Responsible Sourcing & Traceability
Source knowledge is part of product definition.
Supply discussions start with material origin, authority to supply and the roles of participating parties.
Source, trade and destination risks are reviewed through appropriate qualification procedures.
-
Origin and counterparties
Source, supplier, operating entity and supporting documents are identified before accepting a new material.
-
Risk-based review
Review intensity follows geographic, contractual and material risks under approved procedures.
-
Linked records
Lot records connect inspection, custody and delivery; traceability alone is not a guarantee of a risk-free supply chain.
