Suppliers
To cover our requirements, we are in a continual search for efficient and experienced suppliers. With our suppliers we always try to establish long-term relations in order to get mutual benefits. Our suppliers must be ready to improve performance steadily and we expect fair play, accountability, reliability and ethical responsibility from them. The Purchasing Department is requested to make strong efforts to achieve the operating margin through a careful rationalization of suppliers and consequent cost reduction. To this end, we have set up a complex system for the proactive assessment and growth of our strategic suppliers (“Supplier Management”).
