Chief Executive Antonio Filosa said supplier partnerships were important to bringing products to market and improving the company’s competitiveness. Chief Purchasing Officer Monica Genovese, who hosted the gathering, highlighted quality, innovation and value creation among the qualities of the honourees. Stellantis described collaboration with suppliers as central to carrying out its strategic priorities and creating value for customers.
