Sustainable procurement
Purchasing sustainably
We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that they operate according to our supplier Code of Conduct and in line with our sustainability goals.
Why it matters
Working in more than 100 countries, our operations are supported by a global network of suppliers and subcontractors. DNV GL’s vision – ‘global impact for a safe and sustainable future’ – applies as much to our supply chain as it does to our own operations and the services we provide. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that they operate according to our supplier Code of Conduct and in line with our sustainability goals.
We follow a consistent procurement programme that allows us to monitor our suppliers’ progress towards achieving sustainable operations. We continue to strengthen our approach by installing systematic procurement policies and practices Group-wide.
Progress 2018
In 2018, we continued with sustainable procurement projects initiated in 2017. This included completing a review and update of all relevant governance documents for procurement. All procurement staff were trained in the revised policies and procedures, and new staff attended a two-day training programme on procurement governance. We also completed the installation of software for tracking, monitoring and reporting supplier data.
