Impact Report

Structuring , deploying ,

measuring

Over the years , we have rolled out a broad range

of actions , a dynamic that has also been reinforced

by the development of regulations and customer

requirements .

• 80 % of procurement spend is covered by sup

-

pliers who have signed the code of conduct ;

• regular CSR assessments carried out through ex

-

ternal audits or internal assessment tools

support for suppliers in carrying out their carbon

footprint assessments

training teams in responsible purchasing prac

tices and regulatory developments

But as these challenges have grown in scale one

question arose how can we structure this ap

proach sustainably and make it legible for all the

stakeholders concerned both internally and exter

nally

Enhanced due diligence

As early as 2010 , an initial ethical code of conduct

was formalised and circulated . The aim at the time

was to share our requirements , raise our partners ’

awareness of social and environmental issues , and

formalise their commitment through signature of

the code . Because our suppliers are present on

every continent , working internationally entails en

-

hanced due diligence : working conditions , respect

for human rights , environmental impacts — all of

these issues must be approached with lucidity and

rigour

In 2021 our commitment took on a new dimen

sion we set ourselves the objective of suppor

ting all our direct strategic suppliers in their CSR

approach by 2025 Today that objective is close

to being achieved 70 of these suppliers have

already been assessed and all of them will be by

2026 But this is not just a box ticking exercise it

is deep ongoing work that requires genuine col

laboration identifying gaps building improvement

plans and progressing together over the long term

When we talk about our impacts , we look beyond the walls of our

factories . Our responsibility is much broader ; it begins right from the

supply chain . At Petzl , we know that making progress on sustainability

means bringing all our partners and suppliers on board . That is exactly

what our collaboration with the international AMFORI network is about .

Its mission ? To audit our suppliers through a shared approach and

support us in evolving our social and environmental practices throughout

our value chain .
