The Group Procurement Department has defined a new “Vendor Management” process for managing supplier assessment.
It follows a step-by-step process of registration, classification, qualification and rating of suppliers across the world.
 This is part of the online portal “EASY Supply” put in place at all subsidiaries.
For each business category a list of questions has been developed and submitted to all suppliers during their web registration.
A number of these criteria refer directly to the supplier company’s social and environmental approaches.
Italcementi Group is now committed to:
- increasing the number of suppliers involved
- giving the assessed suppliers a qualification status
- involving the suppliers in new tenders, on the basis of their ratings
- promoting its sustainable development policies and culture among suppliers, through an external campaign to keep suppliers informed of group activities in this field.
The Group's target is to have 20% of the corporate suppliers portfolio qualified through the "selection tools" by the end of 2009.
