We work with tens of thousands of customers to make our products available to patients. Customers’ needs and expectations differ by market, depending on factors such as healthcare infrastructure, delivery systems, regulations, economic development and population. We strive to meet the needs of our customers regardless of the market type and aim to be their preferred partner.
Mylan relies on its suppliers to deliver high quality, affordable and accessible products to our customers and ultimately to patients. We have continued to build-out our Supplier Relationship Management program focusing on preferred suppliers to mitigate risk and enhance long term strategic partnerships. Our Supplier Relationship Management program aims to minimize risks by consolidating our supply base with preferred suppliers. Keeping good relationships helps not only to reduce risk and ensure a high quality and reliable supply but also helps us partner on our sustainability practices.
We expect our suppliers to act in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and Mylan's Supplier Code of Conduct which provides guidance for doing business with Mylan. The Supplier Code of Conduct provides guidance for doing business with Mylan and supports our efforts to inspire, engage in and foster better health for a better world. Further, it aims to enhance supplier relationships and helps mitigate supply chain risks. We are committed to continually working to improve our operations and expect our business partners to promote similar principles throughout their supply chain.
Mylan’s vision for sustainable sourcing is to identify, evaluate and select goods and services across the globe that are strategically aligned with Mylan’s commitment to social and environmental responsibilities by fostering long-term relationships with suppliers that embrace sustainability practices.
Mylan’s Council for Sustainable Sourcing holds members of Mylan’s sourcing leadership team as well as members from Global Environmental Health and Safety, Commercial and Global Social Responsibility organizations. This group:
- Provides guidance and direction for sustainable sourcing;
- Develops policy, practice and reporting of sustainable sourcing;
- Instills the culture of sustainable sourcing within sourcing teams;
- Sets annual sustainable sourcing goals and objectives;
- Develops, implements and monitors compliance of sustainable sourcing policies and metrics; and
- Continues to expand our focus on Green Procurement.
In 2019, the sourcing team executed on commitments to support Mylan’s larger GSR efforts by continuing to build-out our sustainable sourcing program focused on the following areas:
- Supplier Code of Conduct
- Source selection
- Partnerships and communication
- Supplier diversity
- Monitoring, reporting and continues improvements
Source selection is a key sourcing process to ensure vendors meet Mylan’s minimum standards for quality, cost and compliance. In 2019, we expanded our focus in this area to include:
- Implementing an enhanced practice to consider sustainability as part of the source selection process for direct materials. The new practice aims to verify that the supplier has established sustainability program and has set sustainability goals.
- Requiring vendor acknowledgement of Mylan’s Supplier Code of Conduct prior to new source selection or renewal of existing Supply Agreements for Direct Materials.
We also enhanced our standard Supply Agreement template to include sustainability language and clearer language on the right to request supporting documentation, the right to audit and implementation of corrective action plans as needed.
As part of our commitment to the AMR Industry Common Antibiotic Manufacturing Framework, we have notified our active antibiotic suppliers of our alignment with this Framework and expectations of our suppliers.
