THE LASEC® GROUP RESPONSIBLE SOURCING POLICY
Lasec® sources components or raw materials, products, and services from an extensive network of domestic and international manufacturers and suppliers and further supplies final products and services to multiple countries.

Global Compact derived from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. The policy is also aligned with Lasec's core values.
