Responsible Sourcing

Responsible Sourcing

Purchasing is identified as a key function within the company due to its significant economic, environmental, and social impact. Fundamental rules of action are established by Lecta to ensure that the professional purchasing activity is conducted correctly, in alignment with the criteria and objectives of corporate interests, the Code of Ethics, and the Integrated Management System Policy. It is required that all third parties representing the company act in accordance with the laws and ethical standards set out in the Code of Ethics.

We have also identified the value of engaging with EcoVadis, the most trusted supplier of sustainability ratings globally, to better integrate sustainability aspects into our purchasing strategy.
