Professionalism and full sharing of our principles and values are essential elements that we look for in our suppliers, with whom we are strongly committed to building lasting relationships – starting from the sharing of the Charter of Values and the Code of Conduct – with the aim of promoting collaboration and continuous improvement of quality standards, as well as environmental and social performance.

The selection of suppliers is based on a number of requirements:

• technical experience in development and production,
• adequate production capacity and compliance with environmental and occupational safety standards,
• location in countries with an efficient supply chain that ensures a constant supply of materials,
• geographical distribution to reduce country risk, particularly high in unstable geopolitical contexts,
• prices.

Once selected, we support suppliers in all phases of product realisation, promoting the sharing of knowledge and solving any critical issues that may arise.
