Responsible sourcing

The goal of sustainability requires a collective effort that extends far beyond the perimeter of the operations of a single company. 

To this end, IBSA is committed to operating according to high environmental, social and ethical standards to ensure the long-term sustainability of its activities. At the same time, it aims to lead the implementation of virtuous business partnership models in which production processes are not only driven by business logic but contribute to environmental protection and the enhancement of the communities in which we operate. This commitment is reflected in our Supplier Code of Conduct, which establishes the minimum standards that must be guaranteed by our partners.

With this in mind, we perform due diligence of our supply chain to ensure compliance with applicable regulations (including child labor standards) while ensuring responsible sourcing of raw materials (including minerals and metals originating from conflict or high-risk areas), products and services.

All Suppliers and their collaborators are invited to communicate to us any hypothesis - even suspicion - of violation of the Supplier Code of Conduct, referring to their own company or concerning the supply chain. IBSA provides several confidential channels:
