Suppliers
We are committed to delivering value and quality service to our customers, and our suppliers must be capable of backing that commitment. Accordingly, we assess our suppliers’ performance on the basis of preset standards and criteria under the assumption that both parties will strive for continuous improvement.
We are convinced that a responsible and sustainable value chain is a competitive advantage for our suppliers and our organization alike.
Supplier purchasing process
We are committed to meeting the payment terms agreed with each supplier, paying special attention to our SME suppliers and local entrepreneurs to ensure they are paid no more than 30 days from receipt of invoice.
Supplier registration documents
It is in our best interest for our suppliers and contractors to be familiar with and share our values and manage their businesses in an ethical, lawful and socially responsible manner. We work hard every day to improve stakeholder engagement, workplace standards and environmental management and fight all forms of corruption.
Es por eso que publicamos nuestro Supplier Relationship Code, con el objetivo de dar a conocer un marco compartido respecto de los principios, mecanismos y dispositivos para establecer una adecuada relación de nuestros proveedores con la empresa.
The selection and hiring of suppliers and contractors is governed by guidelines and policies designed to meet applicable technical, tax, financial, legal, ethical, environmental, labor and social security requirements and comply with current laws and regulations wherever we operate.
To that end, we abide by a Code of Ethics and Conduct and have made a commitment to the sustainability of our suppliers, contractors, subcontractors and business partners.
