At Telenet, we are committed to manage our supply chain in a responsible way. The products and services that we purchase from our suppliers have as much of an ethical, environmental and social impact as our own products and services. We therefore reward those suppliers who strive for sustainable operations and encourage the others to make improvements. This goal is firmly embedded in our procurement process.

Telenet Supplier Policy

  • Suppliers and subcontractors should comply to the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in relation to prohibition on child and forced labor, discrimination and freedom of association.
  • Our policy covers all labour policies and standards, including health and safety, working conditions and remuneration.
 
We do enforce this policy by:

  • Ensuring all supplier contracts do include clauses regarding labour standards and policies.
  • Regularly assessing its suppliers on policy compliance.
  • Driving audits to check policy compliance. When suppliers are suspected to breach the policy, a formal audit is done.

The Dynamic EcoVadis Scorecard

Since 2013, Telenet – together with its main shareholder Liberty Global – applies the dynamic scorecard of EcoVadis to measure the ethical, environmental and social risks of our suppliers. This assesses the CSR performance of companies on twenty-one indicators, grouped into four themes: environmental risk, social risks, ethical risks and supplier risks. We use this system to compare and benchmark the performance of our suppliers.

 

We regularly monitor our suppliers and, in case of a suspected breach, we will start a formal audit. In case of non-compliance with CSR principles, we will initially help the supplier to take corrective action. If no agreement is reached on an acceptable recovery plan, the business relationship may be terminated.
