Ethics in the supply chain
The Budimex Group takes care of due diligence in its supply chain, establishing cooperation only with entities that act ethically. In the process of selecting suppliers of materials and services, one of the qualification criteria is the observance of human rights by the company with which Budimex intends to sign an agreement. The process consists of an initial assessment and a post-completion assessment of the supplies/services. In both cases, the issue of respect for human rights is examined. These issues are regulated by the Instruction for the purchasing procedure. Subcontractors sign a Set of Rules of Conduct for Budimex SA contractors including a commitment to respect human rights.
