RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING Cláusulas Exemplificativas

RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING. The Saint-Gobain Group has signed up to the “United Nations Global Compact” and applies the “OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises” as well as the fundamental principles and rights at work described in the “ILO Declaration” (International Labour Organization). In this context, it has notably adopted a policy of responsible purchasing, an integral part of the Group’s Responsible Development policies. The approach and expectations of the Saint-Gobain Group with regard to its suppliers are formalized in the "Suppliers Charter" appended hereto (hereinafter referred to as the "Charter"). In addition to this Charter, Saint-Gobain has set up a professional alert system for suppliers allowing them to report any event or conduct non-compliant with applicable laws and regulations, international rules or with the principles of the Charter. Any alert may be sent through ‘xxxxx://xxx.xxxx-xxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx-xxxxxx’ As part of its “Responsible Purchasing” policy, and in application of its vigilance plan, Saint-Gobain conducts a supplier analysis based on its risks mapping before assessing, if necessary, its suppliers’ environmental, social and ethical practices through documentation reviews or on-site audits, on the basis of international standards (hereinafter referred to as the "Evaluations"). Should these assessments show any disparities between the standard reference framework used and the supplier’s practices, Saint-Gobain will define with the supplier the corrective measures to be implemented. Any failure to implement these measures may result in the supplier being delisted and in the early termination for breach of this agreement and all other agreements concluded with the Saint-Gobain Group companies. The Supplier confirms that it has read, and complies with, the Charter. The Supplier acknowledges that SAINT-GOBAIN may conduct Evaluations on the Supplier and agrees to provide the necessary assistance for that purpose.
