Motherson Purchasing Sustainability Guidance
Conflict Minerals Policy
Motherson is committed to adhering to the highest standards of ethical, moral and legal conduct in business operations. To maintain these standards, Motherson has formulated a global Supplier Code of Conduct that applies on a uniform basis across the entire supplier base.
The Motherson Supplier Code of Conduct is an integral part of each purchase order, although not listed there in its entirety. The complete version is available here below:
SQA is responsible for maintaining standards in supply – from the idea of developing a part to producing the last spare part. The service ranges from drawing up the specifications for potential suppliers to developing and supporting existing ones in order to ensure that both SMP and its customers´ quality and reliability requirements are met. In this area SMP uses the latest quality methods that have become the benchmark in the automotive industry. SQA therefore supports the suppliers in achieving the specified quality objectives.
The objective of SMP’s supply base management is to optimize the value added chain. By continuous intensification of supplier relations, restructuring purchasing processes and monitoring make-or-buy decisions, the specialist knowledge of all experts is fed into the system solution. All partners in the supply base contribute their product and process knowledge at the earliest possible stage. This achieves optimum coordination and enhances understanding of customer requirements.
PriSMa is a web-based platform with which SMP manages suppliers and handles procurement proccesses. As part of the SMP application, suppliers can make an unsolicited application (supplier self-registration) or an SMP purchaser can pre-register suppliers and ask the supplier to complete the registration (supplier pre-registration).
If you would like to apply as a supplier with initiative or if you are an existing supplier and do not yet have access to PriSMa, please go to https://prisma.mindeservices.com/astras/astras.R6/WFE/public/SMP/de/DE/-/login
