Assessing our suppliers
In order to verify all requirements, all of our suppliers are subjected to a prior assessment and pre-selection process first and then to a qualification process. Amongst the many aspects, when they apply, suppliers and subcontractors must undertake to comply with Edison’s fundamental principles and values, read and accept the 231 Model and the Code of Ethics.

The Charter of ethical principles
The Charter of Ethical Principles is a tool designed for the SME sector, with particular focus on companies within the supply chains of larger corporations. These companies can use it as a foundation for developing their own corporate code of ethics.
The aim of this tool, which incorporates ESG elements now widely recognized as part of corporate responsibility, is to help spread a culture of integrity, merging ethics with responsible and proper behavior.
The tool was developed in 2022 by a group of companies from the Business Integrity Forum of Transparency International, including Edison, which contributed to updating the original version of the document first released in 2017.
