Supply chain

In accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Finance, the group companies have established a complex verification process for suppliers. Financial documents, company registration documents and bank accounts are reviewed to reject unreliable service providers. We have also introduced a procurement policy, tendering procedures, controlling procedures and legal procedures aimed at minimizing any unlawful practices, violations of the law, corruption and fraud as well as other negative consequences of non-compliance within the Group. In addition, all procurement processes at Allegro.pl and Ceneo.pl are based on integrated IT systems that ensure full transparency of compliance with the procedures.

We have introduced a system for corporate governance, risk management and compliance across all Allegro operations. It spans operational standards, corruption prevention, compliance with the competition law, preventing conflict of interest, information and data protection, preventing unlawful discrimination and protection of the company property and know-how.

Our system extends to not only the regulations relevant to Allegro but also the terms of cooperation with suppliers: the purchasing policy and additional requirements for suppliers, including the Suppliers Code of Conduct and the Questionnaire for Suppliers and Business Partners for every key supplier (i.e. a supplier whose yearly contract exceeds PLN 100,000). Following the guidelines of the Ministry of Finance, Group companies have introduced a complex verification process for choosing suppliers. Reviewing financial documents, company registration documents and bank accounts makes it possible to reject service providers whose credentials raise concerns.
