SWEP sustainability report 2019

• Material standards, design requirements, process control and quality management – We work alongside suppliers to ensure that the raw materials and parts they deliver meet our high standards. This guarantees that the products we deliver to our customers are resilient and will provide efficiency benefits throughout their lifetimes. It also helps to reduce unnecessary waste. – By following these EU directives and regulations our suppliers demonstrate that they handle chemical substances safely and with consideration of the impact on human health and the environment. – In addition to EU regulations and directives, we insist that our suppliers use Material Safety Data Sheets when working with hazardous chemicals • Compliance with Dodd-Frank Act, Conflict Minerals • Compliance with REACH and ROHS • MSDS for chemicals – For suppliers who work with conflict minerals (such as tin, tungsten, tantalum, gold and their ores and derivatives), we demand that due diligence is undertaken to ensure that such materials are sourced ethically and sustainably, in compliance with the US Dodd- Frank Act, Section 1502

• Compliance with safety regulations (e.g. CE marking in Europe) – All manufactured products we receive must be marked with the European CE marking or equivalent. This ensures that any parts that we use are safe and environmentally friendly. – These are important safety standards for the use of pressure equipment. By insisting that our suppliers have this certification, where applicable, we protect workers in our supply chain from unnecessary safety risks. • The Dover Corporation Supplier Code of Conduct – In addition to the demands that SWEP make of our suppliers, we also insist on compliance with the code of conduct of our parent company, Dover. This covers areas such as complying with local and international laws, maintaining a fair and safe workplace, and committing to conserve natural resources and reduce waste. • PED and ASME certification
