Monitoring and developing suppliers

We believe that the social, environmental and ethical aspects of suppliers’ and subcontractors’ performance are key contributors to sustainable business success. That is why our Responsible Supply Chain program is embedded in our policies through our own Code of Conduct as well as our commitment to the industry standard RBA’s code of conduct V7.

Our program addresses labor, human rights, safety, ethics and environmental risks. It comprises three main steps: commitment, self-assessment questionnaire and audit with follow-up.

We are taking suppliers and subcontractors with us on our sustainability journey by providing training and support.

We also conduct due diligence in our sub-tier supply chain for raw materials we procure (Responsible Sourcing of Minerals).

Responsible sourcing of minerals

We need to source a diverse array of minerals and metals used at different stages of production in both front-end and back-end manufacturing.

So,we have developed a holistic approach to identify, manage, and monitor 

responsible mineral sourcing to ensure we do not procure raw materials that are directly or indirectly associated with human rights violations and to minimize environmental impact.

 

Our policy statement is fully aligned with the OECD due diligence guidelines.

We listen to our employees, customers, investors, and partners, take into account their expectations and concerns, and work together for mutual success.

By knowing our stakeholders better, we are able to anticipate potential issues, and also understand how to achieve the right balance between various stakeholders’ needs and expectations.
