With reference to the ISO 9001 supplier evaluation and assessment content, we wrote the supplier evaluation management procedure J-QP0705, which is applicable to JPC practical implementation. After passing the procedure, we become a JPC qualified supplier.
JPC revised its supplier code of conduct in 2024 and required suppliers to re-sign the new version of the document, which was completed in September. A total of 477 suppliers have re-signed.
In 2024, the "RBA-WE002, RBA Supplier Management Measures" was revised and issued on 20240419, and the annual audit guidance RBA and GHG carbon inventory of suppliers were implemented. SQM will conduct audits, guidance improvements and closure of deficiencies.
We conduct QBR according to the importance and cooperation level of suppliers, convey our company's business philosophy and goals, and confirm the progress of suppliers.
