Sai Life Sciences Sustainability Report 2021

34 Working with local suppliers We are consciously working on mitigating risks, learning from the challenges faced during the peak of the pandemic, with a clear goal of making the procurement process sustainable to reliably meet customer expectations. The aim is to spread our risk by simultaneously cultivating local suppliers for our key projects. The plan is to de-risk up to 30% of our key projects with 100% of the requirements getting met locally. An additional 30% of the projects would be supported with 50% of supplies getting procured from local suppliers. A similar shift is proposed in the area of capital equipment procurement, where close to 55% of our procurement would be 100% sourced from local sources.
