The pursuit of efficiency in regulated environments requires a structured approach grounded in cross-functional integration, strategic alignment and consistent governance practices.

In this context, TBG took part in the 22^nd Supply Chain Marathon, held in São Paulo on April 22 and 23, presenting the topic “How to Improve Efficiency Under Law 13,303 of 2016 by Reducing Supplier Qualification Lead Time Through Cross-Functional Governance.”

During the panel, the company shared its experience integrating procurement, legal and technical areas as a key factor in accelerating supplier qualification processes while maintaining high standards of compliance, safety and control.

The discussion also covered challenges and progress in implementing digital solutions, such as the supplier qualification module on TBG’s Procurement Portal, an initiative aligned with the company’s commitment to reducing the average lead time of bidding processes.

In addition to TBG representatives, the discussion included market professionals, reinforcing the importance of enhancing operating models with a focus on balancing efficiency, governance and value creation for the supply chain.

Participation in the event reaffirms TBG’s commitment to operational excellence, transparency and the continuous improvement of its management practices.
