2. Responsible Procurement
Responsible Procurement is about mitigating ethical, social and environmental risks in our supply chain by addressing sustainability challenges. We expect our suppliers to make continuous improvements towards sustainable business conduct.
Maersk makes thousands of purchasing decisions each year, with a large share of these decisions made at the local level. Our suppliers are spread across the globe and work in accordance with varying standards and cultural norms. Suppliers can be as diverse as shipyards, trucking companies, terminals, and recruitment agencies and operate in locations where local conditions may not meet international standards on safety, labour or environmental protection. Our Responsible Procurement programme aims for mitigating these risks and for continuous improvement and capability-building of suppliers. The programme is an integral pillar of Maersk's Sustainability Priorities. International companies' purchasing decisions impact environmental, social and economic conditions around the world. Please visit our sustainability section to know more about our sustainability strategy.
Our commitment to Responsible Procurement is set out in Maersk's Third Party Code of Conduct and in our Commit Rule (internal governance framework) on Responsible Procurement. The programme and the Code reflect our commitment to the UN Global Compact principles for business sustainability, and international standards such as the core labour conventions of the International Labour Organisation and the UN Declaration of Human Rights. The Maersk Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) oversees Responsible Procurement progress and strategy. Brand / business unit CEOs and brand CPOs are responsible for integrating the Responsible Procurement programme into existing procurement policies and processes. In practice, integrating responsible procurement takes place through supplier invitations and registrations, assessments of social and environmental performance, improvement plans, supplier workshops and suppliers' contractual commitment as well as training of our procurement staff.
