Mersen’s purchasing charter for a sustainable supply chain formalizes its relationships with suppliers and sets the standard for virtuous collaboration.

It encourages the implementation of best practices – including social and environmental practices – and is accompanied by a CSR questionnaire with a detailed self-assessment grid.

Based on this self-assessments, the Group has assigned a "Supplier CSR" rating with results and related improvement plans.

Under the new 2030 CSR roadmap, the goal is to have less than 5% of suppliers with a rating of less than 40 or lower by 2030.

Compliance with conflict minerals regulations

Mersen is committed to responsible sourcing and does not intend to fuel armed conflict through its purchasing practices or those of its suppliers. The Group ensures that its suppliers and their own suppliers are in compliance with European regulations on minerals from conflict zones and equivalent US legislation (section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act).

Third party corruption risk assessment

The Group has established a procedure to assess third-party corruption risk, including suppliers.
