Our standards
SIBELCO conducts its business in accordance with the principles of sustainable development and complies with internationally recognized fundamental environmental, health and safety, labour and social standards.
These standards are critical to SIBELCO’s basis of conducting its own business and to any business transaction with others of which SIBELCO is a party.
- Health and Safety is a paramount concern for our company, deeply ingrained in our ethos and operations. We expect our suppliers to mirror this commitment, demonstrating the same level of diligence and adherence to health and safety standards in their activities.
- Sustainability: we understand that the sustainable future cannot be achieved without our suppliers and business partners. For that reason, Sibelco only works with suppliers and business partners who are committed to the same. By 2030, we aim to have 100% of suppliers and partners assessed and monitored on ESG criteria.

Suppliers are expected to continuously improve their environmental performance and reduce their environmental footprint. This includes adhering to all applicable laws and regulations regarding environmental practices.
