ABOUT US

Marketplace - Managing our supply-chain

At Fujitsu Siemens Computers responsible supply-chain management is a business priority.

Our approach is guided by our membership of the United Nations Global Compact. We have committed all our strategic and key suppliers to the International Labor Conditions expressed in the Compact. These principles are drawn from the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and the International Labor Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and have been integrated into all our Master-Purchasing Agreements with those suppliers. To date the majority of these key suppliers have now signed a confirmation letter showing their commitment to the standards within the Global Compact.

In order to ensure our suppliers comply with our social and environmental standards we carry out bi-annual reviews of supplier sites. These reviews cover more than 80% of our purchase volume per annum and consider all aspects of the supply chain. More recently we announced our intention to carry out random independent audits across our key-supplier base. This is specifically to ensure adherence to the standards laid down in the Global Compact.

Improving the management of our supply-chain is not a goal, but an ever evolving process. As a company with a unique sense of responsibility, we recognize the need to constantly adapt our approach, and to make sure we go beyond what is simply expected and required by law. We have developed a separate, stand-alone Fujitsu Siemens Computers Supplier Code of Conduct. This goes beyond existing standards included in our Master-Purchasing Agreement, and captures more clearly and boldly those social and environmental expectations we place upon them. In developing this Supplier Code of Conduct we sought the views and input of various stakeholders and partners. This consultation process was a two-way dialogue so as to ensure that standards we set for suppliers are truly reflective of society and the interests of those groups our business impacts upon.
