Neles’ Code of Conduct and Supplier code of conduct for suppliers set the standards that we expect our suppliers to follow, and they are the starting point of any new or existing business relationship.
Supplier assessment and audits
Neles conducts third-party sustainability supplier audits together with external auditing partners in certain countries. In addition, our procurement and quality assurance teams conduct internal sustainability supplier audits that include site visits.
The screening of new suppliers is included in our procurement processes, and our target is to evaluate all our new suppliers in higher-risk countries against our sustainability criteria. Based on the sustainability risk assessment of the new supplier, procurement decides on the need for an in-depth audit and/or further actions.
Supplier Code of Conduct
We expect our suppliers to follow Neles Supplier Code of Conduct. This is the starting point of any new or existing business relationship.
Neles Supplier Code of Conduct sets the standards that we expect our suppliers to follow. It covers areas such as health and safety, child and forced labor, human rights, anti-corruption, compliance with laws and regulations, environment and climate change.
Neles expects its suppliers to make every effort to always comply with this Neles Supplier Code when dealing with Neles. Familiarize yourself with the Neles Supplier Code of Conduct below:
We are continuously developing our cooperation with our suppliers e.g. through sustainability audits. In addition, we aim to further develop our processes in tracking the corrective actions. Our target is that all new direct suppliers are screened on sustainability.
