We assess external providers across a range of criteria including commercial viability, financial stability, technical capabilities, operational efficiency, and environmental responsibility. To ensure synchronisation with our sustainability goals, we communicate our expectations through our Procurement Policy. Beyond commercial aspects, our vendor selection process prioritises partners who share our aim to minimise environmental impact throughout product lifecycles. Whenever feasible, we opt for products with minimal carbon footprint and consider the impact throughout product lifecycles, including energy use, pollution control, waste reduction, and responsible resource use. Apart from that, we encourage suppliers to track performance and engage in impact reduction efforts.
