Useful information for our current and future suppliers

All our suppliers are required to uphold and sign the VELUX Code of Conduct regardless of whether they supply Products, Goods or Services and are subject to regular monitoring as well as spot checks. Signing up to the Code of Conduct requires that you, as a supplier have the responsibility to comply with the spirit and the contents of this document and any subsequent updates. It is the supplier’s responsibility to ensure they regularly review www.velux.com for updates to this document which will occur annually as a minimum. It is also the supplier’s responsibility to contact VELUX and raise any concerns regarding their ability to comply with the requirements of this document. Elements of this document’s requirements will be audited as an integral part of our scheduled auditing policy.

All suppliers of physical products and Goods or those who bring physical products into VELUX facilities (e.g. contractors with cleaning materials and chemicals) or are used in the presence of VELUX employees (e.g. leased facilities) must comply with the VELUX Restricted Substances Management Standard (VRSMS).

As a guide to our suppliers, we have published a set of Requirements, for suppliers to understand their responsibilities and our expectations to the relationship.

The Requirements for VELUX Suppliers (RVS) outlines our minimum expectations for our Suppliers. The purpose of this document is to communicate our general requirements to all suppliers in one document.

Included in the Requirements for VELUX Suppliers, we have outlined our Decarbonisation Policy towards suppliers. VELUX has set ambitious targets on reducing our carbon emission from our own operations (scope 1 & 2) as well as across our value chain (scope 3). We ask that our suppliers join us to make decarbonisation real and follow the expectations we have set. For the details related to carbon footprint calculations, we refer to the VELUX Guidance about supplier carbon footprint reporting.

To create a smooth onboarding, VELUX uses SAP Ariba for new suppliers. To learn more about our digital sourcing platform please go to our e-sourcing pages.
