Ethias places great importance on building long-term partnerships with its suppliers.
Beyond the obvious notions of value for money, Ethias requires its suppliers to respect the principles of the International Labor Organization (ILO), including the formal exclusion of child labour and absolute respect for trade union rights. This commitment has been formalised in a detailed agreement that Ethias suppliers must accept and apply.
The procurement policy also assesses quality criteria in terms of:
Inspired by its corporate values of solidarity and social progress, Ethias aims to fully assume its social, societal and environmental responsibilities.
This approach is in line with the company's commitment to sustainable development, the pursuit of well-being for all and the improvement of quality of life. And it concerns all stakeholders.
Compliance is part of the corporate culture of companies that value honesty and integrity, respect for high ethical values in the conduct of business, and respect for both the spirit and the letter of current regulations.
In this context, Ethias and its employees must behave with integrity, and customers must always be treated honestly, fairly and professionally.
