TBES COMPANY LIMITED (“TBES”), the company behind TBESBY brewer’s yeast, is committed to lawful, ethical and responsible business. This Code applies to all directors, employees and contractors of TBES and sets out what we expect from our business partners. It follows Vietnamese law and international labour standards.

Legal compliance

We comply with the laws of Vietnam and of every market we serve, including food and feed safety, export control, customs and tax.

Labour and human rights

  • No child labour, as defined by Vietnam’s Labour Code 2019 and ILO Convention No. 138.
  • No forced, bonded or prison labour, and no human trafficking. Employees may resign with statutory notice.
  • Written employment contracts; wages and overtime at or above the legal minimum, paid in full and on time; statutory social, health and unemployment insurance.
  • Working hours and rest periods within legal limits.
  • No discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, marital status or union membership, and no harassment or abuse.
  • Freedom of association under Vietnamese law.

Health and safety

Safe workplaces, protective equipment, occupational safety training and first aid at every production site.

Business integrity

  • Zero tolerance for bribery, kickbacks and facilitation payments, whether with officials or private parties.
  • Gifts and hospitality stay modest and never influence business decisions. Conflicts of interest are declared to the Managing Director.
  • Accurate books, records, product documents and certificates. Test results and shipping documents are never falsified.

Product safety and quality

Product safety comes first. We follow our HACCP plan and prerequisite programmes and notify customers promptly of any food or feed safety issue.

Environment and community

We comply with our environmental permits and monitoring obligations, reduce waste and water use, and turn a brewery co-product into a valuable feed ingredient. We also support ethnic minority schoolchildren in Vietnam’s highlands, as described on our About page.

Confidentiality and data protection

We protect the confidential information of customers, suppliers and employees and process personal data under Decree No. 13/2023/ND-CP. See our Privacy Policy.

Responsible sourcing

We expect our suppliers to meet this Code, and we may verify their compliance.
