Developing a sustainable ecosystem with our suppliers

We cannot reach our goals without the expertise and commitment of our partners. We work to build relationships of trust with our suppliers here and abroad through education, responsibility and high standards.

Transparency and vigilance are the foundations of our procurement policy

Now more than ever, our customers pay attention to the composition and traceability of the products they buy. To meet these standards, we are strengthening our evaluation process for supplier risks. This is the subject of our ROCKS vigilance programme that got underway in 2017.

Our goal is two-fold: deploy our responsible procurement strategy throughout our value chain (everywhere in the world) and develop a more responsible collaborative ecosystem by including partners who share the same values as we do.

Risks minimised, units empowered

By transforming how we create our products, we can identify solutions that protect biodiversity and local communities

This is the subject of our partnership with the Earthworm foundation with whom we are working on the issue of palm oil in Indonesia, for example. This organisation works to bring together local players—on the field—to develop more responsible units. Our shared initiative addresses vital challenges through an integrated approach on subjects such as rurality, respect for workers, soil regeneration and the protection of local biodiversity.

LOOKING TOWARDS 2030

We believe that traceability and transparency are key pillars of our positive transformation. So we are committed to making traceability and CSR a priority that is at the heart of our procurement strategy.
