A letter from Vauban to Louvois – 17th July 1665
A sustainable purchasing policy aims to integrate responsible practices that respect the environment.
To this end, we respect certain principles and commitments.
We integrate sustainable criteria into every stage of our purchasing process, from identifying needs to evaluating suppliers and selecting products and services.
We pay particular attention to the environmental impact of our purchases, favouring products and services with a low carbon footprint.
This minimises water consumption and preserves biodiversity.
We ensure that our suppliers respect these fundamental rights and promote diversity and equal opportunities. We consider the economic viability of our purchases, encouraging local suppliers and maintaining competitive criteria.
which allow us to improve health and safety at work for our employees and port users.

We are developing partnerships with our suppliers, based on mutual respect, transparency and commitment to sustainable development.
We also believe in the importance of raising awareness and training our staff in the challenges of sustainable development and responsible purchasing.
This allows us to encourage collective awareness of the economic and environmental issues surrounding us.
We maintain open dialogue with our suppliers to encourage them to adhere to our sustainable purchasing principles and to foster innovation.
Regular evaluation of our sustainable purchasing policy using monitoring indicators enables us to identify areas for improvement and adjust our practices accordingly.
We also support the circular economy by promoting the reuse, recycling and repair of products. As Brittany’s leading commercial port, we have a responsibility to work closely with our suppliers and teams to contribute to a more sustainable future for the region.
