Purchasing policy

Crisplant’s aim is to practise a strategy focussing on proactive procurement, structured market analysis for all of our commodities constantly intensifying competitiveness and communication with our suppliers, as well as standardising purchasing processes and strengthening the decisions we take in our procurement activities.

Strategy and purchasing policy

Crisplant aims at co-operating with flexible and innovative suppliers who will support our company's goals, which are to deliver on time with the lowest possible error margin and with continuous improvements. Therefore suppliers must be able to document efficient quality control and reduction of costs. Each month suppliers' ability to deliver on time is registered, and the quality of the supplied goods is continually evaluated in order to ensure that suppliers continue to adhere to the standards and specifications agreed upon.

With reference to The Ten Principles as defined in the United Nations Global Compact, Crisplant encourages all suppliers to define and respect an ethical and environmentally sound business practice.

All suppliers to Crisplant are encouraged to practice a sound social and ethical responsibility by observing (but not limited to) full compliance with the law and applicable regulations in their country of resident, proper working environment and an accident-free working culture must be supported by meeting or exceeding current applicable health and safety legislation. Crisplant’s commitment to the protection and conservation of the environment must be supported by the suppliers’ active commitment to a sound environmental management system by means of meeting or exceeding current environmental legal requirements.

The suppliers’ and any sub-suppliers’ use of environmentally responsible material and production methods as well the use of alternatives for scarce and non-renewable resources will be given preference.

Crisplant wishes to the widest possible extent to enter into co-operation agreements with our suppliers, thus ensuring that terms regarding for instance packaging of products, utilisation of recyclable materials, delivery and payment are specified from the very beginning of the co-operation.
