We have defined a set of requirements for our suppliers, based on Bluefors Code of Conduct and the Bluefors Quality & Environmental Policy. These requirements enable our suppliers to take the same approach to ethical and sustainable business practices as we do here at Bluefors. We provide more detailed Supplier Basic Requirements documentation during the supplier onboarding process.
Quality and Environment
Both product and process quality are essential to Bluefors, as well as to our customers, and therefore we encourage our suppliers to apply a zero-defect mindset in everything they do. We also believe in considering and mitigating the environmental impacts of our operations, striving towards a more sustainable business model.
