Sustainability
IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN
As an international technology company, PFISTERER has a global network of production facilities and sales offices. To ensure that we can maintain our highest standards in terms of the sustainability of our products and solutions for modern energy grids, one aspect is fundamental: careful supplier selection.
Naturally, we expect them to comply with the quality standards of the industry. But their environmental and social standards are just as important. We carry out an onboarding process with every new supplier. We undertake regular reviews and assessments of our existing suppliers.
We require both new and existing partners to sign the PFISTERER Supplier Code of Conduct. It includes the following topics:
- compliance with laws
- ethical business practices
- fair employment and respect for human rights
- health, safety and product quality
- environmental compatibility and sustainability
- suitable management systems and procedures
Our continuous supplier monitoring takes a risk-based approach - with supplier self-assessments, supplier audits and other topic-related queries, for example on conflict minerals.
