At the end of this pre-qualification visit, a level of requirement is estimated and assigned to each supplier on a scale of 1 to 3, incorporating various criteria such as business volume, the industrial sector concerned or the country of production. Each level of requirement triggers its own specific controls. The supplier qualification policy therefore provides for several types of audits and controls to be carried out and followed up when business relationships are established. All the tools deployed in this respect are based on a siteby-site approach, as close as possible to the production plants, and pave the way for corrective action plans when the situation requires the support of a supplier. Audits were conducted and renewed in 2024 according to the intervals specified by the policy with the aim of guiding strategic purchasing policy decisions by assigning compliance scores with the pillars of CSR, quality and reliability in business. / KEY INDICATOR For 2023, the indicator covers the main suppliers based in Asia (requirement levels 2 & 3 assigned according to DC GLOBAL SOURCING ASIA's own grid).
