07. Responsible resource management and commitment to human capital Annual Report 2013 Supplier Evaluation is also information on conditions and obligations that the Group requires of all its suppliers. There are four criteria in the process of adjudicating and authorizing potential suppliers: ƒƒ Quality of the product/service offered. ƒƒ How the service matches our requirements. ƒƒ Cost and ability to deliver on issues related to CSR.. ƒƒ Confirmation and certification that the Group’s CSR criteria have been met. All potential suppliers interested in becoming certified as PRISA suppliers should apply via the Electronic Purchases Platform, which manages Group-supplier relations, all aspects of the process, including potential supplier registration, application, the certification and authorization of all our suppliers worldwide as well as ongoing follow-up and periodic assessment according to those criteria previously outlined. All suppliers must be certified and authorised prior to forming part of our list of suppliers. 134 For the past six years, the Department of Corporate Purchases has been managing and updating a data base of the Group’s chief suppliers, evaluating them on key CSR criteria, including paper management, recycling and reuse of fungibles and CO2 emissions. Applicants must be in full compliance with Conventions 138 and 182 of the International Labor Organization (ILO) governing child labor. Non-compliance with these conventions will nullify any contracts between the parties. PRISA favors suppliers who meet CSR criteria and who have SA 8000, ISO 9001 certification etc. Indeed, 74 % of our suppliers have a quality certification. In 2012, as in previous years, PRISA carried out a study of a sample of our wide number of suppliers. In 2012, the number surveyed was 180, as compared to 175 in 2011, and they were evaluated by service and percentage in volume of purchases.
