Activities in 2007
In order to support the local introduction and roll-out of the Supplier Code, we organised a series of workshops regarding responsible purchasing for all purchasers in Austria, Greece and Poland. Based on these workshops, the local purchasing departments started to roll out the Supplier Code to all relevant local suppliers of goods and services.
We adapted our audit checklists to include the Supplier Code for raw material suppliers and started the process of adjusting the checklist for packaging suppliers as well. If any supplier fails to comply with our standards, they will not be approved and will lose the approved supplier status.
