Our policies require that Hydro’s suppliers meet certain standards regarding
- quality
- health
- safety and environment
- financial sustainability
- corporate social responsibility, including human rights, anti-corruption and working conditions.
More information about HSE requirements and corporate social responsibility policies are available on the Policies and tools page (see link at right).
Compliance with the required standards must be documented in the qualification documents and contracts.
