Sustainable supply chains

贝克休斯是一个广泛的全球供应茶的一部分n, and we source materials from many countries around the world. In addition to managing our own corporate responsibility performance, we also have a desire to ensure that the suppliers we work with adhere to high standards. As a major equipment manufacturer and service provider, we have some influence, along with our peer companies, to help raise the standards of our whole industry. Our Supplier Integrity Guide governs all aspects of our relationships with suppliers, contractors, consortium partners, and consultants. Our Supplier Social Responsibility Program is intended to set standards and monitor compliance with high standards of HSE performance, ethics, compliance, and respect for human rights.

Our sustainable supply-chain framework consists of four core programs. As a part of the Supplier Social Responsibility Program, all our suppliers are screened and assessed for social risks. We ensure that integrity and compliance are a foundational element of our culture. Our suppliers are required to hold their own suppliers to equivalent standards. Our enterprise-wide global ethics and compliance program is designed to prevent, detect, and appropriately respond to any potential violations of the law or company policies, and this program applies to our suppliers. We will continue to enhance our supplier social responsibility frameworks in the coming year, through the addition of new programs addressing supply chain labor and emissions reporting.

We review our direct material suppliers to determine our Supplier Social Responsibility Program (SSRP) applicability through our common supplier onboarding process.

我们把我们的供应链的基于风险的方法auditing program to identify suppliers based on country risks, the supplier's past performance, and other factors. We look to continuously improve our risk profiling by further identifying additional risk factors, such as process risks, to include in our reviews. Additionally, pre-engagements and on-site periodic assessments follow an "Eyes Always Open" policy for our teams to be alert to potential violations during any supplier visit.

Suppliers identified as high-risk are subject to audit by our trained auditors. These auditors conduct on-site audits on a one- to five-year basis, using a global questionnaire and risk-weighting metrics. In 2020, due to the pandemic and restricted travel, we moved to desk-top audits with our suppliers to prevent disruption of the program. We intend to return to in-person audits when it is deemed safe to do so.

我们的供应商诚信指南专门禁止与人口贩运相关的活动，例如扣留护照，收取招聘费和误导招聘。我们的指南还对供应商施加了某些肯定义务，例如要求工人偿还运输成本，并以他们理解的语言为工人提供书面合同。该指南鼓励开放和直接报告。

All assessment findings from on-site audits are recorded in our automated assessment tracking tool. This tool monitors each assessment finding until it is closed, which occurs only after the supplier provides evidence that all noted findings have been corrected. Our target is close to 90% of audit findings within 90 days. New suppliers will not be issued purchase orders, and existing suppliers' purchase orders will be suspended, if findings remain open beyond this timeframe and no exception was provided. Business relationships will be suspended immediately in the case of serious labor-related findings.

We have 152 trained SSRP auditors with the opportunity for all employees to take SSRP Awareness training and Eyes Always Open training. Each one of our trained employees is empowered to raise concerns they may have on supplier expectations, human rights issues, and on-site due diligence requirements.

我们通过与供应商和其他利益相关者的合作和合作伙伴关系来取得更好的成果。与供应商，客户，政府，行业合作伙伴，学术机构和非政府组织合作，我们可以在人权方面取得整体进步，而不是任何一个部门可以单独实现。
