Poste Italiane’s Vendor Rating system
The Vendor Rating (VR) supplier assessment system, implemented by Poste Italiane, was conceived in order to provide the Company with a system for measuring supplier performance and assessing them in an ESG context. This system plays an essential role within the supply chain, having as its main objective the definition and implementation of a scoring model that allows an accurate assessment of suppliers in relation to quality, safety, punctuality and environmental respect of services offered, as well as commercial conduct and correctness of billing. The Vendor Rating, therefore, allows Poste Italiane to make considered choices in the acquisition of goods and services. All suppliers who had contractual relationships with Poste Italiane during the reporting period, including framework agreements and spot tenders, were subject to evaluation through this tool.
