The company reports on its vendor assessment process webpage that supplier assessment is undertaken before a contract is signed, however, the company does not specify its zero-tolerance criteria and minimum requirements, and also the number or percentage of new suppliers screened, hence, the indicator is marked as unknown.

"Assessment Process
PRE-PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT
Before we engage in a new partnership, our vendors sign our Vendor Code of Ethics (VCoE) Certificate of Compliance and we conduct a full facility assessment. If all zero-tolerance criteria and minimum requirements are met, we begin a business relationship together. If any violations are found during the assessment, a corrective and preventive action (CAPA) plan is put in place. This includes agreedupon solutions, a timeframe for implementation, and key responsibilities."
