Supplier management

Our commitment to sustainable development and our corporate culture based on strict ethical principles extends to our suppliers, from whom we require the same commitment to integrity, excellence, professionalism and confidentiality, with special emphasis on the human factor and respect for human rights.

This policy requires, particularly in the case of suppliers providing relevant services, a pre-contract study that analyzes data on the company, its corporate structure, and its reputation, compliance, and commitment to sustainability. The Quality department analyzes the results of this questionnaire and performs a final validation before the company is registered as an authorized supplier. 

In addition, Management Solutions has a Supplier Code of Conduct through which the firm seeks to extend its strong commitment to business ethics and good environmental practices to its suppliers, business partners and third parties in general. 

The formalization of any contract with third parties is also governed by specific General Terms and Conditions, common to all our offices worldwide, which include a specific reference to the Declaration against Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking and the obligation not to commit any related offenses.
