“Cost Savings Award”
A.Raymond, Faurecia Clean Mobility and Modine were recognised for their exceptional cost-savings performance (sales, processes, techniques, logistics, etc.) and their 2018 proposals for a cost-reduction portfolio in line with Groupe PSA targets.
“Corporate Social Responsibility Award”
Plastic Omnium was rewarded for its remarkable measures based on four criteria: environmental performance, social performance, ethics, and control of the subcontracting chain.

The event is also an opportunity to praise the performance and industrial excellence of supplier plants that meet the Group’s quality requirements, from producing the vehicle to handing over the keys to the end customer.
Yann Vincent, Executive Vice-President, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, and Michelle Wen, Executive Vice-President, Global Purchasing and Supplier Quality, offered special congratulations to 16 supplier plants receiving the award for the third year in a row.

Along with these awards, Maxime Picat, Executive Vice-President, Europe, presented a European market focus and thanked the winning suppliers for their past and future commitment.
Finally, Michael Lohscheller, CEO of Opel Vauxhall, stressed the importance for each partner to improve the performance of their operations, which are a key driver for achieving Groupe PSA’s objectives.
In 2017, Groupe PSA purchasing represented a total of €28 billion, of which more than €20 billion for direct parts and components which, on average, account for over 80% of a vehicle’s production cost. The Group works with a panel of more than 8,000 suppliers and encourages local sourcing in all of its production sites. French automobile production plants purchase around 50% of their supplies in France and more than 90% in Europe.
