Special companies need special suppliers. What makes them special is the fact that everyone involved in the process gives their all to help achieve 100% availability of materials, right up until the product reaches the customer. To achieve this performance target, in addition to the General Supplier Guideline, it is also necessary to take the Supplier Guideline on Sustainability into account.
The Sedus Stoll Group runs a systematic and all-encompassing sustainability management programme. In this context, we expect our suppliers to meet specific requirements in relation to sustainable business conduct. International standards such as the ILO Declaration, the OECD Guidelines and particularly the United Nations Global Compact form the basis of these guidelines. The guideline applies to the supplier, their supply chain and, therefore, also to their sub-suppliers.
As an internationally operating office furniture manufacturer with a focus on regional procurement, Sedus is exposed to risks related to human rights and the environment. Holistic management helps us to continuously monitor these risks and to prevent or minimise them by implementing various measures. The multi-level risk management system identifies environmental and human rights risks within the business unit and along the Sedus supply chain.
As a globally networked company, Sedus sets high standards and has them verified by external organisations.
