What Suppliers Are We Looking For?​

At BAUMANN, our procurement strategy is anchored in resilience, innovation, and sustainability. We embrace a dual- or multiple-sourcing approach to safeguard against supply chain disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted production and delivery to our customers. However, beyond mere risk mitigation, we view our supplier relationships as strategic partnerships, essential for driving continuous improvement and fostering competitive advantages.​

Quality and Process Stability

Quality and Process Stability

Paramount to our operations is the assurance of uncompromising quality and process stability. We seek suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to excellence, adherence to rigorous quality standards, and a track record of consistent performance.​

Certifications

Certifications

We prioritize suppliers who hold relevant certifications that attest to their adherence to industry best practices and standards. Certifications such as ISO, IATF, or industry-specific accreditations are highly valued as they reflect a supplier's commitment to quality and compliance.​

 Localization of Supply Chains

Localization of Supply Chains

In an increasingly interconnected world, we recognize the importance of localized supply chains for enhancing agility, reducing lead times, and minimizing environmental impact. We prioritize suppliers who offer proximity to our manufacturing facilities, thereby fostering closer collaboration, faster response times, and reduced transportation emissions.​

Price Competitiveness/Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Price Competitiveness/Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

While cost competitiveness is a consideration, we emphasize the concept of total cost of ownership (TCO) over initial price alone. We seek suppliers who offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality or sustainability. Through transparent pricing models and collaborative cost optimization initiatives, we aim to achieve mutual value creation and sustainable cost efficiencies.​

FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING

Sustainability requirements​

Preference for Suppliers with Official Sustainability Ratings:​

In line with our commitment to sustainability, we prefer to partner with suppliers who have an official sustainability rating. Such ratings provide independent verification of a supplier's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, offering valuable insights into their sustainability practices and impact. By selecting suppliers with established sustainability ratings, we ensure alignment with our values and objectives, while also promoting transparency and accountability across our supply chain.​

Ethical Sourcing Practices

Ethical Sourcing Practices

We are deeply committed to ensuring that our supply chain is free from unethical practices, including the sourcing of conflict minerals. We strictly adhere to internationally recognized standards and regulations, such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, to prevent the use of minerals that finance conflict or contribute to human rights abuses. By partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical sourcing, we collectively contribute to peace, stability, and prosperity in affected regions.​

Environmental Stewardship

Environmental Stewardship

Preserving the planet for future generations is a responsibility we take seriously. We prioritize suppliers who embrace sustainable manufacturing practices, minimize waste generation, and reduce energy consumption. From the adoption of renewable energy sources to the implementation of eco-friendly production processes, we actively seek partners who demonstrate a dedication to environmental stewardship and resource conservation.​

Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility

We believe in the power of business to drive positive social change. Our sustainability requirements extend beyond environmental considerations to encompass social responsibility initiatives that benefit communities and empower workers. We value suppliers who uphold fair labor practices, promote diversity and inclusion, and invest in the well-being of their employees. By prioritizing socially responsible partners, we contribute to the creation of equitable and inclusive societies.​

Transparency and Traceability

Transparency and Traceability

Transparency is paramount in ensuring the integrity of our supply chain. We expect our suppliers to provide full transparency regarding the origin and composition of their materials, as well as their manufacturing processes.
