Suppliers

In consideration of its CSR approach and its signing of the “Responsible Purchases Charter” in February 2016, Hub One equally considers its suppliers to be stakeholders in its performance, and fosters special relationships with them in this regard.

The three guidelines of our purchasing policy

GUIDELINE 1: QUALITY AT THE BEST PRICE AND IN THE BEST TIME

Purchasing the best quality products and services at the best price and in the best time means contributing to improving the profitability, performance and satisfaction of the Group:

  • Work on collating needs enables better anticipation, grouping and standardisation, for more precise definition of the products and services expected.
  • Next, knowledge of the market and its players, and the different forms of contracts proposed, make it possible to optimise costs, quality and lead times (for contracting and delivery) in order to best meet our customers’ requirements under optimum conditions.
  • Lastly, the negotiations conducted for all invitations to tender make it possible to purchase at the right price and for the right needs within time frames in line with the expectations of buyers.

GUIDELINE 2: SUPPLIER RELATIONS

Consequently, considering our suppliers as key contributors to our performance means that we necessarily establish special relationships with them. The attention paid to supplier relations is manifested both in the choices made following invitations to tender, and in the monitoring of their services, in particular through assessment of their performance.

Hub One in this way maintains a varied but judiciously dimensioned panel of suppliers, who all share values based on respect for people, security and the environment, and who are capable of intervening at any time with global mastery of the constraints, while leveraging innovation and sharing know-how.

Lastly, dialogue with suppliers by means of regular meetings, along with dedicated buyers per purchase segment or entity, contribute to the maintaining and sharing of common requirements and values, and to balanced and lasting relationships of quality.

GUIDELINE 3: RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING

As part of the relationship we have with our suppliers, direct stakeholders in our company, supporting them in a dynamic of progress and continuous improvement in terms of CSR enables Hub One to consolidate its position as a responsible contracting client, and co-construct at their side the products and services suited to its quality requirements.

Likewise, the desire to achieve the highest level of performance in CSR is manifested in concrete actions. These include:

Promoting ethics in our practices and rendering secure the purchasing and procurement processes
Limiting the environmental impact of products and services throughout their life cycle
Reducing health and social risks
Increasingly stimulating the economic fabric and the spirit of innovation through ever stronger collaboration with local SMEs
Encouraging actions of solidarity

Supplier mediation

As part of its CSR approach and in its capacity as signatory of the Responsible Purchasing Charter in February 2016, Hub One has designated an internal mediator to guarantee compliance with the fundamental principles of the Charter, and fair processing.

With the establishment of the mediator, Hub One wishes to favour mediation with its suppliers in the event of non-compliance with the Charter’s principles.

The internal mediator has a central role in the mediation between Hub One and its suppliers for handling any difficulties arising out of the contract.

To this end, suppliers can directly contact and call upon the Hub One mediator by filling in the form at the following link:

 

The procedure will then be automatically triggered and transmitted to the Hub One internal mediator, and the parties concerned will be brought together to resolve the difficulties encountered.  

  • In what cases can complaints be brought before the ombudsman?
  • When payment conditions are not respected
  • When negotiations and contractual clauses are imbalanced
  • When confidentiality is compromised
  • When contracts are not respected
  • When the rules for tendering for and allocating contracts are not respected
  • When there is insufficient transparency of the purchasing rules, processes and policy
