The assessment of social aspects |
SR p. 21-25 |
of supplies is a challenge, not just for us but for the entire industry. All suppliers acknowledge the Code of Conduct as part of the Business Agreement and an assessment of social aspects must be done before the first purchase order. The assessment is done either through self-assessment, an internal audit or a third-party audit( amfori BSCI or equivalent). Our goal is to include all our suppliers located in risk countries in amfori BSCI or an equal monitoring system. |

Policys for supplier selection, management and termination |
Termination of cooperation with a supplier may occur if a zero tolerance issue reveals( child labor, serious health and safety risks, substitution of subcontractor without prior approval and refusal to be audited) are detected, but if we identify non-compliances, we prefer to develop an action plan in order to bring the supplier back to an acceptable standard, rather than to end our cooperation. |
