Nolato's supplier code of conduct

Nolato has a long-standing commitment to sustainability, and we are acutely aware of the importance of achieving net zero emissions. Our journey towards this goal is based on the principles of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which means that our endeavors are scientifically informed and will likely have an impact. But we can’t do it on our own.

“Achieving a sustainable future requires cooperation with our suppliers,” comments Camilla Magnusson, Nolato’s Group Procurement Director. “Besides introducing a code of conduct that suppliers need to follow to be our business partners, this year we have presented a program that we call the ‘Nolato Sustainable Procurement Initiative 2024’, which encourages our suppliers to be proactive about their work with sustainability. 

“We are doing this because we know we need to join forces to reduce our collective carbon footprint, which is the key to improving Nolato’s sustainability performance.” 

Camilla Magnusson explains that the Nolato Sustainable Procurement Initiative 2024 aims to assess suppliers’ performance based on defined sustainability criteria, and to identify areas for collaboration and improvement.

Nolato will be gathering insights on the following areas:

• Supplier compliance with Nolato’s Code of Conduct for suppliers
• Suppliers’ EcoVadis rating
• Suppliers’ commitment to the Science Based Targets Initiative
• Suppliers’ procurement of renewable electricity

“Suppliers who satisfy our requirements will be given a label in Nolato’s supplier portal and have the benefit of being designated primary suppliers for future purchasing,” concludes Camilla ­Magnusson.
