JCDecaux conducts business ethically and sustainably. So we develop long-term relationships with our suppliers and ensure that our employees and suppliers are made aware of the Group's environmental and social challenges across all regions, through the implementation of training courses, support, and annual assessments.
Our ambitions are to develop more responsible practices with our suppliers, improve the social and environmental footprint of our value chain by ensuring compliance with the Group’s values and Charters while guaranteeing our strategic objectives set. To do that we have gradually included social and environmental criteria in the selection and assessment of suppliers.
This approach enables the Group to control risks, strengthen relationships with its suppliers.
Six major actions frame our commitment to support our suppliers in the improvement of their environmental and social footprint:
- Encourage regional and local sourcing
- Select our suppliers according to the process established by the Purchasing Department
- Strengthen our responsible purchasing policy
- Assess our key suppliers annually
- Train our buyers
- Prevent risks related to the supply chain
