Responsible procurement

A fundamental aspect of our business activities​

METRO’s ambition is to implement responsible practices within our supply chain to offer our customers products that respect workers and the environment.

It is in this perspective that the Supplier Code of Conduct for responsible procurement was updated in January 2022. In an effort to constantly improve its performance in terms of corporate responsibility, METRO actively seeks to conduct business with suppliers that share the company’s commitment and proactively integrate responsible practices into their activities.
