Collaboration with suppliers is a strategic element for the creation of shared value, supported by a qualification system that monitors the level of ESG maturity along the value chain.
We select our partners also taking into account their sustainability profile, recognising the importance of certified management systems and taking the strictest environmental and social standards as our benchmark. We give priority to selecting our suppliers with the economically most advantageous offer method, integrating environmental and social assessments with economic ones, and we intend to support them in improving their sustainability performance. This commitment underlines our determination to contribute to responsible and sustainable growth throughout the supply chain.
