How Leica Geosystems selects suppliers:
When choosing suppliers, the overall competitiveness of the supplier’s offering is the most decisive factor. However, particular preference is given to suppliers that are leaders in environmental and social performance and who live up to our policies and goals.
A new potential supplier fills out the "Supplier Self Description" and the "Vendor Master Form".
Then Leica Geosystems makes an assessment of the suitable supplier’s financial aspects, commercial terms and conditions, and evaluates also its management, competencies and technologies, process management, logistics, investment in continuous improvement and cooperation with Leica Geosystems. On demand a formal audit is carried out before entering a business relationship.
