Sustainable Procurement
Acting responsibly along the entire supply chain
For Tyrolit, it means actively shaping processes, supplier selection and risk management in the supply chain.
In addition to economical and quality criteria, environmental protection and compliance with social standards are also relevant for us when selecting and evaluating our suppliers. The basis of our common set of values, which is also shared by external partners, is the Tyrolit Code of Conduct for Suppliers, which relates to human rights, energy management and environmental protection, among other things, and compliance with which is monitored via a system of KPIs.
Tyrolit conducts risk analyses and, if necessary, on-site reviews of operating procedures. We expect our suppliers to comply with the applicable legislation (such as REACH) and the principles of the United Nations Global Compact in their operations, and to implement appropriate processes in their own and their affiliated companies to promote compliance with these rules.
If Tyrolit is of the opinion that a supplier does not fulfil the requirements and expectations, Tyrolit will provide recommendations for action, identifying issues for which corrective measures or improvements are required. The Code of Conduct, which is also part of the General Terms and Conditions of Purchase, also requires our suppliers to ensure that their suppliers comply with the Code of Conduct.
