Oxiteno, a part of Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL), has an initiative to measure and monitor environmental and social performance in its supply chain through the EcoVadis platform.

The EcoVadis' platform allows the company to evaluate and compare its suppliers in the main themes of Social and Corporate Responsibility (CSC) – including the environment, labor practices, and human rights, ethics, and sustainable purchases, while collaborating to create improvement plans for its processes.

Indorama Ventures was recognized in the EcoVadis Platinum category, scoring 80 points.

Sustainability is a central element of Oxiteno’s strategy. One of the actions on this front is the Supplier Relationship Program, which aims to strengthen positive impact partnerships and share the pursuit of innovation and better results. Oxiteno believes that the sum of its partnerships is fundamental to the evolution of processes that will contribute to a more sustainable world. Watch the video and learn more about the project.

How do I participate in Oxiteno's Supplier Relationship Management?

The Supplier Relationship Program is applicable to all suppliers in the categories of Petrochemical and Renewable Raw Materials, Utilities, Packaging, Tolling, and Logistics Services, which is connected to Oxiteno's Units in Brazil. To take part in it is necessary to meet the following criteria:

Fulfil the Quality Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Sign the Responsible Sourcing Policy acceptance term
Perform EcoVadis assessment
Achieve Supplier Quality Index (SQI)

Once these criteria have been achieved, Oxiteno will carry out the Supplier Performance Index (SPI) annually, and will recognize the preferred suppliers according to their performance.

How do I know which supplier category I belong to?

Suppliers are organized according to the following categories:

Suppliers of Raw Materials (products of petrochemical or petrochemical derivatives origin – eg. ethylene glycol, acetic acid), Utilities (eg. electricity, water, steam), Packaging (eg. drums, bags, pallets) and Tolling
Suppliers of renewable derivatives (products of plant origin - eg sugar cane, palm, coconut, corn)
Suppliers of maritime and road logistic services, storage, tankage and inspection services.

Is the EcoVadis Assessment mandatory?

The EcoVadis assessment is one of the criteria of the Suppliers Relationship Management and is recommended to all suppliers. This assessment generates a sustainability score, which will be considered when calculating the Supplier Performance Index (SPI). Only suppliers that meet all criteria will be eligible for recognition as a preferred supplier.

Do I have to fulfill the documents and perform the EcoVadis assessment for all the branches that my company has?

No. A single term of acceptance of the Responsible Sourcing Policy will be requested, as well as a single Quality Self-Assessment Questionnaire and a single EcoVadis assessment per company, making it valid for all branches of the company.

What is the periodicity of the reevaluations of the Quality Self-Assessment Questionnaire and the term of acceptance of the Responsible Supply Policy?

The Quality Self-Assessment Questionnaires and the Responsible Supply Policy acceptance term will be revalidated every 3 years.

How will I be evaluated and recognized?

The Supplier Performance Index (SPI) will be calculated considering the Ecovadis Assessment score (30%) plus the Supplier Quality Index (70%), that is, (SPI) = (AE + SQI). Oxiteno will annually recognize its suppliers, considering the fulfillment of all program criteria and the best performance evaluation for each category of the supplier.

If I do not reach the desired minimum performance, will I be disqualified as a supplier?

If the minimum desirable performance indexes are not reached according to the criteria, an action and development plan will be carried out jointly with the supplier to improve its performance. After implementing and monitoring these actions, Oxiteno will reevaluate the supplier, applying the Consequences Policy if necessary.
