La mise en œuvre de ces normes en termes de performance des fournisseurs est importante pour nous, et nous attendons de nos fournisseurs et partenaires commerciaux qu’ils communiquent ces attentes tout au long de leur chaîne d’approvisionnement en adoptant des systèmes de gestion, des politiques, des procédures et une formation efficaces pour respecter les normes et les attentes énoncées dans ce code de conduite des fournisseurs au sein de leurs opérations commerciales. Santé et sécurité • Mettre en œuvre des processus et procédures appropriés pour garantir que la santé et la sécurité humaines sont à l’avant-garde de vos actions.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; • The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; • Disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; • Changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; • Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; • Demand for our products and services; • Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; • Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; • Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; • Information systems failures and cyberattacks; • Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; • Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA; • Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions; and • Other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-routine costs.

Whether used for vascular procedures, intravenous short- or long-term medical care, indwelling or intermittent urinary management, or other specialty uses, a catheter’s design requires precision.

Test Procedure

This reduction in energy consumption can not only cut costs, but it can also lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. Cost / Value Conundrum: The preform manufacturer often incurs the cost of a process aid while the blow molder realizes the benefits.  Increased Efficiencies at the Blower: By specifying these process aids, brands can help bottle blowers achieve higher efficiencies, reducing production costs and improving overall sustainability.

For instance, bath-dyeing and piece-dyeing solutions can achieve deep black shades, but they typically require multiple passes, which can increase costs. Achieving good lightfastness and washing fastnesses, which are critical requirements for automotive textiles and sportswear, is also challenging without increasing costs.   The concentrates can be tailored to achieve the desired level of jetness while also taking into account other considerations such as lot-to-lot consistency, cost, and formulation transfer to different regions and technologies.
