supplier code of conduct

 

Introduction

Symposium Cracoviense Sp. z o.o.  - we are a professional congress organizer, operating on the Polish market for more than 25 years.  We believe that the organization of events can and should play a key role in building a better future, both for our industry and for the environment.
Our sustainability policy focuses on three main pillars: the environment, society and responsible organization and management. We strive to achieve harmony between these areas so that our events are not only successful in business terms, but also socially and environmentally sustainable.
This Supplier Code of Conduct is an expression of our determination to conduct business in the meetings industry in a responsible and sustainable manner. The Code is a set of minimum requirements for the conduct of Suppliers of goods and services, taking into account our company values and the principles of social responsibility and sustainability.

Verification and monitoring

Collaboration with suppliers

Exploring new horizons in sustainable events is not only an idea for us, but also a mission. We strive to introduce innovative solutions that minimize our negative impact on the environment, while inspiring others to take similar action. We want to promote environmental awareness in our industry and involve both participants and business partners in creating events with a positive environmental impact.
We want suppliers to be honest, conscientious and responsible in their actions and to take responsibility for the entire supply chain. We encourage suppliers to set goals and take action with ESG values in mind.
