Our Responsible Purchasing Policy
The objective is to collaborate with those suppliers that work with the best practices in Corporate Social Responsibility and to this end, ACEBRON GROUP demands compliance with the laws and regulations applicable in the territories in which it operates and positively values compliance with the principles of the Global Compact, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the fundamental conventions of the I.T.O.
Values
PROFESSIONALISM
Concurrence of suppliers for the same purchasing process, so that the best possible response can be offered to the organisational unit making the purchase request. In the selection and contracting processes in competition ACEBRON GROUP ensures the diversification of offers among different suppliers.
INTEGRITY
Transparency in the selection of suppliers, which is materialised in the existence of a system of governance, a standardised process that regulates decision making in a staggered manner with the knowledge of all the levels involved. In order to guarantee mutual trust and competitiveness among suppliers, ACEBRON GROUP informs its suppliers of its current Purchasing Policy, as well as its supplier approval procedure, General Contracting Conditions and Supplier Code of Conduct, with due protection and confidentiality of the data available.
ACHIEVEMENT ORIENTATION
The search for efficiency is an imperative in business activity and in this sense, the contracting of goods and services shall be adjusted to the principles of necessity, suitability and austerity.
