Brose Purchasing – Future-oriented thinking

Our employees in Purchasing work closely with suppliers to identify innovative products and technologies. From electromobility to digital processes – at Brose we focus on forward-looking approaches.

We rely on verified and conflict-free raw materials and pay attention to environmental compatibility.
Our suppliers share our values and contribute to sustainability.

We see our suppliers as strategic partners. Together we shape the future and continue to develop. We don't just think about the next purchase, but about long-term relationships.

Our suppliers play a key role in Brose's goal of achieving CO₂ neutrality by 2039. More than 90% of our CO₂ emissions are in our value chain (excluding the use phase of our products). This is where we start to drive the transformation with our suppliers, create transparency and jointly define measures for reduction activities. Respect for human rights, fair working conditions and environmental protection along our supply chains are an integral part of our global purchasing activities.

More than half of all purchasers at Brose work outside the headquarters in Bamberg – in the business divisions or regions. The high performance and competence of our employees is guaranteed everywhere, as we offer a clear and uniformly defined catalog of requirements as well as regular qualifications and further training. Personality traits and specialist skills play just as important a role as special abilities and individual strengths. An advanced office concept with modern IT equipment, flexible working hours and exemplary social and additional benefits contribute to optimal performance development.

Purchasing invests sustainably and specifically in the further development and training of its employees. An important approach here is the Purchasing Academy. The structured training program is aimed at all purchasers worldwide. The aim is to sustainably expand the skills and knowledge of our employees through courses such as negotiation, supplier management and cost analysis. In addition, we always support professional development through job rotation, talent management, coaching and mentoring.
