We select our suppliers and sub-suppliers through a structured approval process that ensures compliance with our standards for quality, sustainability, and ethical business conduct.
The selection of new suppliers involves a thorough pre-evaluation, focusing on key areas such as product compliance, quality systems, production capacity, and adherence to our Conflict Mineral Policy. Suppliers are assessed for certifications such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 14001, with expectations tailored to the nature of their business.
Our Conflict Mineral Policy reflects compliance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as EU Regulation 2017/821, which address the trade of conflict minerals originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its adjoining countries, as well as other conflict-affected and high-risk areas.
