Committed suppliers and subcontractors
At Eiffage, the same ethical values and rules apply to our suppliers and subcontractors as to our employees. These include integrity, fairness, and respect for the rights and obligations of all, and also require economic involvement at grassroots level, along with support for employment and access to employment.
Committed suppliers and subcontractors
Eiffage works with accredited suppliers and subcontractors that respect Eiffage’s values and commitments. Framework contracts require our suppliers to adhere to the principles of the UN Global Compact.
Eiffage wishes to prioritise suppliers and subcontractors that share its environmental and social concerns, especially those taking action to reduce their environmental footprint and protect biodiversity, and those tackling disability and access to employment.
