Improvements in supply chain
management
In the second half of 2016, the "Equipo Por-
tal" was implemented to simplify the regis-
tration of Eldorado suppliers. Registration
involves the electronic analysis of a series of
documents from potential partners to dem-
onstrate their compliance with labor, human
rights and environmental legislation. Partners
may also access the Code of Conduct on the
portal, and sign the required commitment
term digitally.

ELDORADO BRASIL 2016 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 55
Flaper
Partners in the Eldorado supply
chain are fundamental for the exe-
cution of company strategy and for
its good performance on all busi-
ness fronts. Relations with these
partners are guided by appropriate
commercial practices, development
incentives, and compliance with
standards of ethics and integrity. In
2016, the Eldorado supplier base
consisted of some 1,500 companies
-including effective and potential
suppliers, broken down into the
categories of inputs and services
for the company's forestry, indus-
trial, logistics and transportation
areas.
Aware of the contribution that a
company of its size may make to
the region in which it operates,
since its foundation; Eldorado has
undertaken initiatives to develop
local companies with a view mak-
ing them commercial partners in
the future. In 2016, the company
contracted 172 suppliers based on
the positive impacts these partner-
ship generate for the community.
At the same time, Eldorado takes
care to minimize the risks of small
suppliers becoming economically
dependent, carrying out a pains-
taking analysis of each partner's
financial situation. A good example
is the PAIS (Integrated and Sustain-
able Agro-ecological Production)
program, a partnership between El-
dorado and Sebrae, which enabled
the production of organic foods
by smallholders in the region. In
2016, the company started buying
produce from this group of agricul-
tural producers (further information
about this initiative in the sub-
chapter Communities).
Aimed at reinforcing traceability in
its supply chain and ensuring com-
pliance with all legal requirements,
in 2016 Eldorado concluded the
distribution of its Code of Conduct
to its suppliers, who signed and
returned the term of commitment,
including a specific clause on the
non-use of child or slave labor.
Worth to remind that the
Ombudsman channel is also open
to suppliers.
All of the suppliers contracted
in 2016 were assessed based on
compliance with human rights and
labor criteria, as well as environ-
mental legislation. No significant
negative impacts were proven
after this process. Eldorado ter-
minated commercial partnerships
with only seven companies upon
discovering that they did not com-
ply with its requisite human rights
parameters.View entire presentation
