- Supplier details are meticulously recorded, with a list of suppliers for raw materials such as adhesives, films, and cores, ensuring that these suppliers meet certification standards.
Shaping a Fair and Sustainable Supply Chain
At WTK, we integrate ethical conduct principles into supplier engagement to strengthen supply chain risk management. All suppliers, both new and existing, are subject to our Supplier Code of Conduct and risk assessment process, which form part of our due diligence approach.
We take action to manage the environmental impact of suppliers by:
- Encouraging reporting through questionnaires and assessments.
- Promoting impact reduction by supporting suppliers in adopting sustainable practices and corrective actions where needed.
- Monitoring compliance via supplier meetings, site visits, documentation reviews and follow-up evaluations.
Looking ahead, WTK aims to deepen our involvement in industry initiatives and workshops that focus on environmental sustainability in the supply chain. We see these platforms as opportunities to share best practices, collaborate on solutions, and gradually align with broader frameworks that advance responsible and sustainable sourcing.
