Purchasing policy

At CEJN, our purchasing activities are guided by a commitment to long-term partnerships, sustainability, risk mitigation, competitiveness, and growth. We carefully select suppliers based on their willingness and ability to:
  • Share our core values
  • Take social and environmental responsibility
  • Comply with our Code of Conduct
  • Support our business objectives and strategic ambitions
  • We value supplier relationships that are built on these fundamental principles and characterized by ethical and professional conduct, aiming for long-term and mutually successful collaborations.

Commitment to Sustainability and Continuous Improvement

We prioritize suppliers who demonstrate:
  • Strong goal achievement
  • Measurable progress and continuous improvement
  • A proactive approach to sustainability
  • Our long-term goal is to develop a flexible, resilient, sustainable, and competitive supplier network that can grow alongside CEJN and support our future success.
We view supplier relationships as partnerships—much like a marriage—where careful selection is essential. Ending a partnership is often costly, which is why we strive for stable, long-term relationships based on the principles outlined above.

Keys to Success

At CEJN we achieve our purchasing goals by:
  • Closely monitoring market trends, regulatory changes, and customer behavior
  • Defining clear operational targets and key performance indicators (KPIs)
  • Providing suppliers with the best possible conditions to meet our expectations
  • Ensuring our internal organization is structured, competent, and aligned with our strategies and processes
  • Minimizing deviations and driving continuous improvement
  • Conduct regular risk assessments of our supplier base and implement preventive actions to mitigate identified risks that could impact our supply chain
  • Selecting suppliers who comply with the CEJN Supplier Code of Conduct
  • and meet the requirements outlined in the CEJN Supplier Manual and Packaging Manual

CEJN’s strategic suppliers must have:
  • A quality management system certified to ISO 9001 or equivalent
