The score recognizes Ontex’s continued efforts to work closely with suppliers on transparency, responsible sourcing and climate action across its value chain; a critical lever to reduce Scope 3 emissions. The recognition is supported by concrete actions and measurable progress. In 2025, 100% of Ontex’s raw material suppliers had signed the Supplier Code of Conduct, setting clear expectations on environmental, social and ethical standards, while supplier‑specific data now covers 64% of emissions from purchased goods and services, improving the accuracy of Scope 3 emissions reporting and enabling more targeted engagement with suppliers. In parallel, Ontex continues to strengthen its Supplier Due Diligence Program through ESG assessments and third‑party social audits for suppliers in higher‑risk categories. “This A score reflects the work we do every day with our suppliers to improve data quality, set clear expectations and address risks where they matter most,” said Marco Querzoli, Chief Supply Officer. “Supplier engagement is not about commitments alone – it’s about having the right processes, transparency and dialogue in place to make steady progress across the value chain.” The repeated recognition confirms that Ontex’s structured and practical approach to supplier engagement is supporting its broader climate and sustainability objectives.
