Qualified suppliers in one of Achilles pre-qualification systems (Sellihca and TransQ) can apply for an audit. However, being audited may also be a requirement from the buying organisations.
During a two-day-program, an independent, qualified auditor from Achilles visits the supplier on-site to perform the audit. The audit is conducted in cooperation with supplier’s key personnel, such as the CEO and the responsible personnel within HR and HSE. The program follows Achilles Audit Protocol, which is established in conjunction with key stakeholders in the sector.
In short, the steps of being audited are:
- Contact with Achilles, at audit.nordic@achilles.com or +47 37 06 35 20.
- Achilles gives more information about how the audit is conducted, which sites needs to be visited and what kind of documentation is needed during the program.
- A two-day audit, which is conducted on-site by a Achilles auditor together with supplier’s key personnel.
- Achilles evaluates and verifies the results. Once approved for publication by the supplier, the audit report is made available through the web based portal to all the buying organisations in the sector.
