(*) In 2019 it may be observed that, due to the COVID situation, the total amount contracted was lower than last year and than the recent-year trend. Nonetheless, the % of national and local purchases is higher, probably for the same reason.

4.9.3 Training of purchasing employees

In 2021, we have trained the personnel assigned to our purchasing unit in ESG aspects through specific initiatives in association with Forética, and we have implemented training on Sustainable Development Goals for all our employees.

In 2021, 105 buyers were trained in ESG issues and 92 buyers completed training actions related to the SDGs. In addition, 317 suppliers received ESG training and 344 were trained in the Supplier Code of Ethics.

Also in 2021, as a result of the inclusion of the company's ESG performance in our professionals objectives, the purchasing unit s variable remuneration includes annual ESG-related targets both as a unit and at the individual level.
