We care about our partners
After the supplier evaluation calculations have been completed, the supplier is considered automatically approved if they have a final score equal to or greater than 50%. Exceptions to this case may exist if Management decides to maintain the supplier for commercial, strategic, or other reasons.
If the supplier has an evaluation below 50%, sending the result may be considered if there is an intention to continue working with the supplier and if this information is deemed likely to lead to performance improvement.
If there are anomalies/deviations, complaints, or non-conformities, OPTIMISTIC will communicate them appropriately to resolve them positively, with the expectation that appropriate actions will be implemented for their resolution.
Each external supplier/service provider must ensure/seek to:
- Comply with legal environmental and occupational health and safety (OHS) obligations
- Optimize their products/services through best environmental practices, aiming to control the product/service life cycle.
