Suppliers
In 2021, two actions strengthened the company's responsibility for this link in
the value chain. In order to ensure conduct in line with Viveo's values, the Term
of Ethical Compliance was elaborated and shared with suppliers, in which the
company reaffirms that all agents involved in the business are aligned with its
precepts of compliance, respecting standards of integrity and contributing to
the fight against corruption. On another front, a working group dedicated to
the topic was implemented, supported by a specialized consulting firm for the
improvement of policies and practices along the value chain. Among the main
activities carried out by the group in 2021 is the elaboration of a socio-environ-
mental and market risk matrix related to suppliers, which serves to guide priority
actions.
Certified cotton
In 2021, Viveo became a signatory to The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI),
A multi-sectoral governance group that promotes improvements in the
supply chain, especially in plume cotton cultivation practices and social
aspects of the production chain, such as labor rights, gender equality
and the prevention of slave and child labor. With this, the company only
purchases 100% plume cotton from BCI certified farms for use in the
production of health and hygiene products.
