Suppliers are a fundamental part of our activities. At Sacyr, we expect our suppliers to comply with the applicable regulations in each geographic area, our Code of Ethics and Conduct, and the policies and commitments detailed below, as we are part of the same team.
To this end, each supplier assumes our commitments by accepting the "Clause on compliance with current legislation and business, environmental, and social ethics" included in the contracts.
We perform ESG risk analyses on our main supplier portfolio. The analysis covers all projects we execute and assesses size, length of the business relationship, sector, geographic presence, and total spend. For these same suppliers, we conduct a pre-evaluation process to assess compliance with quality, environmental, and social management criteria, as well as a final evaluation process to complete their qualification based on each supplier's performance during contract execution.
Within this framework, Sacyr integrates methodologies based on recognized international standards and industry initiatives in social, environmental, and governance (ESG) matters into its evaluation and audit processes, such as SA8000 (social responsibility), ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), SGE 21 (ethical and ESG management), in addition to other standards related to diversity and equality (ISO 30415, efr, and Equality Seal), which are aligned with widely used schemes such as SMETA, BSCI, or RBA.
Likewise, Sacyr and its suppliers are evaluated through leading industry platforms such as Achilles, which reinforce independent and continuous performance verification across the supply chain, and by external certification bodies such as AENOR, SGS, and TÜV RHEINLAND.
