Through our membership in Ethical Trade Norway, Brav has since 2005 been committed to carrying out and reporting due diligence in our supply chain following UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the OECD model for Due Diligence for Responsible Business Conduct for mapping, preventing, limiting and documenting how we deal with existing and potential negative consequences of our activities. How we manage risk in our operations to reduce negative impact and comply with laws and regulations. While we create financially sustainable growth.

BRAV Due Diligence

We monitor and evaluate our suppliers integrating ESG as a part of the strategic fit, meaning that the suppliers should follow our goals and work towards improved ESG parameters. As illustrated here in our annual wheel, the monitoring and evaluation of suppliers is an ongoing process. Dealing with a global supply chain there are always potential risks of negative findings. To ensure that our business activities do not cause harm to people or the planet, we have measures in place to monitor, track, cease, prevent, or mitigate ESG risks.
