Sustainability runs deep throughout our supply chain

Working with our supply chain is an essential part of achieving and continually improving Swisslog’s sustainability goals. This comes over and above our own internal sustainability policies and practices.

Sustainable procurement is fundamentally important for every business today. It saves money, reduces waste, improves competitiveness, and builds a business reputation. Even more important, it helps to ensure a better life for generations to come.

As a turnkey provider, it is essential Swisslog partners with the best suppliers for our business. Together we ensure that all services and solutions made internally and by our suppliers meet our sustainability requirements.

Active partner participation

Both internal and external suppliers must meet sustainability requirements.

Therefore, Swisslog demands partners’ active participation in sustainability, compliance and ESG assessments, the service for which is provided by our partner IntegrityNext.
