Supply Chain Management

Working together towards sustainable development

We believe in social and environmental responsibility and ethical conduct, and expect our business partners to do the same. We have long-term sustainability in mind and thus aim at building sustainable relationships with our business partners.

We set high expectations for our business partners

Meeting our responsibility to our people, our customers and our planet means managing our supply chain responsibly. All our suppliers must agree to our Code of Conduct for Business Partners , and we carry out a thorough sustainability audit program to make sure they are living up to it. It sets out our policies and principles on business ethics, human rights and labor standards, health and safety, and the environment.

Our policies and the Code of Conduct for Business Partners are further based on United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations Global Compact, ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning, Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and ISO 14001.
