Supplier Risk Management

A Data-Driven Approach to Supplier Sustainability Risks

VDMIL Group has adopted a robust, data-driven Supplier Sustainability Risk Management System to ensure transparency, accountability, and long-term resilience across our supply chain.

Continuous Supplier Risk Monitoring

We evaluate suppliers using risk indicators related to ESG performance, regulatory compliance, labor practices, and environmental impact. This continuous monitoring helps us identify potential issues early and respond proactively.

Structured Risk Assessments

We conduct structured risk assessments that translate identified risks into practical improvement measures:

Action plans with clear timelines and responsibilities.
Performance tracking and regular progress evaluations.
Detailed sustainability self-assessments completed by suppliers.

This systematic approach drives continuous improvement and stronger compliance across our supplier base.

Onsite Supplier Audits

We conduct onsite supplier audits as:

Proactive spot checks in high-risk or strategic categories.
Targeted evaluations triggered by specific concerns or findings.

These audits provide deeper insight into operational risks, help identify sustainability gaps, and enable us to support suppliers in enhancing their processes and controls.

Our goal is to build a stronger, more resilient supply chain—not to terminate relationships. We prioritize collaboration and improvement instead of disengagement, working with suppliers to raise standards and create lasting impact.

Supplier Engagement & Dialogue

Strengthening Relationships Through Continuous Dialogue

Strengthening communication with our supplier community is a key part of VDMIL Group’s sustainability strategy. We engage suppliers as partners, working together to share expectations, improve performance, and accelerate progress toward shared sustainability goals.

How We Engage with Suppliers

We build strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers through:

Regular Supplier Days held across global locations.
Open dialogues to align expectations and share best practices.
Collaborative planning to design and implement sustainability improvements.

These activities create a shared understanding of priorities, foster mutual trust, and strengthen our collective impact.

Benefits of Ongoing Engagement

Continuous engagement with our suppliers delivers measurable value:

Builds trust, transparency, and long-term partnerships.
Reduces operational, ethical, and environmental risks.
Enhances collective sustainability performance across the value chain.

VDMIL Group has been recognized as a “Supplier Engagement Leader 2023” by CDP for the second consecutive year, highlighting our commitment to reducing environmental risks through responsible sourcing and active supplier collaboration.
