A Purchasing Policy is being drawn up which, in conjunction with the franchisors’ purchasing policies, not only demands a clear set of ESG requirements from suppliers, but also demands that these requirements are, in turn, passed on and demanded of those suppliers’ business partners. The criteria to be considered in the purchasing policy should be applied not only when identifying and selecting new suppliers, but also when assessing the performance of organisations that already supply products and services to the Ibersol Group. The new purchasing policy will also involve the creation of a code of conduct tobeadoptedbyall IbersolGroupsuppliers.
