As part of its action to contribute to the economic and social development of the regions, Saverglass favors local supplies and long-term partnerships with SMEs. The company enters into sustainable partnerships with its strategic suppliers (raw materials, mould makers, R&D, packaging, distribution, etc.) based on mutual respect, transparency, information-sharing, and regular communication. By incorporating ethical and environmental clauses into its contracts, Saverglass expects its partners to share its vision of economic activity that respects the environment, generates strong financial performance, and is socially responsible.
A virtuous dynamic accompanies this approach in the employment market at the regional level of each Group site, whose employer image carries significant pulling power.

To consolidate its responsible purchasing approach with its clients, Saverglass fulfills its social and environmental commitments. Audits were conducted in 2020 by ethical audit bodies. The results obtained were used to put improvement plans in place. Per its commitment to the United Nations Global Compact, the Group has established an anti-corruption policy.
