Responsible and collaborative procurement processes
As a signatory of the Responsible Purchasing Charter, NTN is piloting a purchasing strategy aimed at building an ethical, sustainable and successful business relationship in the long term.
NTN purchases have been part of the development of a steering tool for collaborative design with suppliers. The PRAXIS repository is now used by vehicle manufacturers and aims to consult very early on in the process with suppliers on developments designed to integrate their expertise.
NTN also participated in the Thésame/Peak Group in creating the Peak Collaborative Index, a measure of the quality of the customer-supplier relationship.
