<strong>Sustainable</strong><br />
Procurement<br />
Management<br />
At <strong>Bayer</strong> sustainability does not stop at our company borders but we also bear responsibility<br />
for our supply chain and the parties involved there.<br />
The policy guideline of the Group-wide Procurement Community clearly supports the<br />
principles of the UN Global Compact, our values and leadership principles, and <strong>Bayer</strong>ûs<br />
position on human rights and labor conditions.<br />
<strong>Bayer</strong> has combined all of its fundamental sustainability standards and requirements for<br />
its suppliers in a Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC). This code is accessible on the internet<br />
and published as a brochure in seven languages, and is being implemented on a step-by-step<br />
basis since December <strong>2009</strong>. Implementation of the code is steered by the Procurement<br />
organization.<br />
The code of conduct comprises the areas of ethics, labor, management systems, and health,<br />
safety, environment and quality (HSEQ). It is made available to all suppliers with the goal<br />
of strengthening the mutual understanding of how sustainability should be practiced in<br />
day-to-day business.<br />
Based on the SCoC sustainability assessments have been conducted with several key<br />
suppliers in <strong>Thai</strong>land.<br />
