DSV Procurement Guidelines

Objectives

Through collaboration with its suppliers, Dentsu Sports Vietnam aims to address industry-wide issues and to build a sustainable supply chain that contributes to the advancement of both our clients and society.

To that end, we have formulated the Dentsu Sports Vietnam Procurement Guidelines, which are conditions that each company in our supply chain must meet. Our procurement activities are open to both domestic and international parties, but our selection of suppliers is subject to compliance with the Dentsu Sports Vietnam Procurement Guidelines.

Dialogue with suppliers

We will deepen communication with suppliers through ongoing dialogue, and work to achieve mutual understanding regarding the guidelines and related operations.

Improvement, support, corrective measures

We will monitor our suppliers to ascertain their compliance with the Dentsu Sports Vietnam Procurement Guidelines. Based on that monitoring, we will confirm the specific state of activities at our suppliers and provide support for corrective and/or improvement measures as necessary.

If, even after providing such support, we find that a supplier still fails to comply with our guidelines, we will reconsider continuing to deal with the supplier.

Dentsu Sports Vietnam will conduct fair business activities, in accordance with the Dentsu Group Code of Conduct, as well as share these guidelines with its suppliers with a view to achieving sustainable growth.
