Pirelli honors suppliers for innovation, sustainability

The awards ceremony was held at Pirelli’s headquarters in Milan, Italy.

Sustainability, innovation and quality of service are the key elements which Pirelli maintained as essential for the Supplier Awards 2018, the annual occasion when the company awards nine suppliers chosen from over 10,000 belonging to its global supply chain. The Supplier Awards reward those suppliers who shine for their ability to make the Pirelli supply chain even more sustainable and enhance qualitative excellence.
The awards for the suppliers who distinguished themselves over the last year were presented by Chief Purchasing Officer, Matteo Battaini and Chief Sustainability and Risk Governance Officer, Filippo Bettini, at a ceremony at Pirelli’s headquarters in Milan. The awards were given to nine suppliers in the areas of raw materials, services and machinery.
Pirelli’s efforts toward a sustainable purchasing strategy were recognized by the confirmation that Pirelli’s supply system was in compliance with the UNI ISO 20400 rule, conferred in February by SGS Italia S.p.A. — among the leading companies at the global level for inspection, verification, analysis and certification services. Pirelli is thus the first company in the automotive world to have received this confirmation of compliance.
