Cepsa took advantage of the meeting to introduce its suppliers to the Cepsa Energy Outlook 2030 research work, whereby the company analyzes the trends and socioeconomic models of the world and presents the future energy map in 2030, with the company's forward-looking approach.
During this year, Cepsa has viewed its work in innovation and its leadership in integrated technological development as a challenge facing all organizations, highlighting the importance of suppliers as a lever to drive new ideas and improvements in the interest of reaping mutual benefits. During the "Supplier Day" seminar, the companies Eurogruas, Navec and Línea Vertical presented the most innovative projects they have undertaken at the Cepsa facilities in San Roque.
For example, during the course of the seminar, a project was presented on the new electronic work permits and what the application of this technological innovation means for organizing industrial work, in line with Cepsa's ongoing commitment to safety, which is one of the company's fundamental values.
Through initiatives such as that held yesterday, Cepsa seeks to promote communication and dialog as key elements of working in the same direction with a shared vision and pursuing added value for both parties.
