Almirall supplier’s code of conduct

Sustainability Standards, as outlined in the Almirall’s Suppliers Code of Conduct, list our expectations towards suppliers in the areas of ethics, human rights & labour, health & safety, environment and management systems.

Our Almirall suppliers’ code of conduct

Sustainable procurement

“We truly believe that collaborative relationships with our suppliers can lead to identifying innovative new approaches that can help to achieve our mutual success.” 

In line with our Purpose, we request our key suppliers to be evaluated by an independent rating agency using strict ESG criteria to ensure that they align with our sustainability standards. Based on their scorecards and identified risks, we establish corrective action plans to mitigate and reduce those risks as well as improve over time.
