4. Supplier Assessment and Due Diligence

Sustainability criteria form part of supplier evaluation and selection processes:

• ESG-related policies and certifications
• Evidence of environmental performance metrics
• Labour and human rights compliance documentation
• Governance and compliance frameworks

For warehouse-related suppliers and contractors, additional evaluation criteria may include:

• HSE certifications (e.g., ISO 45001 or equivalent)
• Evidence of safe transport and handling procedures
• Equipment maintenance records
• Environmental compliance documentation for waste disposal and hazardous material handling.

Supplier performance may be periodically reviewed. Sustainability and HSE performance may influence contract award decisions and supplier retention.

5. Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

Best Pick Energy implements monitoring mechanisms including supplier audits, ESG assessments, and performance reviews. Warehouse facilities are subject to periodic environmental and safety inspections.

6. Supplier Compliance and Enforcement

Where a supplier does not meet Best Pick Energy’s standards, Best Pick Energy’s will engage constructively to address gaps and may require the implementation of corrective action plans within defined timeframes.`

For critical procurement categories, Best Pick Energy reserves the right to assess alternative suppliers where material sustainability or compliance risks are identified.
