Standards compliance
Supply partners will make every effort to communicate these Standards to all employees and downstream supply chain partners who serve L3Harris.
We expect our supplier partners to notify L3Harris immediately should they become aware of any non-compliance with these Standards, and to take the necessary steps to correct such non-compliance in a timely manner.
