Suppliers with a score of “Satisfactory”, “Good”

and “Excellent” but who still have partial

non-conformities with general requirements

are given a corrective action plan, which is

discussed and must be implemented within

a maximum of 12 months, depending on the

severity. During this period, additional contact

is established with the supplier to confirm the

implementation of the plan, and, when needed,

to ensure subsequent audits.

 

Suppliers with a score of “Inadequate” are regularly

contacted for up to six months to confirm the

implementation of a corrective action plan. An

in loco or a remote assessment is performed

the following year for further evaluation. In the

absence of evidence of progress, we reserve the

right to suspend the business relationship.

 

Six suppliers were also audited, which in 2019

had been classified as “Inadequate”, with the

below classification. During 2021, we will maintain

the same procedure for monitoring and verifying

corrective actions.
