WORKING WITH OUR SUPPLIERS

We work in an increasingly complex global arena, where establishing a network of lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with qualified contractual partners is crucial to maintaining consistently high standards ofproducts and services quality, which in turn ensures a competitive advantage for the Group.

Our main contractual partners are service providers linked to our core business, plus a smaller number of goods suppliers and providers of support services (such as cleaning, maintenance, transport, etc.).

For Generali, developing relationships is a strategic goal; both with local and national suppliers that can provide goods and/or services and support the Group to meet specific local needs and with international and global suppliers that can help us to compete in the international market, by offering products and services that create a long-term competitive advantage in terms of cost and quality.

For both local and global supplies, we select and use the most reliable suppliers and those that enable us to limit the impact of our business activities on the environment along the entire supply chain. To this end, we favor suppliers that have social responsibility policies and apply an eco-friendly approach, such as using green technologies and procedures, or offsetting emissions associated with the services they provide.

Generali Group aims at working with suppliers and external parties who share Generali Values, committed to promoting respect of the global environment, the human rights, labour rights, safety, quality and any factors which contribute to the overall welfare of society.

To this end we have selected an external provider that will ensure an impartial assessment of our Suppliers’ commitment on ESG matters, identifying potential areas of improvement for the Supplier, in order to strengthen our partnerships, sharing the same values.
