"Our standard contracts authorise the carrying out of supplier audits to monitor compliance and give Fortum a right to termination of the contract in case of non-compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct... In the qualification process, suppliers respond to a supplier questionnaire that we use to help determine, among other things, the supplier’s possible operations in risk countries, certified management systems, and the occupational safety level of the contractors. If potential risks in the supplier’s operations are identified through the questionnaire, the supplier is asked to provide more information or a supplier audit is performed.In 2021, we strengthened the qualification questions related to the prohibition of forced labor" (Pg 4)
