Procedure:
Our process for due diligence is based on OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible business conduct and in compliance with ISO 31000:2018 & ISO 26000:2020
Step 1: Top line risk evaluation
We are evaluating our suppliers on management level to evaluate whether we see a risk of negative impacts to basic human rights and decent working conditions. We do evaluate the risks based on criteria’s such as country of operations, industry and yearly procurement spend. If we do not see any risk with the supplier, the evaluation will stop at this point in the process.
Step 2: Detailed risk evaluation
If we do see a risk in Step 1, we need to do a more detailed risk evaluation in Step 2. We will evaluate the findings in Step 1 against Sea Tank Chartering’s knowledge about the supplier. If this is not sufficient, information and documentation will be collected from the supplier to make a full evaluation. If we then don’t see any risk with the supplier, the evaluation will stop at this point
in the process. If the supplier is not able to satisfy the evaluation requirements of Sea Tank Chartering AS then we will proceed to the next step in the process.
Step 3: Create action plan and Step 4: Implement Actions
In these steps we will use the findings from Step 2 to create and implement an action plan to mitigate the risks identified. If necessary, external support will be involved in this step.
Step 5: Evaluate lessons learned
In this step we evaluate the learnings from the process and the action taken. In this step we will confirm that the actions have resolved the identified risks and the negative impact has been reduced. Lessons learned in this step will be implemented to future evaluations
