<strong>Daimler</strong> 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008<br />

<strong>Daimler</strong> Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Managing sustainability / Management of supplier relations<br />

Management of supplier relations<br />

The global procurement strategy rests on three pillars:<br />

1. the ambition to achieve economies of scale worldwide<br />

2. successfully managing a global supplier base<br />

3. employing efficient processes and a tried and tested infrastructure.<br />

Because the transatlantic ties of the previous procurement organization GP&S were particularly strong in the<br />

area of processes and systems, the focus in 2008 is on creating new concepts and processes.<br />

We employ a global, performance-oriented approach in our dealings with suppliers. The focus here is on the four<br />

value drivers of quality, technology, costs, and logistics. Conduct also plays an important role, where<strong>by</strong> the<br />

pertinent guidelines are derived from our principles of social responsibility. It is therefore crucial that an open<br />

and continuous exchange takes place regarding goals, requirements, and the progress that has been made. Just<br />

as we are committed to integrity, we also expect our suppliers to behave in accordance with ethical standards.
