“In 2022, we have significantly improved our audit process for new suppliers in Goods & Services by launching a supplier risk assessment tool (SRAT), which replaces the previous country risk classification in the initial risk assessment phase of the audit stream. The new tool is applied independently on suppliers with a contracted volume above 100,000€ to assess suppliers’ risks and identify appropriate risk mitigation based on product category, manufacturing country and spend risk.”
