Supply chain has strategic importance in our profitability, growth and path to realise our vision.
To meet our global needs, we have purchasing offices in 8 countries and a dynamic purchasing organisation structure with 200 employees. As of 2018, our total procurement volume has reached € 3 billion, with material supply from 1800 direct sources in 53 countries as well as indirect and investment purchases.
Our Supplier Transparency Project (BTP-Business Transparency Project) carried out in collaboration with our suppliers to raise awareness on sustainability was awarded “Best Contribution to Responsibility” at 2017 Procurement Management Awards organised by ProcureCon and the Chartered Institue of Procurement & Supply (CIPS), which assesses the best procurement practices in Europe. As part of the BTP (Business Transparency Project) initiated with the support of GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and completed in 2016, 12 suppliers were asked to produce sustainability reports with an aim to increase their corporate sustainability performances, improve their skills in producing such reports and present their work in the international arena.
Supplier Innovation
Our Purchasing and R&D departments spearhead the organisation of innovation and technology days in collaboration with universities in order to promote our suppliers’ awareness of and involvement in innovation.

Supplier Code of Conduct Principles
Ensuring the principles of responsible purchasing policy in our supply chain is important to us. Suppliers must complice the principles stated in policy or demonstrate their commitment via compliance with their own code of conduct or company policies that embrace these standards. Arçelik reserves the right to conduct audits or assessments to ensure supplier's compliance and will take appropriate steps regarding our collaboration with our suppliers if there is a reason for concern.
Work Ethics Training Programme
We created a business ethics e-training programme to effectively communicate our sustainability expectations to our suppliers.
Business Ethics Audits & Reporting
Through our business ethics audits, we monitor the compliance of our suppliers with our responsible purchasing policy at the production site and support them for their improvement.
Quality Criteria for Suppliers
Our suppliers must comply with certain quality assessment criteria. To ensure this, we provide training to our suppliers and monitor their compliance.
Environmental Criteria for Suppliers
We follow the European Union directives as well as the existing legal regulations to safeguard the continually deteriorating ecological balances. We encourage all our collaborators in the supply chain to adopt this approach.
We pay special attention to continue our operations with an aim to produce quality, innovative, cost-effective and environmentally friendly products with a consideration of our social and environmental responsibilities. We expect our suppliers to work with the same awareness, supporting them in their efforts to gain it.
Supplier Days
We have been organising supplier days since 2011 with an aim to strengthen our communications with our suppliers, who we regard as key partners in our procurement chain and as our stakeholders, and to share our strategies, procurement policy and expectations.
Supplier Development Programme
We endeavour to support our suppliers’ development. In doing so, we not only gain competitive advantage but also help increase quality while reducing costs.
We deliver productivity projects for our auxiliary industries based on a "shared gain" model, provide development with a win-win principle and facilitate an increase in supplier quality with a goal-oriented management.
