Supplier Information
Bertrandt relies on partnership and cooperation with its suppliers. Together, we work to fulfil customer requirements and set up sustainable, shared procurement processes to our mutual benefit.
We treat each other with openness and honesty in a manner marked by respect and responsibility. We also expect this from our suppliers.
Our starting point for sustainability is given by the 10 UN principles for a more inclusive and sustainable economy that benefits all people, societies and markets. The ten principles are the basic framework for our activity; it is from these that we derive the measures we take to attain sustainability.
Our internal guidelines are anchored bindingly in our corporate policy.
