BOBST is committed to building and maintaining strong relationships with our suppliers based on mutual trust, respect, and fairness. We expect our suppliers to share our vision and values and to adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct, environmental responsibility, and social accountability.
We offer our suppliers and partners a long-term relationship built on mutual growth. Here, you'll find all the information you need.
At BOBST, how we deliver our mission matters as much as what we deliver. We seek to build respectful, trust-based relationships, and we aspire to work with passion to deliver performance.
We believe our values are essential not only to our own success, but to the success of our suppliers as well. We expect suppliers to embody these values and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical conduct.
For these reasons, BOBST requires each partner to sign our Supplier Code of Conduct before entering into a business relationship.
Sustainability is one of the four pillars guiding BOBST's vision for the future of packaging production. Our strategy is built on three additional pillars: operations, equipment, and packaging use and end-of-life, reflecting our commitment to improving sustainability performance, measured by relevant business indicators.
For suppliers, BOBST has adopted a four-step approach to address regulatory requirements, market expectations, and customer requirements:
Suppliers are informed through the Supplier Code of Conduct, which they are required to sign as a commitment to BOBST's standards.
A Supplier Risk Analysis is conducted by the buyer responsible for the supplier.
Suppliers are assessed through an EcoVadis evaluation.
If the first three steps indicate a high level of risk, an on-site supplier assessment is conducted to further evaluate the supplier's performance and compliance.
The BOBST Supplier Code of Conduct ensures that all suppliers meet our standards. It covers minimum requirements across key sustainability areas, including conflict minerals, child labor, bribery, conflicts of interest, counterfeit parts, human rights, data protection, and intellectual property.
