Procurement

In the Grupo Lactogal, procurement is more than an operational process of our activity: it is an essential instrument guided by the Purchasing Policy, which ensures ethical, transparent, and sustainable acquisitions. Each decision influences the solidity of our operations, the quality of the products we place on the market, and the impact we generate throughout our value chain.

We operate based on principles of integrity, legal compliance, fairness, and transparency, ensuring strict compliance with the law, the Code of Ethics, and internal standards. We integrate rigorous criteria into our decisions, seeking the best balance between cost, quality, service, and environmental, social, and governance impact (ESG).

Through a structured, innovative, and long-term oriented approach, aligned with the United Nations SDGs and ISO 20400 – Sustainable Procurement, we reinforce competitiveness and contribute to sustainable growth that benefits producers, partners, and communities.

Responsible partnerships and sustainable chain

We develop long-term relationships with strategic partners, based on trust, transparency, and continuous improvement. We work with suppliers who share our principles of ethics and responsibility, ensuring respect for human and labor rights, as well as responsible environmental practices.

We promote the traceability of raw materials, animal welfare, and the adoption of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in the selection and evaluation of suppliers.

In a constantly evolving global context, we continuously assess and monitor risks, strengthening operational resilience and business continuity. Responsibility in the selection and monitoring of suppliers is essential to ensure an ethical, sustainable supply chain prepared for future challenges.

Innovation, digitalization, and continuous improvement

We invest in the digitalization of procurement processes to increase transparency, streamline operations, and support data-based decisions. In parallel, we value collaboration with innovative partners capable of bringing new solutions, optimizing processes, and generating efficiency gains.

We also ensure the confidentiality and protection of supplier data, in compliance with GDPR, ensuring the responsible use of information throughout the entire procurement cycle. Innovation and technology are key factors in strengthening competitiveness, improving performance, and promoting sustainable evolution of our activity, within a framework of responsible governance and continuous improvement of procurement processes.
