Environmental Performance: Suppliers

Bristol-Myers Squibb works with suppliers in an attempt to ensure the highest level of quality, expertise, experience, and fit with our operating culture. We expect our suppliers to comply with all legal and regulatory requirements, including environmental management. In addition, our major suppliers are encouraged to align their environmental management systems with the requirements of ISO 14001.

The company has developed an environmental, health, and safety questionnaire that may be sent to most third-party manufacturers and to a contractor or supplier if it falls into one of the following categories:

Sole source
Manufacturer of a strategic material
Manufacturer of a material to Bristol-Myers Squibb’s specifications
Referenced in a New Drug Application submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Based on the results of the questionnaire, we may conduct a site evaluation. EHS works closely with sourcing staff to determine the priorities for the site evaluation. The evaluation team will make recommendations and then develop and track an action plan for the contractor. The questionnaire or site visit may be repeated periodically, based on risk.
