Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

GRI 308-1 GRI 414-1 We want our policies for the supply chain to be universal, and to also apply to organ- isations that we work with. We are therefore pleased that our partners, motivated by a sense of shared commitment to healthy business principles, show a full understanding of that approach. Our activities are based on the high re- quirements of the ISO 9001:2015 standard. GRI 103-2 We have introduced the Nowy Styl Supplier Code of Conduct to broaden the ethical, social, econom- ic and environmental responsibility standards for our sup- pliers, whose businesses are a key part of our supply chain. Only this approach will allow us to truly balance pro- duction processes and take full responsibility for them. At the same time, we are convinced that running a business to the highest standards is a source of long-term compet- itiveness and security of an organisation. The Nowy Styl Supplier Code of Conduct is a global doc- ument that applies to all of our suppliers. Compliance with the standards set out in the Code is one of the assessment criteria in the supplier selection process. The Code sets out ethical standards (including social and environmental) and business practices followed by Nowy Styl employees, and it is in line with the values adopted by our company as the foundation for its development. The document has been prepared in compliance with the legislation and culture of the countries in which Nowy Styl operates. In 2018–2019, 100% of new suppliers were vetted with respect to the environmental and social criteria (9 in 2018 and 13 in 2019). At the end of 2019, we updated our sup- plier assessment form to increase the weight of ethical and environmental issues. Our goal is to periodically (every 2 years) check our key and most active suppliers according to the changed requirements. As a result, we maintain high environmental standards in the supply chain. In 2019, we cooperated with 2,570 companies from all over the world. 5.1 Setting standards 1,103  Poland 80  Italy 792  Germany 37  Austria 382  Switzerland 25  United Kingdom 23  Netherlands 21  Slovakia 16  China 15  Denmark 11  Sweden 11  Spain 10  Czech Republic 8  France 6  Hungary 6  Taiwan 6  Belgium 18 Turkey, Korea, Ukraine, Slovenia, Ireland, Romania, Latvia, United States of America, Russian Federation, Lithuania, Singapore, Republic of Greece Click to see Nowy Styl Supplier Code of Conduct Number of Nowy Styl’s suppliers in 2019 by the country of origin 83
