Rolls-Royce recognizes the importance of effective HS&E management within the global supply chain. We expect suppliers to implement appropriate HS&E management systems comparable with the requirements of ISO14001 and OHSAS 18001 and encourage them to gain third-party certification. In the past few years we have developed a significant programmers of engagement with, and support to, our suppliers. This has included:
• The provision of HS&E resource materials;
• Visits to selected suppliers in the UK, Bulgaria, Romania, China, Taiwan and Mexico; and
• Workshops in the UK and North America.
