Building strong partnerships is essential for efficient and resilient value chain management. As our sector faces new challenges, it is becoming increasingly clear that strong relationships with our suppliers are crucial to ensuring the continuity, quality and safety of the products we offer every day to the millions of consumers who choose our stores.
We prioritise business relationships grounded in ethical, social and environmental principles1, thus mitigating the risks of shortcomings in product quality and availability, financial vulnerability throughout the supply chain, and business practices which are not aligned with our conduct standards.
Our approach considers suppliers as strategic partners. By strengthening these partnerships and ensuring they are in conformity with our sustainability principles, we also contribute to broader global goals. Our commitment to the United Nations 2030 Agenda is reflected in our efforts to promote more responsible supply chains.
1 These principles are set out in the Jerónimo Martins Group’s Sustainable Sourcing Policy, Supplier Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct, and Anti-Corruption Policy, available on our corporate website.
