- In the countries within the Sustainability Report area, the Generali Group has
relations with around 163,600 suppliers, bearing expenses for more than 2 billion
euros.
- The number of suppliers increased by 5.6% compared with 2009.
- The presence of certain Europ Assistance group companies in the report area,
whose suppliers account for 79% of the total, is at the root of the high number
of suppliers. This also depends on the specific activity undertaken, which envisages
the provision of various types of service that require the availability of suppliers
(car hire companies, roadside assistance providers, plumbers, smiths, electricians,
carpenters, clinics, hospitals, diagnostic centres, analysis laboratories, ambulances,
doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, etc.) throughout the country.
- It is partly for this reason that most Group suppliers offer services connected
with Group business, while a much smaller number of suppliers provide various
services in support of company businesses (cleaning, maintenance, transport, etc.)
and the supply of goods.
