Desjardins builds business relationships with suppliers based on respect and collaboration, and with industry best practices in mind. We make it a priority to apply strict and ethical guidelines to the contract awarding procedure. Our suppliers must understand and share Desjardins's values and sustainable development efforts.
Desjardins uses a strict supplier selection process while maintaining a certain degree of agility with regards to the value of acquisitions and level of risk.
We proceed by invitation with suppliers for very specific needs. Suppliers are then selected on a scale on the basis of factors such as price, quality, innovation and social responsibility. Social responsibility can award suppliers extra points in near-tie situations.

We evaluate suppliers throughout our business relationship with them to promote transparency, engage in negotiations based on facts, redefine the client-supplier relationship and have a tool with which to measure important factors (service quality, time management, etc.). The process allows us to reach a satisfying, win-win relationship.
