MTU works with numerous suppliers around the globe. We hold them to the environmental and social criteria that are important to us as a basis for trusted and fruitful collaboration. We place a particularly strong focus on safeguarding the respect of human rights. We expect the same standards from our suppliers that we apply to our own business activities.
We carry out an annual risk analysis for our direct suppliers using a standardized tool. The analysis is based on defined criteria that are relevant to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, such as the product groups and the countries they are sourced from. This risk analysis is part of our risk management process for suppliers. We also audit key suppliers to check their compliance with sustainability criteria. This is done with the help of a scorecard based on an ESG assessment tool. Our risk management includes preventive measures as well as corrective measures if necessary.
