Our Excellence in Procurement programme
To meet the challenges of tomorrow and successfully transform our Group, our Excellence 2020 initiative includes an Excellence in Procurement programme. This strategic vision is organized around three core principles:
- our business lines
- our suppliers
- our employees
Our goals
Excellence in Procurement is designed to:
- make our suppliers and our employees safer
- grow the capabilities of our business lines and foster cooperation between the entities within SNCF Group
- raise the operational excellence and quality of our suppliers
- apply digital technology and innovation to procurement
- forge close relationships with our suppliers
The e@si platform
Our Excellence in Procurement programme inspired the e@si platform—an all-in-one portal dedicated to the buyer-supplier relationship. The e@si platform incorporates every stage of the procurement process for both buyers and suppliers.
