PURCHASING JOINING FORCES WITH SMES Aéroports de Paris is a member of the SME pact and a signatory to the inter-company mediation charter, which promotes good practices between large companies and SMEs. In 2014 we were awarded France’s Responsible Supplier Relations label. All suppliers may respond to calls for tenders, and we develop partnerships with local SMEs. In 2014, more than 150 SMEs and start-ups took part in the fifth annual Greater Roissy “Rencontres d’affaires” business event that we organise together with the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the Seine-et-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-d’Oise départements and in partnership with the Île-de-France regional chapter of the Compagnie des dirigeants et acheteurs de France (French buyers association). We also participate in the Plato network for sponsoring and experience sharing with SMEs. SUPPORTING INNOVATION The Innovation division, in liaison with the purchasing department, is the one-stop shop for innovative SMEs and start-ups that want to make themselves known. We often collaborate with them to develop and test new services. This allows companies to assess their innovations in a real-life situation and adapt them according to users’ needs.
(1) French national network of sheltered workshops.
Our CSR objectives, which we pursue throughout the purchasing process, fall into six categories: ethics, transparency, environment, social, solidarity purchasing and contribution to the local economic fabric. An ethics code defines the rules governing relationships with suppliers. Social and environmental impact is integrated far upstream. Technical specifications include environmental and social clauses, and from time to time we carry out employment audits in advance of signing service contracts. SOLIDARITY PURCHASING We aim to increase purchases from the sheltered sector from €500,000 in 2014 to €600,000 in 2015. The GESAT(1) helps us to identify entities that might be able to bid on new supply contracts. We also include integration clauses in construction projects. The companies awarded contracts on the “New Takeoff” project at Paris-Orly, for example, must reserve 25,000 hours for unemployed people.
