For us, sustainable procurement means setting clear requirements for our suppliers and considering environmental, social, and governance aspects throughout the supply chain.
We systematically analyse risks throughout the supply chain, define measures, and continuously monitor their effectiveness.
Sustainability criteria are part of procurement and are integrated into tenders.
Potential breaches of our Supplier Code of Conduct for Responsible Procurement can be reported anonymously and confidentially.
We want to give greater consideration to social and environmental requirements throughout the supply chain, from supplier selection to collaboration.
We aim to identify risks of human rights violations in the supply chain more effectively and implement appropriate measures.
We are gradually reducing CO₂ emissions in the supply chain and aligning our activities with Swiss Post’s climate targets.
We promote approaches that conserve resources, extend the useful life of products and strengthen circular processes in procurement.
Sustainability is fully integrated into our procurement function. We follow international standards and aim to work in partnership with suppliers who share our sustainability goals.
Together with our suppliers, we are committed to making supply chains more responsible and sustainable. We take environmental and social aspects into account in our procurement activities, thereby contributing to the protection of people and the environment. In doing so, we support our climate goals and fulfil our human rights due diligence responsibilities.
Our requirements relating to the environment, society and governance.
The management cycle describes how we systematically identify, assess and address risks in our supply chain. We follow the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct for Responsible Procurement forms the basis for collaboration with our suppliers. Clearly defined responsibilities ensure its implementation.
We systematically analyse our supply chains to identify, assess, and prioritise potential risks to people and the environment. We take a risk-based approach and focus our efforts on areas where the need for action is greatest.
Working conditions in the global apparel industry are often precarious. To address these challenges, we have been working with the Fair Wear Foundation since 2012.
We are committed to ensuring that our apparel suppliers comply with social standards. Independent audits regularly verify compliance.
We regularly have the working conditions at our apparel suppliers reviewed by the Fair Wear Foundation. The relevant reports and documents are available below:
