Suppliers Relationship

At CMA CGM, procurement is a question of shared affinities. We seek suppliers who share the same values as us: boldness, imagination, initiative and integrity, because we want the shipping business to be a model of sustainable prosperity, not just for our customers but for all our stakeholders too.

How We Select our Suppliers

We select suppliers based on cost performance, flexibility, innovation and the quality of their service, which we believe are the keys to growth and excellence. We want to exceed our customers’ expectations by procuring quality goods and services that optimize their shipping and transport journey right across the supply chain. Our procurement experts anticipate market trends in key spending categories and leverage this knowledge to develop sourcing strategies with the Group’s decision-makers.

How We Support our Suppliers

To ensure we deliver the best services and products and reduce the total cost of ownership, we implement continuous improvement programs with our suppliers and as a responsible company, we always make sure that our procurement transactions comply with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as our own internal policies and procedures, while reducing the administrative burden in the process.
