COMPLIANCEWITHTHE CODE OF CONDUCT
TheNHCode of Conduct has been included in every approved supply contract signed by thePurchasingDepartment since 2012. It includes an acceptance
clause in the selection phase for suppliers who are approved for participation in the next stages of adjudication, as exclusion criterion. In 2013, 173 codes

suppliers’ environmental commitments and policies. This questionnaire is part of the global evaluation within the supplier approval process.
NH SUSTAINBILITY CLUB
In line with the new strategic guidelines established in 2103 for the next five years, we are working on renegotiating the NHSustainability Club in order
to align its mission, objectives and results with the Strategic Plan.
COPERAMA, THE FIRST PROCUREMENT PLATFORM INTHE SECTOR
Coperama continues growing as a procurement platform with the addition of 159 new customer establishments and expanding the purchase areas
covered by contracts with suppliers. Thus, in 2013 we’ve added the FF&E area (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment) to the already existing F&B (Food
and Beverage) and OSE (Operating Supplies and Expenses) areas. The platform now has 338 suppliers with signed contracts.
InMay of 2013, Hostelería Unida, S.A. left Coperama as shareholder and Grupo Husa establishments left Coperama as customers.
At the closing of the 2013 financial year, Coperama had
500
establishments:
452
hotels, 45 restaurants and 3 collectives
Regarding the number of rooms captured (indicator of the growth of Coperama for the hotel division, which constitutes theCompany’smain activity), the
procurement platformpracticallymaintained the number of rooms despite the effect of Husa’s exit. The loss of rooms was compensated by the capturing
of other new ones, for a total figure of 45,824.
Actions andTools
•
Coperama organises a biennial congress in which customers and suppliers unite in order to analyse the sector’s trends, foster networking and discuss
the optimisation of the procurement function. The II Coperama Congress will be held in 2014.
•
After its presentation last year in 2013, a Coperama electronic catalogue was implemented as a tool for communications, loyalty and procurement for
all its partners.
•
The procurement platform has 140 signed contracts with suppliers who can issue electronic invoices through the BS Invoice platform for Coperama
establishments. In order to facilitate the e-billing system for these customers, the BS Invoice platform was integrated with the main transaction
platforms in our country (Edicom, Seres, Voxel and Eurobit).
