OUR APPROACH TO SUPPLIERS

We drive and promote the sustainable practices of our suppliers

Our approach to our suppliers is characterized by our commitment to drive and promote their sustainable practices through clear requirements, collaboration and encouragement.


We present two different focus areas & specific claims;

  • Supplier collaboration
  • Sustainable Procurement Initiative
SUPPLIER COLLABORATION

We promote the sustainability of our value chain through close collaboration and clear expectations

We promote the sustainability of our value chain through maintaining close and long-standing ties with our suppliers. By clearly stipulating our expectations and following up on their work, we ensure productive collaborations built on mutual trust.

 

Supplier Code of Conduct

Through our Supplier Code of Conduct, we require that our suppliers are committed to identifying, preventing, mitigating, and accounting for adverse environmental, human rights and governance impacts in their own operations and supply chains.  

Ensuring compliance

We conduct audits or assessments to ensure compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct and we take appropriate steps when necessary. To promote and ensure their compliance with our requirements, we work closely with our suppliers to, for example, implement ISO14001. We reserve the right to discontinue relationships for non-adherence to international principles, failure to correct violations, or displaying patterns of non-compliance with these standards or our Code.  

Contract management

We have an arsenal of comprehensive contractual templates that cover most types of purchases and include specific sections pertaining to sustainability. These lay the foundation for how we ensure that our requirements are clearly conveyed to the suppliers with whom we choose to engage.
