Purchasing policy

The company is driven by their values and partners with suppliers,
manufacturers, contractors and agents that support that vision and
purpose and that can demonstrate those values. The Supplier Code of
Conduct reflects the standards and business practices expected from
suppliers before doing business with them. It covers many filtering criteria
such as anti-corruption, conflicts of interest, fair competition, product
safety, labour rights, discrimination and supplier diversity.

Suppliers must agree to the Code of Conduct and standard Terms and
Conditions before they can bid for business. These offers are evaluated
based on a scorecard approach, including financial competitiveness,
quality, sustainability and security of supply. Suppliers are tiered and
interaction is dependant upon this ranking – ranging from strategic
suppliers to operational/transactional suppliers.
