We started a truly greenfield implementation of global category management and it has been almost 4 years down the road. Time goes by fast.A few examples of global and local sourcing solutions, which mark my years at Sulzer: 2 global suppliers cover us in the area of office supply, another one helps to transfer our fleet operation into a professional fleet management. Car rental is also dominated by one global partner in close collaboration with our global travel management company.Temporary labor services are all local and getting professionalized now, several consultancy engagements, translation services, relocation services, overarching training programs or a new employee share plan admin solution have also been completed.All solutions deliver significant financial and non-financial benefits to our stakeholders.That easy?
