Code of conduct

To ensure a reliable supply and improve competitive advantages in the entire supply chain through:

• continuous improvement of supplied goods and quality of service,
• streamlining of the supply costs,
• efficient logistics,
• supply risk management.

From our suppliers we expect competitiveness, reliability, developmental orientation and partnership, which is based upon:

• »Do it right the first time« - planning, knowledge, competence and responsiveness,
• »Do it right every time« - excellence and reliability,
• »Continuous improvement« - development orientation, enhancement of competitiveness, partnership.

The suppliers’ commitment to supply products in compliance with the quality requirements has to be ensured by a modern and efficient quality management system, which includes the principle "zero nonconformity" in the development, production and all other processes. The emphasis has to be on preventive methods and not on methods of detection of nonconformities.

SEP requires suppliers to establish, implement and certify the quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 or the recommended standard IATF 16949. If the supplier does not have the correct certificate, he must obtain the consent of SEP
