Locality

Harness our geographic footprint and diverse network of facilities to improve access to care, build a resilient local ecosystem and contribute to economic momentum in the regions in which we operate.

Local and inclusive purchasing

Promote local and inclusive purchasing to contribute to economic development in the regions in which we operate while supporting the inclusion of the most vulnerable people in society.

This initiative means taking account of product origin and supplier practices on the inclusion of vulnerable people throughout the purchasing process, in particular when selecting suppliers, contracting and monitoring contracts. It is based on dialogue and close collaboration with partners who share these commitments.

We pay particular attention to making catering purchases locally. In France, 82% of food purchased is of French origin and 18% is from the same administrative region as that in which the facility is located.
