Committed suppliers and subcontractors

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.
Sustainable relationships
Eiffage works with healthy companies, minimising reciprocal exposure to financial or technical dependencies that could adversely affect its business.
Eiffage promotes long-term relationships with its suppliers and subcontractors, whenever possible favouring multi-year contracts that allow it to build partnerships based on economic performance and to address environmental and social issues.
Eiffage manages its relationships with suppliers using an SRM tool that contains information on contracts, expenditure, assessments, relationship type, financial risk level and compliance.
