The document “How to develop a Supplier Code of Conduct” collects the guidelines of the UN Global Compact Network Italy Working Group on Sustainable Procurement, in order to help Italian companies guide their supply chains in a path that embraces three dimensions of sustainability, social, environmental and governance.
It was drawn up with the aim of outlining the standards expected in commercial relations between the company and suppliers, in order to ensure - on the one hand - that suppliers adhere to these standards and - on the other - that the company can prevent and mitigate the most significant negative impacts on human and labor rights and on the environment in its supply chains.
The guidelines were presented during the 12th edition of the “Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale” in Milan.
