For PT it is essential to create conditions to promote the alignment between its principles and those of its suppliers, believing that only in this way lasting partnerships can be created with mutual advantages and beneficial results for society and environment.

Procurement Model

In order to optimise the acquisition of goods and services, contributing decisively to the creation of competitive differentiating advantages, PT defined a Procurement Model that centralizes in a common and integrated way all the acquisitions of goods and services for the PT group companies.

The creation of value is obtained through an extended and transversal relationship with each supplier and the incorporation of specific know-how from the procurement areas in the strategic decisions that influence acquisitions.

The Procurement Model is composed of three big phases – Planning, Market Consultation, and
Management and Monitoring:

The Procurement Model is governed by solid principles in order to obtain each time more and better results for all process intervenients. In this way, teamwork, an attitude of continuous improvement, the observance of ethical principles and transparency inherent to the Procurement function, and respect for environment and human rights are key prerequisites of the adopted model.

Transparency and control of undue practices in the procurement process

Apart from being governed by PT’s Code of Ethics and Sustainability and Social Responsibility Policy, the application of PT’s Procurement Model to the bargaining relationships with suppliers is translated into the following practices divulged and verified with all interested parties.
