Cooperation with suppliers is an increasingly important topic in the daily activities of companies guided by the principles of corporate social responsibility. So far, each of our companies alone was building relationships with suppliers. Purchasing issues are assigned to Enea Centrum, which is an ‘administrative centrum’ of our Group from January 2015. This will facilitate the purchasing process.
We use services and products from hundreds of suppliers every day. Three groups that are described below are the most important for our daily activities related to the generation and trade of energy:
Suppliers of key raw materials
As producers of electricity we constantly cooperate with domestic and foreign coal producers. Lubelski Węgiel „Bogdanka” S.A., Katowicki Holding Węglowy S.A., Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa S.A. and PETROKOL Sp. z o. o. companies are our main Polish suppliers. CHP Białystok uses coal from Russia. We use biomass from Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus to generate energy from biomass.
Suppliers are obliged to follow practices consistent with the objectives of the Integrated Management System for Quality, Environment and Work Safety which is binding in Enea Wytwarzanie. Furthermore, a System of Due Caution influences principles of cooperation with biomass suppliers. Issues related with principles of cooperation with suppliers are also regulated by the Code of Ethics and Code of Values.
Providers of transport services
Transport companies are also our key suppliers. Hard coal is delivered to the Power Station in Kozienice exclusively by rail. Moreover, supply of coal and biomass for CHP Bialystok also depends on the efficiency and logistical capabilities of the rail carrier.
