Our priorities
Our suppliers are key drivers of rail production and mobility, powering a sector that showcases French excellence. The partnership between SNCF Group and its suppliers is built on four core pillars.
Safety and risk management
Safety drives everything we do in procurement. Our Group Procurement Department actively monitors quality and safety across suppliers, while working closely with partners to support and address their needs.
Competitiveness
By strengthening the long-term performance of our procurement processes, we optimize operating costs. Our guiding principles: buy less, buy better, buy smarter, buy greener, and source closer to home—for lasting value.
Decarbonization and circular procurement
The goods and services we buy account for the majority of our greenhouse gas emissions, making their decarbonization a top priority. To drive progress, we integrate carbon-related criteria into our tender assessments.
Committed to our regions, communities and environment
We recognize the impact of our operations on the world around us. That’s why we’ve adopted and published a socially and environmentally responsible procurement framework (SPASER) to strengthen and guide our approach.
We embrace a unique challenge: turning every purchasing decision into a powerful lever for sustainable, inclusive and competitive mobility. And to do so while strengthening communities.
