Material topics in 2022
- Securing of DB Group supply: Despite the sharp increases and volatility of the market prices of raw materials and goods, sharply increased inflation, supply chain disruptions and production bottlenecks, our focused supplier and risk management has enabled us to secure the supply of products and services to DB Group.
- Re-launch of DB Group’s supplier portal: With the relaunch, we have strengthened a vital level for structuring our business relationships. Designed as a continuous digital information platform, it is a central point of contact for existing suppliers and all those who would like to become one in the future. Conceived consistently from the point of view of the users, we create an intuitive and consistent user experience that simultaneously ensures the greatest possible transparency: all the information that helps to expand and improve strong strategic and collaborative cooperation, simply and conveniently on a central platform.
- DB supplier awards: At InnoTrans, the leading international trade fair for the industry, in 2022 we awarded the DB supplier award for the tenth time to companies that stood out in the competition in their market segment, who fulfill their contractual obligations in an exemplary and sustainable manner and who support us in the implementation of our Group strategy with top performances. We also presented the fourth DB Supplier Innovation Award to commend particularly innovative efforts that support our range of services, demonstrate a high degree of innovation and are also sustainable.
