Responsible Sourcing & Sustainability
We are committed to responsible sourcing and continuously seek opportunities to improve our procurement procedures and expand the portfolio of businesses we work with.
Supplier Qualification and Auditing
Benjamin Moore maintains a robust supplier auditing program focused on financial stability, supply risk, reputation, safety, quality, and corporate social responsibility. All key suppliers receive an initial audit before first use and are periodically selected for audit based on a risk analysis that encompasses the criteria above, among others. Audit findings are reviewed with the supplier at a closeout meeting. Areas for improvement are noted, and a corrective action plan is implemented if necessary.
Plans are reviewed at least quarterly until corrective actions are complete. If an audit finding is high risk and cannot be corrected to Benjamin Moore’s satisfaction, we begin the process of moving that business to a new supplier or putting preventive actions in place to mitigate risk.

We also comply with Berkshire's Conflict Minerals Policy Statement.
