The relationship with this public is guided by the Code of Ethics and Conduct (see Ethics and integrity) and goals are established in the Master Sustainability Plan (see Master sustainability plan).

Business partners are subject to risk assessments that include monthly monitoring of performance indicators, face-to-face audits at contractor companies’ plants and the periodic assessment of environmental impact surveys.
