- In countries in the Sustainability Report area, the Generali Group has relations
with over 179,000 suppliers generating revenues of 1.7 billions of euro.
- There has been a 5.5% decrease in the number of suppliers since 2008, particularly
due to the decrease in Europ Assistance suppliers in Germany.
- The presence of certain Europ Assistance group companies in the report area,
whose suppliers account for 78% 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.
