Group policies and practices and also
striving for continuous improvement of
the supply chain, 12 colleagues were
trained and certified in 2014. The team
is cross-functional and comprises of
representatives fromdifferent company
units. The supply chain inspectors do a
systematic follow-up of the vendor‘s
conformity with the Agreement on the
responsible Business Conduct, Supplier
Conduct Principles and the Local law
requirements.
In 2014 we changed over 35% of our suppli-
ers – currently most of them are Bulgarian
based companies. We work with our suppliers
in the spirit of collaboration and are open to
doing business with anyone who has a good
offer and is a trustworthy partner. That is the
way we do business and it helps us get better
prices, better products and deliver better per-
formance. We aim to always raise awareness,
identify potential risks and share best practic-
es with our partners.
In compliance with the requirements of Tele-
Marketplace
31
nor Group regarding systematic, risk-based
activities for observation of the supply process,
we apply a clear and transparent model of
supplier assessment. Based on its results, the
company draws up a plan for the identification
and decrease of the main supply-related risks,
thus ensuring the continuous improvement of
the process. The criteria for determining the
risk upon applying the Supplier Conduct Prin-
ciples, together with the instruments and the
methodology for assessment, are standard for
all enterprises within the Group.
