Responsible Sourcing

Supplier qualification and responsible-business expectations form part of transaction planning and counterparty review.

Supplier expectations

Prospective suppliers should provide accurate corporate, ownership, product, quality, origin and compliance information.

Substitution, falsified certificates, concealed origin and misleading sustainability statements are inconsistent with responsible sourcing.

The level of review should reflect the product, country, counterparty, route, transaction value and risk profile.
