ERCO’s relationship with our suppliers is critical to the success of our business. When selecting and assessing suppliers, we look for business partners that conduct their business in a manner similar to our own with a commitment to high ethical standards, safe and healthy working environments, protecting human rights, preserving the environment, and regulatory compliance. Our team is always seeking innovation and value in ever-smarter ways. We call this approach $MART BUY!

Health & Safety

At ERCO, safety really does come first. We talk about safety and people before finances, and we start all team meetings with a safety discussion.

This is why we are proud to demonstrate our safety leadership by sharing a database of safety moments with our existing and prospective suppliers. We encourage you to build a strong safety culture within your organization, and to work with us towards zero safety incidents.

Supplier Recognition

At ERCO, we like to see our suppliers doing the right thing and we strive to recognize safe work and business excellence. That is why we encourage our employees to recognize our suppliers on a day-to-day basis.

If you have received an email with our supplier recognition form – congratulations! It means that one of our employees, voluntarily, took time to appreciate the work that you do. We value working with you!

Supplier Sustainability

ERCO suppliers must demonstrate a commitment to high ethical standards, safe and healthy working environments, protection of human rights, preservation of the environment, and regulatory compliance. Our supplier code of conduct outlines our expectations for safe, responsible and ethical management, including caring for workers, our communities and the environment. We require all suppliers to live by this code.

To gain visibility into our supply base, ERCO requires each supplier to complete a qualification form to provide information about their activities, processes, and polices. ERCO uses this information to understand supply risks and opportunities for improvement, in support of our own Quality and Responsible Care® programs.
