Trading responsibly SIPLEC is committed to sourcing quality products from manufacturers with high social and ethical standards. We always seek to build fair, long-term relationships with our suppliers. E.LECLERC stores have a long-standing ambition: to offer great prices without compromising on product quality. This is why SIPLEC is extra demanding when selecting and monitoring manufacturers. From the outset, we set clear expectations for our suppliers and expect them to stick exactly to the detailed product specifications set out in our manufacturing contracts. When purchasing abroad, SIPLEC acts responsibly and sustainably, in line with the group’s policy of Corporate Social Responsibility. We also monitor our suppliers to check that they comply with our high social and ethical standards. We focus on: respect for individual rights and dignity protection of the environment promotion of sustainable growth Between two projects of similar quality, we always choose what’s best for people and the planet. SIPLEC always deals directly with manufacturers, processors and packers, refusing any kind of intermediation services. This direct approach allows us to ensure that our suppliers are operating to the highest ethical standards. Fair and lasting relationships SIPLEC seeks to build fair and lasting relationships with suppliers – and rejects shortsighted opportunism. In return, they enjoy the assurance of a long-term, profitable relationship with the entire E.LECLERC distribution network – and the consumers themselves.
