Management of our supply chain is a core activity for Fibra Danhos, because it enables us to respond to our properties’ needs in terms of cost, service and quality requirements with tools that ensure we are as sustainable as possible.
Our suppliers are key allies in this process, and making them a part of our sustainability strategy is a goal we work on continuously throughout the year. Aware of the strength that comes from having an excellent supply chain, we are constantly looking for ways to manage it, bolstering relations with our suppliers in order to reduce potential risks and expand our sphere of influence.
Fibra Danhos has two instruments for strengthening the links of our supply chain. One of them is internal: the Policy on Sustainable Sourcing (https://www.fibradanhos.com.mx/gobierno-corporativo), which guides our employees in their daily work so they can conform to the legal, social and environmental guidelines involved in our sourcing of goods and services. The other instrument is the Supplier Policy, which provides guidelines for our suppliers regarding environmental aspects and observance of ethical human rights and labor practices: these are known, as a group, as environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns. A work committee made up of the heads of the Purchasing Department and the ESG committee guarantees tracking and compliance with that policy, as well as its distribution.
These guidelines are also the basis for supplier selection, which is conducted on the basis of free competition, above-board processes and high quality standards, which help us avoid risks like money-laundering, corruption and fraud, as stipulated in our Anti-Corruption Policy (https://www.fibradanhos.com.mx/gobierno-corporativo) This favors our business continuity and enables us to guarantee service excellence for our tenants and visitors.
In 2019, Fibra Danhos had 1,285 suppliers, eleven of which are considered key: a portfolio of committed companies that have served us well for a number of years.
To guarantee compliance with these guidelines and safeguard the integrity of the entire process, we carefully select our suppliers based on a 12-point questionnaire, encompassing issues of ethics (anti-corruption, confidential information, conflict-free sourcing), labor (equal treatment, satisfaction surveys), safety, health & environment (health or environmental risk assessment in operations, medical monitoring program, emissions monitoring) and sustainability. In addition to this questionnaire, suppliers are audited prior to the contract signing. All of this enables us to ensure that their ethical principles are compatible with those of Fibra Danhos. If a supplier fails to comply with these principles at some later date, their contract may be rescinded. (308-1, 414-1)
