In response to the challenges facing the sector—including increased regulatory requirements in ESG matters and a rapidly evolving global market—Sando is working to build a robust and sustainable supply chain governance model.
Aligned with this ambition and as part of its 2025–2028 Sustainability Master Plan, Sando has joined the third edition of the “Sustainable Suppliers” programme, as a sponsoring company. This initiative is led by the UN Global Compact Spain, ICEX Spain Export and Investment and the ICO Foundation. This third edition has achieved record participation, with 5,200 SMEs from 72 countries registered thanks to the involvement of 48 large corporate sponsors.
Through this initiative, Sando offers its suppliers specialised training in Sustainability, enabling them to better understand new regulations and key topics in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) management. Participants gain exclusive access to online courses, live and pre-recorded sessions, practical guides, case studies from other companies, and tools for performance evaluation and progress tracking. Additional resources are also provided to support the preparation of regulatory documentation.
In its first year as a sponsoring company, Sando achieved participation from 6% of its target supply chain—namely, its strategic suppliers—reflecting the company’s commitment to building a more sustainable value chain. This commitment aligns with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs 12, 9 and 17) and supports the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, to which Sando is a signatory.
Sando’s 2025–2028 Sustainability Master Plan is the company’s ESG roadmap for the coming years. It acts as a lever to advance a more sustainable business model in which the supply chain plays a central role in achieving strategic goals.
To this end, the plan includes a strategic line dedicated to responsible value chain management, which encompasses a range of actions aimed at:
Aligning suppliers and subcontractors with business objectives
Improving the sustainable sourcing model
Becoming a strategic partner for public bodies and institutions in the sustainable transition of the construction sector’s supply chain
Sando’s participation in the programme is part of this strategy and is driven by a threefold objective:
Competitiveness – by equipping its partners to face future challenges.
Supplier value creation – by providing free, high-quality, and recognised sustainability training
Purpose – by promoting the adoption of sustainable practices by sector companies that contribute to economic and social development while reducing environmental impact
Don’t miss anything.
