Supplier Sustainability Report (2023)
Introduction
EarthBridge Energy is committed to sustainability and responsible business practices. We believe that our suppliers play a critical role in our ability to achieve our sustainability goals. Therefore, we have developed this supplier sustainability report to communicate our expectations and assess the sustainability performance of our suppliers.
Supplier Code of Conduct
We require all our suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct. This code outlines our expectations for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. It covers areas such as labor practices, human rights, health and safety, environmental impact, and business ethics. We expect our suppliers to uphold these standards and work with us to continuously improve their sustainability performance.
Environmental Impact
As a renewable energy company, we recognize the importance of mitigating our environmental impact. Therefore, we expect our suppliers to share our commitment to environmental sustainability. We prioritize suppliers who have a strong record of environmental performance and who demonstrate a commitment to reducing their environmental impact. We also look for suppliers who prioritize the use of sustainable materials, minimize waste, and prioritize energy efficiency.
Social Responsibility
We believe that social responsibility is critical to sustainable business practices. Therefore, we expect our suppliers to prioritize social responsibility in their operations. This includes fair labor practices, non-discrimination, respect for human rights, and a commitment to workplace safety. We also prioritize suppliers who have strong relationships with their local communities and who prioritize the well-being of their employees.
Governance
We believe that strong governance is a critical component of sustainability. Therefore, we prioritize suppliers who have strong governance structures and who demonstrate a commitment to ethical business practices. We expect our suppliers to have robust policies and procedures in place to manage risks related to sustainability and to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Assessment and Monitoring
We conduct regular assessments of our suppliers' sustainability performance to ensure they meet our expectations. We use a variety of tools to assess our suppliers, including supplier surveys, site visits, and third-party audits. We also encourage our suppliers to share their sustainability reports and other relevant documentation with us.
Conclusion
We believe that sustainable business practices are critical to the success of our organization and the well-being of our planet. We expect our suppliers to share our commitment to sustainability and work with us to continuously improve their sustainability performance. We look forward to collaborating with our suppliers to build a more sustainable future.
