Procurement and suppliers
Our responsible purchasing policy is integrated in our broader business partner due diligence policy, which makes sure we only work with suppliers that meet our integrity and sustainability standards. All larger purchasing processes are subject to sustainability monitoring. We also offer training to employees who are regularly involved in the procurement process.
Sustainable procurement principles
Our sustainability approach is aligned with EU sustainability regulations. As part of this, we’ve introduced five company-wide sustainable procurement principles that apply to all goods and services:
1.
We aim to limit our environmental and social impact, and ask our business partners to do the same.2.
We encourage our business partners to pitch their most sustainable solutions and share their latest ideas with us.3.
We regularly evaluate whether we’re achieving the sustainability goals we set with our strategic business partners.4.
We reserve the right to terminate collaboration with any supplier if they cause significant adverse impact.5.
We encourage anyone who has any information about controversies caused by us or our business partners to come forward.
Jointly reducing our impact
FairChain coffee supplier
Moyee supplies our offices with FairChain coffee, which means most of the production process takes place in the country of origin so that more money goes back to farmers. This reduces our carbon emissions by 159 tonnes per year based on our annual coffee consumption of 35,000 kg. A win-win for delicious coffee and a more sustainable future.
Electric lease cars
In 2022, we introduced a new lease car policy committing to move to a fully electric fleet within five years in the Netherlands and Belgium. The goal? To significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our employees when commuting. Want to learn more on our carbon footprint targets, measures and results?
