1. Introduction Letty Beauty was built on three core values:

• Integrity – acting honestly and fairly, in both business and creativity.
• Respect – for people, cultures, communities, and diversity.
• Responsibility – toward sustainability, innovation, and the future of beauty.

These values guide every decision we make. We expect our partners to embrace them not just as legal obligations, but as a reflection of shared commitment to better beauty.

2. Business Partner Expectations:

We carefully select our business partners because they are extensions of the Letty Beauty brand. We expect partners to:

• Comply with laws and international standards , not only local regulations, but also global conventions on labor, trade, human rights, and the environment.
• Operate transparently, sharing supply chain information, practices, and certifications when requested.
• Collaborate for progress , working alongside us to raise standards, embrace innovation, and ensure continuous improvement.
• Demonstrate accountability, ensuring their suppliers and subcontractors also comply with these standards.

Together, we are building not just a business, but a sustainable, ethical beauty movement.
