The acquisition of goods and services represents, more and more, a greater responsibility for PT. Along with quality, prices and the stated periods of delivery of the contracted goods and services, PT also considers the total alignment of its suppliers with the principles of its Code of Ethics to be fundamental, namely those related to integrity, transparency, honesty, environmental preservation and respect for human rights.

In 2003, PT has created a specific company for the management of the purchasing function: PT Compras, Negociação e Consultoria, SA. This company centres the acquisitions of the Group’s companies, in compliance with the sustainable model of supplier selection and hiring, adopted in 2006.

PT also expects a conduct from its Suppliers in accordance with high ethical standards. In order to guarantee the existence of a relationship of reciprocal transparency during the purchase processes, any benefit for the Group should always be presented in the Supplier’s proposal, through a better price or service, without any offer of gifts, or any other forms of influence.
