Dear Business Partner,
The United Nations meets the needs of its global operations through the purchase and delivery of goods and services from vendors worldwide. As the holiday season approaches, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your contribution as a United Nations Business Partner and for supporting the Organization in achieving its goals. We look forward to continuing our successful cooperation.
The holiday season is traditionally a time when many people exchange gifts. In this context, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all registered and potential vendors that companies doing business with the United Nations are required to accept and comply with the UN Supplier Code of Conduct, which clearly states that the United Nations maintains a zero-tolerance policy on gifts1 from any individual or entity doing or seeking to do business with the Organization.
If you have any questions regarding the United Nations’ expected standards of conduct for business partners, please contact the Procurement Division: dos-pd@un.org
Thank you once again for your partnership and commitment to the United Nations. We wish you and your family a joyful and peaceful holiday season.
Neris M. Báez García de Mazzora
Director, Procurement Division
Office of Supply Chain Management
