Supply chain management
As part of our environmental and social commitments, Aleatica Mexico continues to strengthen the end-to-end management of its value chain.
Because a significant share of our activities is carried out through contractors and third parties, we have reinforced our internal framework to ensure that our supply chain operates to the highest standards. This framework comprises:
- Procurement and Contracting Norm
- Code of Ethics and Conduct
- Supplier Code of Conduct
- Anti‑Corruption Policy
This new standard sets out selection criteria, purchase categories and types, and marks a milestone in supply chain management, as it is better aligned to operational needs and contributes to risk mitigation.
During 2024 we worked with 1,017 suppliers, 98.64 percent of whom were local.
Principles of our procurement and contracting process
Competition
Publicity, equal treatment, and non‑discrimination
Confidentiality
Effectiveness
Efficiency
Transparency
Documentation
Sustainability
Fair competition
Conflict‑of‑interest avoidance
Negotiation
Supplier selection and assessment
Our goal is to maintain a supplier register that meets robust criteria aligned with our values and standards.
We therefore apply a threshold based on five key dimensions that enable comprehensive evaluation and ensure responsible, sustainable practices:
As a cornerstone of supply chain management, our Sustainability team conducts in-depth assessments to identify potential impacts or risks.
Supplier evaluation process
Identify
Share the relevant questionnaire
Review responses
Send the questionnaire to the supplier
Forward the completed questionnaire
Review and sign
File the certificate
Following the update to the Procurement and Contracting Standard,
we also revised the questionnaires used in supplier assessments. We now have seven, each with greater detail on service type and ESG topics relevant to the Company:
Pavements
Structures
Steel safety devices
Studies
Signage
Desilting
Others
Each questionnaire yields an ESG risk level (High, medium or low) for every supplier or contractor. This in turn informs the delegation of authority thresholds for contract approval and signature.
