More than 30% of food of regional origin
More than 30% of the own brand of food are bought from local or regional suppliers (at least within the same autonomous community).
About the data
With this metric, based on the GRI 204-1 Proportion of expenditure on local suppliers standard, we aim to assess the national origin of own-brand products offered by supermarkets.
The regionalisation of suppliers ensures the marketing of fresh and local products. In addition, it allows products that are specific to a locality to be made known to the rest of the country, thus adapting to the demands of different customers. It also reduces emissions by shortening transport journeys and promotes the local economy

Methodology
We will "assign a" "YES" "to this question if:
- The company publishes the total number of commercial suppliers and local producers by autonomous community (or other territorial unit) and we can verify that the proportion of local suppliers is higher than 30%
Or:
- The company declares in some of its reports that the proportion of its regional suppliers is higher than 30% with respect to the total number of commercial suppliers.
We will assign a "NO" if:
- The company does not publish any information that quantifies its regional suppliers with respect to the total total suppliers
Or:
- The company publishes its proportion of regional suppliers and this is less than 30%.
This information can be found in any of the following reports published on the companies' website:
- Annual memory
- Report on Suppliers
- Corporate Social Responsibility Report
- Sustainability Report
- Environmental Report
- Report on Carbon Footprint
