To transform the future and achieve our purpose, we rely on a variety of partners and suppliers.

Building a sustainable business model to create lasting value for all our customers, suppliers, stakeholders and rightsholder is our commitment throughout our entire value chain.

For this reason, we carefully select and engage suppliers based on our business needs and the criteria outlined in our Principles of Conduct for Third Parties — alongside technical evaluations and assessments of quality, pricing, and delivery timelines.

Principles of Conduct for Third Parties

We believe that everything starts with ethics and integrity.

That is why we seek to work with suppliers who operate their business responsibly, safely and ethically.

Our Principles of Conduct for Third Parties allow us to share our values and ethical principles with suppliers and other third parties who work in partnership with us.

Sustainability

The sustainability of our business is intrinsically linked to the environmental integrity of our operations — an effort made possible through the collaboration of our partners.
