The process for registering as an RD Saúde commercial partner includes six stages, as outlined below:

1. Commercial Interest: This stage begins when one of RD Saúde’s business areas initiates a request to evaluate a commercial partner or a BID process (procurement process with multiple commercial partners).
2. Registration of Commercial Partner: At this stage, the company accesses the commercial partner management platform to complete their registration details, respond to compliance questionnaires, and agree to RD Saúde’s commitments. a. Registration in the Commercial Partner Approval Systems: This step is completed by the commercial partner. b. Completion of the ESG Questionnaire: This step is completed by the commercial partner. c. Completion of Compliance Questionnaires and Acceptance of RD Saúde’s Commitment Terms: This step is completed by the commercial partner.
3. Classification and Evaluation: Commercial partners are classified into critical and non-critical categories and evaluated according to social, environmental, and governance practices by the RD Saúde Commercial Partner Governance team.
4. Onboarding Training: In this phase, the commercial partner undergoes Distance Learning (EAD) training to understand RD Saúde’s expectations and commitments. This step is completed by the commercial partner.
5. On-Site Audit: Depending on the company’s segment, the RD Saúde Commercial Partner Governance team will conduct an on-site audit focusing on socio-environmental and governance practices before proceeding with the registration process.
6. Completion of Registration: After completing all the previous steps, the commercial partner is registered in our system and becomes eligible to start a commercial relationship with RD Saúde.
