The FCC Group received the second "2019 Shopping Diamond" award in the "Integration of suppliers in the value chain" category of the Corporate Transportation Service from the Spanish Association of Purchasing, Contracting and Procurement Professionals (AERCE).

The initiatives rolled out by the Purchasing Department reinforce FCC's commitment to achieve a greater optimisation, quality and digitisation of processes, as well as the alignment with Innovation, one of the company's strategic objectives. The integration of JoinUp, a new provider integrated in the value chain of the FCC Group, is a reward for the Group's coordination work when managing business travel mobility, using new technologies to promote innovation in corporate mobility.

The award-giving ceremony was held on 21 November in an event attended by the most important purchasing managers. José Luis Daza, Head of Fleet and Fuel management of the Group's Purchasing Department, attended the event on behalf of FCC and received the award.

The AERCE Shopping Diamond® Awards are an initiative of the Spanish Association of Purchasing, Contracting and Procurement Professionals (AERCE), which aims to recognise the work of people in Purchasing areas and institutions for their support and development of this area.

These awards are aimed at giving more visibility to an increasingly important area in organisations, highlighting the best practices of the Purchasing departments, the strategic nature of their projects, valuing their contribution to the organisation and, evidently, the leadership capacity of the best professionals of the Purchasing area over the past year.
