ENSURING Supply chain fundamentals Businesses must take action in all aspects of their supply chain to ensure their longevity. This means ensuring that ethical and sustainable practices are applied at all levels. Bureau Veritas plays an essential role in helping its clients achieve this goal by performing independent social compliance audits, including ethical trade audits (SMETA). Through these certifications and audits, businesses are better equipped to mitigate risk of human rights infringements throughout their supply chain, help their suppliers improve and guarantee the effectiveness of their responsible purchasing policies. DEMONSTRATING the impact of our clients’ ESG initiatives To help businesses that are transforming their model and improving their Sustainability practices throughout their value chain, Bureau Veritas offers training, audits, certifications and verifications. These services apply to all spheres of action: energy, carbon footprint, procurement, circular economy, responsible production, social issues and health and safety management. For example, we provide ISO 14001 certification, which helps companies measure, manage and limit their environmental footprint by integrating Sustainability into their strategy. BUREAU VERITAS33
