The Code of Ethics sets out Best Buy's beliefs, principles and expectations of all of us, at every level of the Company.

When an employee or anyone representing Best Buy acts or appears to act in their personal interest or that of a third party rather than the best interest of Best Buy, it causes others to lose trust in us. Private, personal interests may cloud our ability to make sound, objective decisions in the best interests of the Company. Best Buy employees must avoid actual and perceived conflicts of interest.

Best Buy depends on its vendors to help provide customers with the products and services that customers need at the prices customers want. To ensure success, employees must avoid business practices and activities that may create or have the appearance of impropriety or a conflict of interest with vendors or potentially lead to undue influence by a vendor in Best Buy's purchasing decisions.

Responsible Sourcing Program Criteria

Responsible Sourcing Risk Assessment Process

Section 889 is part of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Vendors are no longer required to implement the Best Buy Secure Software Development Guidelines. Instead, vendors must infuse prudent information security measures throughout the entire development process. Vendors will implement and adhere to a formal software development life cycle program that is based on industry standards such as the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard 4.0.3 (or its successors), Level 2.

Displays in Best Buy should help provide a Best in Class experience for customers to learn and interact with new technology. To best achieve this goal, the Technology Design Lab should be included as early as possible in the process. We can provide insight and guidance to help ensure a well-functioning and effective display is deployed into stores. By including the Technology Design Lab in the process early on will help avoid costly delays, part swap-outs, and development time.
