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
