サプライチェーンの責任
私たちのコミットメント
ニールセンの良き企業市民と持続可能性へのコミットメントは、サプライチェーンにも及び、購買による環境、社会、ガバナンス（ESG）、倫理的影響を管理しています。ニールセンは、購買活動が市場の強力な力であることを認識しており、責任ある持続可能な購買活動に取り組んでいます。
As a global company, we have a unique and powerful platform to impact our world for the better. Like the immense purchasing power of individual consumers, we know that our institutional spend of over $2 billion can be a demand signal in the marketplace. We intentionally leverage our spend to drive our business performance and to help:
誠実さと透明性
サプライチェーンの完全性と透明性をグローバルに向上させる。
労働条件
海外の工場で、より公正で人道的な労働条件を実現する。
コミュニティ・ビジネス
地域社会の多様な経営者や地元企業を支援する
リソース
地球の資源への負荷を軽減する
経営課題
社会的・環境的課題に取り組みながら、ビジネス上の課題を解決できる革新的な製品オプションを市場に提供する。
サプライチェーンへの影響を理解する
Managing our supply chain’s ESG impacts begins with an understanding of the effects, both positive and negative, of our purchasing. In 2016, the first year of our program, we conducted a supply chain sustainability analysis to identify and uncover major sustainability risks and opportunities in our supply chain and to create strategies that address them. As a result, we understand our major supply chain impacts to be as follows, and we are addressing them accordingly within our own function and across functions at Nielsen.
環境への影響
エネルギー使用／温室効果ガス排出は、サプライチェーンの技術部門と旅行部門に影響する。
社会的インパクト
サプライチェーンの製造委託部門に関する人権リスク。
悪影響の減少
私たちのサプライチェーンの一部は、その業界や地理的な位置により、私たちの社会的・倫理的基準に対して特別なリスクをもたらす可能性があります。
Human Rights in Nielsen’s Supply Chain – The greatest human rights risk in the Nielsen supply chain is with our contract electronics manufacturers. Through our social compliance program, we work with the Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in this area to assess and engage them on their human rights practices, particularly trafficking and modern slavery. Our UK Modern Slavery statement describes our efforts to mitigate the risk of modern slavery and forced labor in our supply chain.
Conflict Minerals – Nielsen is exposed to issues relating to the extraction and use of conflict minerals which may be used to finance militia operations or as a means to utilize forced labor. These minerals—Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten, and Gold or 3TG—are common components in electronics manufacture, and as such, Nielsen is exposed to the risk of sourcing conflict minerals. To mitigate this risk, Nielsen is a member of the Responsible Minerals Initiative, the primary multi-stakeholder collaboration addressing ethical raw mineral sourcing. We also conduct due diligence and publicly report on the smelters in our supply chain in our Conflict Minerals disclosure according to the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
ポジティブな影響の拡大
プロフェッショナル・サービス企業として、間接的な支出はサプライチェーンへの影響の大半を占めています。私たちは、その支出によるプラスの影響を増大させる方法を数多く特定しています。
ビジネス・パートナーシップ – Our ビジネス・パートナーシップ initiatives connect us with a variety of businesses that are the driving economic forces of the future.
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing – Wherever possible, our global Sourcing organization identifies options at the product/service level to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve natural resources, and reduce waste. Learn more about our policy.
Impact Sourcing – Nielsen is a founding member of the Global Impact Sourcing Coalition, a coalition of multinational corporations and suppliers committed to employing corporate procurement as an innovative means to address global poverty and economic inclusion.
Multi-stakeholder Collaborations – To create industry change and impact beyond our own supply chain, we’ve joined our efforts and our purchasing power with like-minded corporate peers as described further below.
Education and Awareness-Raising – We understand that the cumulative purchasing decisions of institutional buyers make change happen and that training and resources enable and empower those decisions. Nielsen provides education and awareness-raising efforts internally and externally to increase the awareness and practice of sustainable purchasing. We also have institutional links with DePaul University and the Illinois Institute of Technology for project-based, graduate-level internships to develop future supply chain sustainability professionals.
アプローチ
私たちのアプローチはシンプルです：私たちはサプライ・チェーンと購買決定を管理し、環境、社会、ガバナンス／倫理に与えるプラスの影響を増大させる一方で、マイナスの影響を減少させます。
方針と業務プロセス
当社の調達および契約プロセスにはESG基準が含まれています。サプライヤーには、ニールセンとの契約期間中、持続可能性に関する会社レベルの情報を提供することで、同様のコミットメントを示すことを求めています。
Procurement practices – We specifically solicit sustainability information during supplier registration and the RFP process; this information is included as selection criteria along with our other requirements for quality, delivery, service and cost. Additionally, we use a formal, principle-based Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Policy to guide purchasing decisions at the product/service level.
Contractual requirements – Since January 2015, our standard contract terms obligate suppliers to abide by the ニールセン サプライヤー行動規範. In 2016, we updated our Supplier Code based on a widely used industry standard, the Responsible Business Alliance. The code addresses the following areas: Labor (specifically Human Rights), Health and Safety, Environmental Management, Ethics, and Management Systems.
サプライヤー・エンゲージメント
ESG課題に焦点を当てながら、年に複数回、主要サプライヤーと意見交換を行っています。
Measurement and Disclosure – Once a key supplier enters our supply chain, we require a standardized supplier assessment on ESG performance (provided by a third party) which benchmarks our suppliers according to their industry, size and country/countries of operation, along with ESG updates during regular business reviews. The assessments and regular business reviews serve as catalysts for meaningful supplier engagement.
Continuous Improvement – Through meaningful supplier engagement, we ensure visibility into ESG risks and opportunities and drive higher standards. Our sourcing managers engage with our suppliers with the goal of quantitatively improving sustainability performance at both the supplier and product/service level.
Capacity Building – We’ve developed a Supplier Toolkit as a resource for our suppliers to improve their sustainability performance. The Supplier Toolkit includes guidance for developing social, ethical, and environmental policies, practices and reporting. Additionally, the toolkit includes a comprehensive list of 150 performance indicators that suppliers can use to track ESG performance.
マルチステークホルダー・コラボレーション
We understand the challenges faced in responsible sourcing are far-reaching and best addressed in multi-stakeholder collaborations with other corporations and brands, non-profit organizations and academia, the investor community and suppliers.
In 2016, we joined the following leadership organizations in sustainable purchasing: the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council; その Responsible Business Alliance; the Global Impact Sourcing Coalition; the Responsible Minerals Initiative; and the Technical Advisory Group/Mirror Committee to the ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement Standard. Through these associations, Nielsen is not just aligning with global best practices, but helping shape them.
