Expectations towards our Business Partners
Boehringer Ingelheim procures its raw materials, intermediates, packaging materials, technical components and services from international suppliers.
Our suppliers have to meet the same quality level that we have defined as required for our own products. According to our EHS policy, we expect our suppliers to comply with our requirements in terms of EHS and social performance. EHS aspects are increasingly taken into consideration during the supplier qualification, including risk-based EHS audits.
Furthermore, we expect contractors and other third parties working at our premises to fulfil our EHS standards. Contractors have to ensure and demonstrate that they are in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. In addition, they must comply with all specific site requirements regarding EHS. Contractors must ensure that their employees and subcontractors are trained according to Boehringer Ingelheim EHS procedures and standards.
