Erste Group Procurement ensures for existing and potential suppliers of Erste entities:
- Fair and equal treatment
- Transparent and professional supplier selection processes
- High ethical standards for all participants
EGP set up a highly standardised on-boarding process for suppliers. This on-boarding process is based on the Supplier Code of Conduct, which is applicable throughout our organisation to ensure everyone with whom EG has commercial dealings will support EG basic principles and standards. Erste Group views its suppliers as partners in shaping its business. EGP performs Supplier Business Reviews with selected suppliers that achieved the "preferred" status to intensify collaboration and gain mutual benefit.
Erste Group views it suppliers as key to shaping its business to be more sustainable. EGP and the sustainability office have therefore created the supplier code of conduct that ensures that procurement decisions include the suppliers' social and environmental impact. In the course of fulfilling their contractual obligations, suppliers of materials, equipment and services, selected as group partners, are expected to:
- Comply with national or local laws, decrees and regulations
- Fulfil all their legal obligations regarding the health and safety of their employees and their contractors
- Conform to environmental legislation
- Respect and implement the following basic principles of Corporate Social Responsibility
- Protection of fundamental human and labour rights
- Protection of the environment
- Promotion of health & safety
- Engagement against corruption
The full supplier code of conduct and the questionnaire for supplier as well as further documents can be found in the section supplier documents.
