Pirelli believes in supporting local suppliers because of the benefits of flexibility and their ability to respond quickly to demand which results in carrying less stock.
Corporate social responsibility is key to Pirelli’s business operation and supporting local suppliers contributes to building relationships with the local business community and investing in the local economy.
“Local suppliers are agile, can move quickly and provide service on demand”, commented Alan Wilson, Engineering Manager(UK)
Pirelli’s relationships with suppliers are based on fairness, impartiality and ensuring equal opportunities for all parties concerned.
All suppliers must comply with the principles and rules of the Ethical Code (PDF).
