Our mission is to offer everyone an affordable, sustainable, efficient and natural technology to reduce operational costs and fuel consumption, as well as to preserve our environment by significantly reducing gas emissions.

Our vision is one of respect and commitment. We do respect all our partners and choose to work with independent, reliable companies all experts in their own domain to better serve our customers worldwide. We commit ourselves to delivering the best products and services to all XBEE end users, from private car owners to fleet managers in charge of hundreds of ships to fuel suppliers willing to offer premium quality fuels to their clients.

In doing so, XBEE is committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in everything we do, and that includes our daily operations and supply chain. This Third Party Code of Conduct (“Code”) outlines XBEE’s requirements and expectations regarding its suppliers, resellers and other partners (“Third Parties”). All of our Third Parties are invited to acknowledge and accept the terms of this Code.

ENVIRONMENT

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
XBEE is, by nature, committed to offering an environmentally friendly enzyme fuel technology. XBEE is a fuel treatment based on enzymes extracted from tree leaves, using no chemicals, no alcohols, no metals and respectful of fuels, engines and our environment. Treating fuel with XBEE might be the most effective and affordable way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions such as CO2, NOx, particulates.

Third Parties are strongly invited to work toward targeted objectives such as identifying, managing, and reporting Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. They are encouraged to set goals to reduce their overall GHG emissions footprint; support renewable energy; and offset, remove, or mitigate any residual emissions.

Besides offering a very efficient technology to reduce GHG emissions to all petroleum- or bio-fuel consumers, XBEE also invites Third Parties to encourage our partners Green Marine and EcoTree who promote environmental-friendly programs to reduce pollution, preserve the environment and protect biodiversity.

SOURCING SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
XBEE is committed in selecting the most sustainable and respectable suppliers for all materials. Third Parties are required to exercise due diligence when obtaining materials likely to originate in areas at high risk for human rights violations, environmental degradation, child or compulsory labour, or any other issue covered under this Code.

SOCIAL

HUMAN RIGHTS
We believe a better world is not only built on respecting our environment but also on respecting human rights. XBEE is committed to respecting human rights under the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP). Not only should we all enjoy equally our planet and its resources in a sustainable way, but we think we should also all be entitled to the same universal human rights.

LABOUR

Third Parties are required to comply with applicable labour and social security laws. We are committed to preventing the use or in any other way benefit from forced or compulsory labour as set out in International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

Third parties are required to have procedures in place to minimize potential safety hazards, including but not limited to protections from chemical, biological, or physical agents.

Personal protective equipment should be provided when appropriate. Workers should not be disciplined for raising safety concerns. Third Parties should comply with all applicable quality, health, safety, and environmental regulations. All required permits, licenses and registrations should be obtained, maintained and kept up-to-date. Third Parties should fulfill their operational and reporting requirements.

CHILD LABOUR
Third Parties are required to comply with all conventions in relation to the prohibition of child labour as described by the ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. XBEE is convinced that children belong to schools and homes, not workplaces and invites Third Parties to engage in efforts to eliminate child labour in general.

GOVERNANCE

ANTI-CORRUPTION
All forms of corruption and bribery are prohibited and Third Parties may never, directly or indirectly, offer, give, promise, or authorize any bribe, gift, loan, fee, reward, or other advantage to obtain or retain a business. Further, Third Parties must comply with all relevant anti-corruption laws and should not accept any such advantage in return.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Third Parties must be free to act with total objectivity in their business dealings, and all measures should be taken to avoid all conflicts of interest. Any action that might involve such conflict of interest or the appearance of one, must be reported in writing to XBEE for review.
