“Know Your Suppliers” Program
The Know Your Suppliers program aims to assess the compliance of our suppliers through a score based on their ESG approach.
Signing the Plastic Omnium Supplier Charter is the starting point of the process. A digital risk assessment platform and a digital supplier relationship management tool are deployed across all Plastic Omnium sites. In addition, the Ecovadis questionnaire is a key element of the approach.
Suppliers are classified into three categories corresponding to three management types: Follow-up, Engage and Remediate.
Duty of vigilance
Plastic Omnium meets the requirements of the Duty of Vigilance by establishing a Vigilance Plan that sets out the various steps taken for each issue:
– human rights and fundamental freedoms;
– personal health and safety;
– the environment.
