Fluidra believes it is important that its suppliers be on the same wavelength and share its values and principles. Flui- dra is therefore trying to develop a corporate supplier selec- tion policy by setting homogenous guidelines for all of the companies in the Group. These guidelines deal with aspects such as respect for the environment, human rights and qua- lity certifications. Relations with suppliers who fail to fulfil these criteria are discontinued.
Fluidra’s suppliers are located throughout the world in Asia, the USA, Europe and Spain, and are usually near our pro- duction plants and branch offices. [EC6]
[4.12] During the last quarter of 2011, the Suppliers’ Code of Ethics was approved. This document is a firm commitment made by both parties to respect and comply with the prin- ciples established in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Rights of the Child and the Declaration of the International Labour Organisation, as well as to comply with the legislation in force. This commitment is considered to be an essential requirement to maintain current and future tra- ding relations. This document is available on Fluidra’s website.
In 2011, we began the task of informing our suppliers of the existence of this code. They were given all the information they needed before being asked to accept and sign it. Once we have been able to inform a higher proportion of our suppliers, we will be able to start to examine and analyse the data on the suppliers who fulfil or fail to fulfil the prin- ciples in the code and take any necessary measures. [HR2]
Currently, all new collaboration agreements with suppliers are now reviewed by the Legal or Purchases department at headquarters. They all include clauses on human rights in addition to corporate clauses such as the one on the Data Protection Act. So far we have covered all the suppliers with whom we place our biggest orders or with whom we work on a regular basis. [HR1]
The process of informing our external suppliers will conti- nue during 2012–2013. All of the information relating to this matter will also be sent to the companies in the Group so that they can carry out the same procedure with their local suppliers.
In 2011 was published the Supplier Code of Ethics, which includes compliance with the Declaration of Human Rights, Children or ILO
