Our commitment to responsible purchasing

Our commitments

Signature of the Responsible Purchasing Charter

Continuing our efforts, in 2024 we were able to reach a base of 251 signatory partner suppliers, representing 50% of ADDEV Materials expenditure.
The aim is to achieve coverage of 85% by 2025.

In 2024, ADDEV Materials signed up to the Responsible Purchasing Charter. This commitment reflects our determination to promote ethical and sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. Our ultimate aim is to obtain the RFAR label, demonstrating our desire to strengthen our social responsibility and build relationships of trust with our business partners.

Our policy

In 2022, ADDEV Materials formalised its approach to Responsible Purchasing by drafting a new dedicated policy detailing its approach, commitments and expectations in terms of business ethics and the promotion of sustainable purchasing.

To make this policy more dynamic, the indicators will be re-evaluated and new monitoring indicators may be added each year. In 2024, the additional indicators will include the amounts spent with solidarity structures, indirect purchases made locally, and the percentage of buyers trained in responsible purchasing, thus completing the existing indicators.

ADDEV Materials's Responsible Purchasing policy must enable us to
ensure that a sustainable approach to purchasing is taken into account at all its sites, by sharing common values and objectives, both in the search for more environmentally-friendly solutions and products and in the adaptation of its processes, in order to integrate a set of CSR criteria into its sourcing activities and in the choice of its long-term partnerships.
