Supplier qualification

ERG qualifies all suppliers who handle a purchase volume exceeding 100.000 euros per year. It also qualifies all the suppliers operating on site from an HSE point of view, regardless of the type or amount of the activity.

The process can only begin if Procurement sends an invitation through the Ariba web portal asking for the compilation of a questionnaire referring to the relevant product category.

In order to begin collaborating with ERG, each supplier must pass the following evaluation phases, according to the level of criticality of the product category: ethical-reputational, technical, economic-financial, HSE (if applicable).

At the end of the evaluation process, ERG can decide whether or not to qualify the candidate for a period ranging from one to three years and for an annual threshold not exceeding 30% of its turnover.
