Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

Supply chain sustainability has been defined by the United Nations Global Compact as the management of social, environmental and economic impacts and the promotion of good governance practices throughout the supply chain.

SAES has always collaborated with its suppliers to ensure it obtains the best products and services, which are fundamental in maintaining its high standards of excellence and - in turn - meeting the needs of its customers. The different sectors in which SAES operates are constantly evolving, both in terms of market dynamics and their complexity and high levels of technology. In this context, stakeholders’ expectations in terms of sustainable supply chain management are increasingly apparent and tangible and taking responsibility for such issues is becoming a critical success factor.

Consequently, capitalizing on its experience, SAES has drafted its own Supplier Code of Conduct, formalising its committment to managing sustainability issues in the different supply chains within which it operates and implementing a process for assessing and managing the risks involved.

The adopts and promotes amongst its stakeholders an approach that is consistent with its strategic and operating objectives and compliant with the law and applicable regulations. The Supplier Code of Conduct applies to all SAES suppliers, which are, in turn, encouraged to share it and to promote its application amongst their own suppliers, thus supporting the sustainability of the overall supply chain. The objective is therefore to generate long-term economic, social and environmental value for all the stakeholders involved.
