Sustainability

Across the Entire Supply Chain

Supply chain has strategic importance in our profitability, growth and path to realise our vision.

Global Responsible Purchasing Policy
Contact

To meet our global needs, we have purchasing offices in 8 countries and a dynamic purchasing organisation structure with 200 employees. As of 2020, our total procurement volume has reached approximately € 3 billion, with material supply from 2000 direct sources in 55 countries as well as indirect and investment purchases.

Arçelik strives to develop the best strategy and collaboration model in line with its expanding manufacturing lines and vision to position itself as a global brand. In this sense, a category-based purchasing organization was established to make use of scale economy. Category managers specialize in their relevant categories and conduct cost improvement projects as well as projects that create value. The purchasing organization keeps track of many elements which may have an impact on costs including the regulations on environment, fluctuations in commodity prices, local and global economic developments, supplier sustainability risks and customs regulations.

The prices of purchased materials are determined through price analyses and tenders. Both methods are used to set fair prices with the suppliers. The pricing process is based on economic parameters including the workforce, raw material trends, electricity, fuel and inflation.
