We aim to build long-term relationships with our suppliers and partners, and treat them equally following applicable laws and regulations.

Our Supply Chain Due Diligence
Assemblin Caverion Group is continuously enhancing and developing it supplier due diligence processes and practices both in scope and depth, to systematically evaluate the suppliers' performance against the requirements as well as to identify and manage the ESG risks in the supply chain. Developing these processes and practices will help us build an even more robust, risk-based approach.
The identification and mapping of the risks is carried out primarily by analyzing the suppliers’ country and industry risks related to relevant sustainability themes such as environment, labor and human rights, and ethics. Considering the existing and future regulatory changes, mainly driven by the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Norwegian Transparency Act, the Company's efforts to identify and manage risks in its supply chain will increase.
