A Local Champion
Strongly Rooted in the Senegalese Economy
Based on responsible purchasing and adherence to ethical standards in accordance with our Ethics Charter and Purchasing Policy, Eramet Grande Côte reveals the extent of its supplier network: no fewer than 1,382 companies. Of these, 813 are based in Senegal, demonstrating a strong commitment to local economic development.
Dakar, the Supply Epicenter The Senegalese capital is home to the majority of local suppliers, with 600 companies based in Dakar, accounting for 75% of the total. The Thiès region ranks second, with 134 companies, while Economic Interest Groups (GIEs) represent 36 companies.
€100 million Injected into the Local Economy In 2023, Eramet Grande Côte allocated €100 million (65.275 billion CFA francs) to purchasing goods and services from its Senegalese suppliers, representing 77% of its total expenditures. This significant sum has a direct impact on the local economy. Moreover, the ITIE (Initiative for Transparent Governance of Extractive Industries) in its latest report ranks Eramet Grande Côte as the 4th largest mining contributor to the state budget.
An International Network Serving Excellence While Eramet Grande Côte prioritizes local suppliers, it remains open to the world. 40% of its purchases are made from foreign companies, primarily in South Africa, France, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. This openness allows the company to access cutting-edge technologies and specific products, while ensuring the quality and competitiveness of its operations.
A Win-Win Partnership The partnership between Eramet Grande Côte and its suppliers is based on a trusting and long-lasting relationship. By working together, the company and its partners contribute to the sustainable development of the region and the creation of shared value.
