Sustainable supplier management
Sustainability is integral to our relationships with suppliers. Our manufacturing units each emphasise sustainable and, when possible, local sourcing of raw materials and components based on availability. Supplier audits also play a vital role in Halton’s sustainability practice. We conduct supplier audits based on the environmental and social criteria of ISO 9001, ensuring adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct and relevant labour laws. We prioritise ISO 14001 compliant suppliers.

Economic value distributed to the stakeholders
In 2024, Halton showed steady growth across all regions, particularly in the Middle East and Asia. The company’s service sector expanded significantly, mainly due to the successful development of Nelbud Services Inc. The business’s gross margin improved as supplier purchases increased at a slower rate than revenue. During the same year, Halton continued to prioritise research and product development, investing EUR 5.7 million, 1.9% of turnover, primarily in Europe and the United States.

Corruption Perception Index
At Halton one of our focus areas is the scrutiny of corruption and bribery. As a multinational corporation, it is imperative for us to consistently assess the economic landscapes of numerous nations. A pivotal aspect of our anti-corruption framework involves gauging the corruption vulnerabilities inherent in each country, utilising data sourced from Transparency International’s (TI) annual Corruption Perceptions Index.
