One way to ensure and support compliance with the Metso Supplier Code of Conduct is to conduct supplier sustainability audits. We have developed an annual auditing program that identifies the suppliers to be audited based on a supplier sustainability risk assessment.
Metso Outotec’s third-party audits cover many aspects of sustainability, including safety, environment, product safety, labor and other human rights, and risk management. Prior to the audit, the suppliers are asked to complete an audit sustainability self-assessment in an online portal. Based on the audit findings, we agree on corrective action plans together with the supplier after each sustainability audit. We follow up on the implementation of the corrective actions on the agreed time schedule.
In addition to auditing, we use other means to engage with suppliers and support them in improving their sustainability performance. For instance, supplier sustainability days are organized to create awareness and to train our suppliers. Through active communication, training events and process improvement, we help suppliers in their development towards more sustainable operations.
To provide sustainability training for the whole supply base, we have created Supplier sustainability (Metso Outotec supplier sustainability expectations, Metso Outotec Supplier Code of Conduct and sustainability during the supplier on-boarding process), Human rights and CO2 emissions reduction e-learning courses.
