As part of Siemens Energy, sustainability in terms of Environmental, Social and Governance aspects is of the highest importance for us. Sustainable conduct forms the basis of our business decisions and collaboration with our stakeholders.
At all times, our suppliers need to share our common goal of respecting and promoting our environment, ethical standards and compliance with legislation.
Therefore, we have established the Supplier Relationship Policy, which provides a group-wide framework for the management and control of procurement activities in order to foster a sustainable future. Siemens Gamesa ensures the impartiality and objectivity of our supplier selection processes and establishes the channels and mechanisms needed to ensure that our supplier conduct is ethically responsible.
We further specify our relationship requirements with suppliers in the Code of Conduct for Supplier and Third-Party Intermediaries that can be found here.
At Siemens Gamesa we are committed to improve the protection of human rights and the environment through limiting the use of hazardous substances in chemicals, materials and articles and substituting to less hazardous substances where it is technically possible. In countries around the world, substance regulations have been implemented to restrict and prohibit the use of harmful substances. Correspondingly, you can find at The Siemens Gamesa – Substance Regulation List download section.
In addition, we commit ourselves to a responsible sourcing of minerals, especially from conflict affected or high-risk areas according to the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, Edition 3, Annex II.
Together with our parent company Siemens Energy, we are aiming to avoid the use of these minerals within our supply chain, and we are conducting a uniform and enterprise-wide process to determine the use, source and origin of the relevant minerals in our supply chain (Supply Chain Due Diligence), including the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) as part of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). Additional process details can be seen on the Siemens Energy website.
Consequentially, we work closely with our suppliers to support us in carrying out this process and, where necessary, we work with suppliers in order to mitigate risks and perform additional due diligence so that we can ensure a responsible sourcing.
