Responsible procurement organisation

Procurement is becoming more and more complex due to the increasing integration of ecological and social factors in the value creation process. As a result, procurement has become a key function in sustainable business operations.

Our procurement organisation processes are certified by the German Association of Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics (BME).
