Policies and processes
Gabriel’s sustainability policy covers responsible handling
and use of water resources. The policy is laid down and
approved by Gabriel’s CEO. It supports Gabriel’s overall
sustainability strategy and is anchored in the company’s management system. This consists of processes for
managing impacts, risks and opportunities related to
water resources in the value chain.
The policy’s objective is to minimise identified negative
impacts and risks from water use and to pursue the opportunities for reducing environmental impact and water
use. This includes monitoring water consumption, assessing local water-related risks and working with suppliers
to reduce water consumption in areas at risk.
Gabriel requires responsible water management from its
suppliers through the Supplier Code of Conduct, which
specifies requirements for water consumption monitoring, pollution prevention and assessment of impacts on
local water resources. Suppliers must comply with applicable law, international guidelines and ethical standards, including the UN Global Compact.
