"The Supplier Code of Conduct establishes standards to ensure that working conditions in the company supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations with suppliers are ethical, social and environmentally responsible. The Code remains independent and updated on a regular basis to reflect the standards of SGRE in its operations with suppliers.
SGRE AU promotes the Supplier Code of Conduct to all suppliers and requests compliance and adherence to it as well as to all applicable laws and regulations from all our suppliers and third-party intermediaries. The Supplier Code of Conduct is incorporated into our General Purchasing Conditions, framework contracts and purchase agreements with each supplier, as well as into procurement tools.
SGRE AU also released the Booklet for the Code of Conduct for Suppliers and Third Party Intermediaries 7(also commonly referred to as “the Code of Conduct Booklet”). This comprehensive material documents in detail our expectations towards our suppliers in each requirement presented in the Code of Conduct, being an important support for our sustainability detection modules. The development of the Supplier Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct Booklet is the result of the work performed by the Supplier Lifecycle Management and Sustainability community, which SGRE Group has established since 2017. The group has representation in external communities, like the WindEurope® Sustainability Task Force, and is engaged in relevant sustainability topics."
