Our suppliers make an indispensable contribution to the successful achievement of our objectives. Thanks to increasing chain integration, suppliers play a crucial role in the realisation of our projects. We cooperate intensively in the field of production, but also in the fields of innovation and sustainability. On this front, creating long-term partnerships is one of our spearheads.
In 2018, we started assessing suppliers in the fields of Environment and Human Rights. We do this partly by having them sign the Code of Conduct as part of their contract documents and discussing this regularly during evaluations. We have also mapped out the specific themes per purchasing cluster to enable us to devote attention to these themes, all based on Heijmans’ sustainable procurement policy.
