At BATEL, we see responsibility in the supply chain as an integral part of the process from the very beginning of our production.
We work with stakeholders who care about human rights, environmental sensitivity, occupational safety and fair trade principles. Our core values include not employing child labor, providing fair wages, creating safe working conditions, adopting environmentally friendly production methods and creating a transparent and traceable supply chain.
From the selection of raw materials to the end of the product's life cycle, we take ethical standards and environmental impacts into account at every step. We move forward with low-carbon transportation, circular design and innovative practices.
We work with our suppliers with a “win-win” approach, ensuring reliable and high-quality processes. In this way, we also provide opportunities for the development of our suppliers, and we develop together in mutual trust and commitment.
At BATEL, we believe that ethical responsibility does not end at our factory gates, but extends to our entire value chain. For this reason, we believe that our strategic suppliers BATEL Code of Ethics’We demand that they formally adhere to the principles set out in the 'Code of Conduct'. We reflect this approach holistically in all business decisions and operational processes.
Our Code of Ethics defines the professional and ethical standards we expect from our suppliers in areas such as respect for labor, environmental responsibility, anti-corruption and data privacy. It is an integral part of our procurement policy and is included in contracts. We also support the dissemination of these standards within suppliers' own ecosystems, thus encouraging second and third level business partners to act in line with BATEL's sustainability goals.
