This label, awarded by the French public authorities via the Mediator of Enterprises and the National Purchasing Council (CNA), recognizes organizations that have demonstrated best practices in dealing with their suppliers.
Why this label is important to us
This label is not just a distinction, it reflects our concrete and lasting commitment to balanced, transparent supplier relationships based on mutual respect.
The RFAR label is based in particular on:
- The implementation of responsible purchasing practices based on the international standard ISO 20400, which integrates environmental, social and ethical criteria into purchasing decisions.
- The evaluation and continuous improvement of the quality of interactions with our suppliers, based on demanding criteria such as financial equity, the prevention of mutual dependencies, and the development of lasting relationships.
- The structuring of a professional purchasing function and a supplier relationship that values collaboration, listening and trust.
By obtaining this label, we are joining a community of committed organizations (public, large groups, ETI, SMEs, etc.) that work for greater social responsibility, economic performance and mutual respect between customers and suppliers.
What This Means in Practice for Our Partners
For our partners and suppliers, this certification is much more than a simple logo:
- An independent and public recognition of our seriousness and transparency in business relationships.
- A continuous improvement process: we have put in place processes to measure, adjust and strengthen our practices.
- An ethical and responsible commitment, in accordance with international standards in terms of responsible purchasing.
- A relationship based on trust, where economic, social and environmental issues are taken into account in a balanced way.
A Strong Signal of Our Vision
We consider relationships with our suppliers to be an essential component of our collective success. This certification officially validates our approach and confirms our desire to sustainably integrate the principles of responsible purchasing at all levels of our activity.
We thank our teams and suppliers for their commitment to this approach: together we are building fairer, more transparent and more sustainable relationships.
