Responsible Suppliers Declaration
type, including but not limited to companies, corporations, temporary or long-term joint
ventures, etc., is to establish stable and long-lasting relationships of cooperation, in secure
digital environments, based on honesty, transparency and trust, to minimize the risk of
breaching human and social rights, ensure regulatory compliance, in particular but without
limitation, concerning matters relating to ethical conduct and integrity, and to reduce the
company's environmental footprint. All of this while guaranteeing the supply of goods and
services with the highest standards. ACCIONA seeks to involve the company, its employees and
its supply chain in a commitment to Ongoing Improvement, and to include Society as an
affected party and stakeholder.
Since joining the United Nations Global Compact, ACCIONA has undertaken the challenge of
phasing in the ten Universal Principles on which the Compact is based in conducting its daily
business, and of notifying its stakeholders with the utmost transparency and objectivity with
regard to its progress in this connection.
Through this document, we aim to convey to you our commitment to these principles and share
them with you, recommending that you join the UN Global Compact and adopt our management
system for corporate social responsibility practices.
The ten principles of the Global Compact ( www.unglobalcompact.org ) are:
Human Rights
· Principle 1: Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally
proclaimed human rights, within their scope of responsibility.
· Principle 2: Businesses should make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.
Labor
· Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition
of the right to collective bargaining.
· Principle 4: Businesses should uphold the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory
labor.
· Principle 5: Business should uphold the effective abolition of child labor.
· Principle 6: Businesses should uphold the elimination of discrimination in respect of
employment and occupation.
Environment:
· Principle 7: Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges.
· Principle 8: Businesses should undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental
responsibility
· Principle 9: Businesses should encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally
friendly technologies.
Anti-Corruption
· Principle 10: Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and
bribery.
As part of its commitment with its suppliers, ACCIONA will implement a process to control and
monitor their performance throughout the duration of the commercial relationship. Likewise, it
may also review the orders or contracts carried out, once a supply has been delivered or a
service executed.
The assessment will be conducted taking into account the supplier's performance in the
following areas:
- Quality - Environment
- Deadlines - Administrative obligations
- Health and Safety Management - Technical capacity
As a result of the assessment, the supplier will be assigned a rating level of either A, B, C or D. If
the supplier’s performance is unsatisfactory (three D ratings), it may be deemed as a “Non
valid” supplier by the ACCIONA Group. This situation may be reversed when any of the issues
that were causing it have been remedied, which will be verified through an audit, if applicable, or
by drawing up an action plan to mitigate and resolve the shortcomings.
Likewise, the company CONFIRMS that it has read and knows the Code of Conduct, accepts the
Ethical Principles for suppliers, contractors and collaborators of ACCIONA, and that it knows
and undertakes to comply with ACCIONA's following minimum standards in connection with
Integrity, Quality and Environment and Personal Data Protection [1] :
