Supplier Management
Handa Enterprise (Myanmar) Co.,Ltd.has always focused on cooperative relationship with suppliers. During the process of choosing and auditing suppliers, we focus on the suppliers’ overall qualities and their corporate social responsibilities. HandaEnterprise（Myanmar）Co.,Ltd.brings supplier's social responsibility into Supplier Management, making sure suppliers understand BSCI standards and follow accordingly. By dong so, we will also help to improve suppliers’ management and look for a long-term cooperation relationship.
The company manages suppliers by the procurement department. Procurement department conducts audits based on the supplier's social performance status or documentation, only companies that are judged as conditionally acceptable by the on-site audit can become qualified suppliers.
Procurement Department establishes social-responsibility files for suppliers and subcontractors and maintains evidence and records of suppliers’ and subcontractors’ assessment results and improvement measures. All suppliers and subcontractors should sign a social responsibility letter before getting an order or contract, promising to comply with local labor laws and social responsibility standards, and are willing to accept the company's on-site audit.
In terms of supplier selection,Handa Enterprise (Myanmar) Co.,Ltd.conducts quality assessment, social responsibility assessment and second-party audit on the suppliers and subcontractors. Qualified suppliers would be reasonably regulated. The supply chain department would arrange an on-site audit at least once a year, to assess the social responsibility performance and action plan improvement of suppliers and subcontractors with records. Once the supplier or subcontractor are found to use child laborers, prisoners, forced labors, or violate BSCI standardsduring on-site audits, all Handa Enterprise’s departments would be informed to stop partnership with such supplier or subcontractor.
The company regularly looks into the business relationship between subcontractors and their sub-suppliers, to prevent its sub-suppliers from seriously violating standards, such as the using child laborers, prisoners, forced laborers, and discrimination. The new subcontractor must accept the on-site audit before accepting the order. Only if the on-site audit result is accepted or conditionally accepted, can our company establish a business relationship with the subcontractor.
Suppliers who refuse on-site audits will not be considered. For suppliers that have obtained certifications such as BSCI, and are evaluated and accepted by internationally recognized customers, the company is free to check its social responsibility status. However, relevant certificates or assessment reports must be collected. If there are no bad records for on-site audits for three consecutive years, the audit cycle may be extended appropriately.
For finished goods’ storage and delivery which are from suppliers and subcontractors, the product's product name, category, quality and quantity must be strictly controlled, and the merchandiser must make sure that the country of origin records are correct. When there are errors in product quality, quantity, and identification, coordinate with suppliers and subcontractors to solve problems immediately.

Product quality and safety are the foundation for the company's survival and development. For that reason, we have established a complete quality management system. From the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of finished products, every activity is strictly controlled with high access standards.Materials that do not meet quality and safety standards will never be stored, unqualified products will never be sent.
