Management of local suppliers
For ALUMINIUM S.A., the term “local supplier” refers to the Company’s suppliers and associates who are located in the geographical region within which the
Company pursues its business activity, and includes the Prefectures of Viotia, Fokida and Fthiotida.
The policy of ALUMINIUM S.A. is to purchase all its supplies from the Greek market where possible. To this end, the company takes care to ensure that the
procedures and practices it applies to select all its suppliers are characterised by transparency and meritocracy, and that it also transfers know-how to them.
The criteria that the Company uses to select its suppliers include product and service quality, customer service, the overall market status of each associate,
and the overall cost of use. During 2011 ALUMINIUM S.A. worked with a total of 260 local suppliers, with the Company’s outlays to these suppliers standing
at 29% of its total purchases budget. The Company's aim is to maintain this percentage at a stable 30% on an annual basis.
