Oxiteno to Monitor Performance of Its Suppliers
The EcoVadis platform will allow Oxiteno to proactively monitor, evaluate and compare the performance of its suppliers on the main sustainability issues, in addition to collaborating so that it draws up improvement plans with its partners.
“
We are looking forward to building this partnership with Oxiteno and helping them to improve the sustainability performance of all their suppliers. Now, more than ever, it is essential that companies are committed to supply chain best practices that support businesses with a purpose and create long-term value,”said Pierre Francois-Thaler, co-CEO of EcoVadis.
EcoVadis Focuses on 21 Sustainability Criteria
EcoVadis' methodology focuses on 21 sustainability criteria and is based on globally recognized initiatives, including: International Labor Organization (ILO), UN Global Compact, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and ISO 26000.
Since 2012, Oxiteno has been evaluated annually by EcoVadis by customers who have already adopted this methodology for assessing the sustainability of their supply chains.
“
We have defined sustainability goals for 2030, based on eight pillars that balance economic prosperity, protection of the environment and meeting the needs of society. To achieve them, it is essential that we can also count on our suppliers,” Juliana Silva, global sustainability manager at Oxiteno.
The company believes that the EcoVadis assessment will provide valuable information to further improve the processes and offer the best solutions to customers, based on a comparison basis of trust.
