Corporate ResponsibilityPrinciples in Purchasing2003 Progress&2004 Objectives
Purchasing and CR • Mandatory SHE standard • Business interruption risk management • AstraZeneca’s Reputation • Insurers, investors and media interest
We are committed to living our values by ensuring consistently high standards of corporate responsibility wherever AstraZeneca has a presence or impact. AstraZeneca CR Goals
What does this mean for Purchasing? • The overarching principle is that it is our objective to increase suppliers' awareness and seek improvements, rather than excluding any suppliers based on poor performance. • However, if the performance remains poor, we will take steps to place our business elsewhere. • CR should be incorporated into the selection and relationship management of our suppliers whilst ensuring that basic legal requirements are included in contracts. • We can only expect our suppliers to do what we are prepared to do ourselves.
Objectives 2004 • Continue to build CR into contracts, frameworks or master service agreements (Purchasers) • Continue to include CR in Business Control Meetings with strategic and key suppliers (Purchasers). • Build CR into the consistent Category Management process being developed as part of Transformation(Implementation Team)
The purpose of the AstraZeneca Supplier Risk Assessment is to: • Ensure compliance with the AstraZeneca SHE Policy and Standards (Std 6) • Assure security of supply by identifying and managing risk • Facilitate the provision of insurance cover • Identify possible costs associated with SHE improvements as early as possible • Safeguard AstraZeneca’s image and reputation
Supplier evaluation – key principles • Carried out for all new suppliers and new projects at existing suppliers. • Scheduled by the Outsourcing Project Managers (OPM) as one of the project deliverables. • Lead by trained auditors (OPMs), supported by others (OPMs, purchasing, project team members) • Reinforced by specialists (Corporate SHE, QA, etc) where necessary.
Supplier Risk Assessment • An initial assessment of standards: • Safety, Health and Environmental risks • Corporate Social Responsibility • Technical capability • Quality systems • Commercial status
