Suppliers

Suppliers of direct materials are approved on the basis of evaluations. Requirements that must be met by suppliers include compliance with the Husqvarna Code of Conduct as well as the Restricted Material List (RML).

The Husqvarna Code of Conduct is incorporated in all new supplier agreements, and all suppliers are encouraged to observe and comply with the principles of the Code. Husqvarna carries out regular audits of suppliers’ quality and environmental work. This is done partly in connection with the approval of a new supplier, both in terms of the monitoring of existing suppliers’ quality and their environmental work. One of Husqvarna’s practices for supplier monitoring is Active Supplier Quality Assessment (ASQA).
