and respect;
Provide a safe and healthy working environment for their workers;
Conduct business operations in a way that protects and sustains the environment;
Maintain management systems that measure, improve and communicate their company's labor, health & safety, environmental performance, and uphold the highest standards of ethics.
