Suppliers
One of the great pillars, and success, of our organization is our network of suppliers
At Sonae MC we continuously invest in a close relationship in order to guarantee high quality products and services. Specifically for private label suppliers, we assume the dual role of evaluating and qualifying the partners who can work with Sonae MC and also find improvement points in their operations that ensure greater efficiency and a more sustainable future. Strengthening partner relationships with our suppliers is a factor in maximizing trust, respect and mutual value generation.
