We work with distribution partners to supply print and eBook solutions and enable access to our broad range of digital solutions for our global customers. 

Relevant Policies
We are committed to act with integrity in all our business dealings and comply with laws. Many of our existing policies contain sections which are aimed at ensuring that we work with integrity in our global business and supply chain, including that we ensure there is no slavery or human trafficking.

These include:

Due Diligence Processes for Slavery and Human Trafficking
As part of our continuing efforts to identify and mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our supply chain, we have strengthened our processes and procedures in order to

  • Identify and assess potential risk areas in our supply chains.
  • Mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking occurring in our supply chains.
  • Monitor potential risk areas in our supply chain; and
  • Protect whistle blowers.

Supplier Adherence to Our Values
We do not tolerate slavery and human trafficking. To ensure that the parties in our supply chain act in a manner consistent with our values, we require all suppliers to agree with our Red Cube Shared Values, as set out in MHE Supplier Standards.

Training
Every year all employees undergo an annual COBE training course and confirm their knowledge and commitment to adhere to the COBE, which emphasizes the standards of conduct and behavior that McGraw Hill employees are required to maintain.
