Yankee Alliance values its relationships with its suppliers. We strive to maintain and cultivate effective, productive relationships with suppliers who provide high quality products and services that will bring value to our members. Our code of conduct affirms our commitment to high standards of ethical practices and expectations that are designed to help us make the right decisions. A cornerstone of Yankee Alliance is our group purchasing program which consists of market leading group purchasing agreements that provide high quality products and services at market leading prices. It is critical that Yankee Alliance maintain effective, productive relationships with the supplier community. For this relationship to be productive, it is essential that both buyer and seller follow certain guidelines in the way they conduct business. Yankee's Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct which clearly delineates the way in which the organization will conduct itself in contracting activities and its dealings with suppliers. Yankee believes that any relationship, including the negotiation process, requires that both parties follow similar guidelines. To this end, Yankee's Board of Directors has adopted this Supplier Expectations document which explains our expectations of our suppliers, and suggests the manner in which we wish to be treated as customers and business associates. - Download PDF File Becoming a Supplier Supplier Diversity Program Yankee Alliance encourages the introduction of innovative products technologies and presents all proposals from responsible suppliers to our member committees for consideration.
