Partners & Suppliers 

Sharing values and approaches

We are eager to cooperate with partners and suppliers worldwide who support our business operations in meeting challenging targets of profitability, growth, innovation and sustainability.

We expect our partners and suppliers to provide reliable quality and services, we encourage inventiveness and flexibility in our supply chain.

We are organised into three global and three regional procurement units:

• Direct Procurement involves raw materials, packaging and other goods connected to the production of a product.
• Indirect Procurement is about goods and services indirectly connected to the production of a product, like technical equipment or travel services.
• Logistics Procurement takes care of warehousing and transportation services.
• Three Regional Procurement units are active in Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas.

With a longstanding tradition of clarity in negotiations and lean qualifying processes we offer an interesting suppliers’ finance program that provides access to additional funding without the need for additional credit facilities.
