Personal care chemicals and ingredients distributor DKSH Performance Materials has launched a Responsible Suppliers Program in partnership with EcoVadis.
The programme monitors and assesses the social, ethical, human rights, and environmental performance of DKSH Performance Materials’ suppliers with the aim of ensuring a shared commitment to sustainability and supply chain transparency.
At the same time, the programme addresses the increasing demand from customers looking to work with partners that demonstrate responsible and ethical business practices.
After completing a confidential CSR questionnaire, partners receive a sustainability ‘scorecard’ from EcoVadis, which creates a comparable and fair assessment.
DKSH then provides coaching and recommendations based on these assessment results to support its partners along their sustainability journeys.
“Our Responsible Suppliers Program in partnership with EcoVadis demonstrates our commitment to driving sustainability across our operations and supply chain,” said Thomas Sul, Co-Head DKSH Business Unit Performance Materials.
“We are dedicated to ensuring responsible sourcing practices that create a positive impact on the environment and society, as well as benefit all of our valued business partners,” he added.
