Tibber supply chains
Who are our suppliers?
Energy suppliers
The suppliers that deliver the electricity we sell to customers and other suppliers related to our energy deals.
Hardware suppliers
The suppliers of all the products we sell in the Tibber Store and the ones that help us manufacture our very own products – like the Tibber Pulse.
Logistics suppliers
The products we sell are stored in rented warehouses and are transported from the warehouse to our customer's homes.
Consultants
From time to time we get useful assistance from external experts on PR, marketing, law, finance and other important stuff.
Suppliers of office equipment
The suppliers of everything we need in everyday life at the office. The offices we rent, food, tasty snacks (yum), furniture, computers, software and even servers to store data.
Travels
Sometimes it’s nice to see each other in real life. Since we have six offices in five countries, traveling happens from time to time – booking tickets for flight, train, bus and hotels.
How we work with suppliers
Our goal is to map and reduce the risk of violations of human rights and good working conditions in Tibber’s supply chain. Here is our five step process.
Pre-screening
Given our influence and current resources, we will work systematically and closely with selected suppliers, to make sure our efforts are used wisely and where most needed. In this phase we're asking ourselves two questions;
Where do we believe the risk of human right violations is the highest?
Where do we have the most influence to make an impact?
Based on these questions, we are starting with hardware suppliers delivering products to Tibber Store, where our yearly spend exceeds 1 million NOK. Over the next few years we will gradually increase the scope to include more and more suppliers.
Risk assessment
We’re collaborating with a third party service to conduct a risk assessment of our suppliers. It includes a self-assessment questionnaire with questions aligned with the OECD guidelines, covering geographic risk, product risk and industry risk, and is tailored to identify the risk of violations of human rights and good working conditions.
Risk reduction
Based on the identified risks, we ask our suppliers to provide more information and/or implement changes to reduce specific areas of risk. Examples could be asking them to improve the use of protective equipment for employees, or asking them to form a code of conduct with specific standards for CSR and promote this to their employees and suppliers. If we still identify high risk or have reason to be suspicious about a certain supplier we will strongly consider making a physical audit to the production facilities..
Handling potential breaches or violations
If we discover incidents or conditions that violate human rights and decent working conditions or other non-acceptable conditions, we will take appropriate measures that are followed up and evaluated. The measures include both resolving the situation that has been uncovered and reducing the risk of such situations occurring again.
