Ethics & Purchasing

We believe that environmental, social and governmental risks must be incorporated into the company’s decision-making process in order to improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase employees’ stability and preserve the company’s capacity to operate over the long term. The main areas of reflection concern the objective of establishing long-term trust with operational teams, based on transparency, independence and business ethics, by respecting the law and the company’s values.
