Sagax code of conduct for suppliers

Safeguarding and ensuring the health and safety and ethical standards of third party companies associated with Sagax.

Sagax’s suppliers are partly viewed as an extension of Sagax’s own operations. Therefore, Sagax has prepared a Code of Conduct for Suppliers to ensure that working conditions at the companies that deliver products and services to Sagax fulfil Sagax’s requirements in terms of health and safety and ethical standards as well as that the assignments are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner. The Code of Conduct is signed and added as an appendix to framework agreements that are entered into.

In 2022, Sagax implemented a Code of Conduct for Suppliers in all countries where Sagax operates. Sagax also monitored compliance of the Code of Conduct among its main suppliers in Finland and the Netherlands in 2022. The investigation included all areas of the Code of Conduct, such as business ethics, anti-corruption, anti-discrimination, occupational health and safety, work environment, the environment, loyalty and service.

The investigation showed that all of the audited suppliers had procedures and work processes in place to ensure compliance with the Code of Conduct.
