Responsible procurement policy
At Motel Centre-Ville, we believe that our procurement choices have a significant impact on the environment, society, and the economy. As such, we are committed to integrating responsible purchasing practices into all our business activities. This policy aims to guide our purchasing decisions to promote sustainability, ethics, and social responsibility throughout our supply chain.
Guiding principles
Reducing environmental impact: Select suppliers and products that minimize the ecological footprint, favoring sustainable materials, eco-responsible production practices, and innovative solutions that reduce waste and emissions.
Promoting ethics and human rights: Work with partners who respect workers' rights, adhere to fair labor standards, and are committed to opposing any form of forced labor, discrimination, or exploitation.
Supporting local economies: Promoting local suppliers and small businesses, to stimulate local economic development and reduce transportation distances.
Transparency and traceability: Ensure complete traceability of our supply chains to guarantee that the products and services purchased meet our ethical and environmental standards.
Key actions
Supplier Assessment: We conduct a rigorous assessment of our suppliers, taking into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. Suppliers must demonstrate their compliance with international standards on human rights, working conditions, environmental protection and anti-corruption.
Product selection: We favor products certified by recognized ecological or ethical labels, and we encourage the use of recycled or recyclable materials, as well as products designed for a long lifespan.
Collaboration and Engagement: We work closely with our suppliers to improve sustainability practices throughout the supply chain, sharing knowledge, providing training, and supporting social responsibility initiatives.
Risk reduction: We identify and manage potential risks related to our purchases, including environmental, social and governance risks, by putting in place regular control and monitoring mechanisms.
