The Value of Supply Chain Sustainability
Tools and indicators for supplier and third-party performance are evolving fast. Businesses at the top tiers of electronics and high-tech manufacturing are increasingly scrutinized by customers and stakeholders regarding environmental, labor & human rights, as well as ethical issues in their supply chains. Companies with a proactive approach are not only mitigating business risks, but they are increasing opportunities.

Current Clients In Industry
Atlinks is principally engaged in home and office telecommunication product designing. Their customers include large consumers retail chain stores, telecom operators and distributors mainly located in Europe and Latin America.

Back in 2012, one first-tier telecom operator customer requested us to fill in the questionnaire as a supplier and then a second one. We soon saw the benefits of joining the EcoVadis program. It is a very well-known platform for CSR evaluation and other customers were also asking to see our assessment. Plus the fact that we got good results encouraged us to communicate this more widely to our customers.
Sustainability assessments are now part of our management system and are planned at the end of the yearly cycle of activities, programs, training, audits, awareness and reviews. This has also proved very useful for our IPO because the Hong Kong Exchange market is very demanding when it comes to sustainability. We had a number of initiatives in place before but EcoVadis helped us structure them and create value for our customers.

We at procurement have to help our sales organization with bids to our customers or clients or potential clients. Certainly, we've seen recently that more clients are asking for a sustainability criteria or even an EcoVadis score within the bid package that we're putting back. In the UK, we won a public sector bid. The difference was the fact that we had a CSR score and a sustainability program that we could reference and that they recognized.
