Patria's Delivery Reliability Equals Responsibility
Defense company Patria emphasizes the resilience of its supply chains as a key aspect of its corporate responsibility. The company is building more robust supply chains and ensuring production continuity for exceptional circumstances.
Defense company Patria has defined delivery reliability as a core component of its corporate responsibility. This translates into the company's capability to ensure its products and services remain available to customers, even under exceptional circumstances. Patria is investing in building resilient supply chains and securing production continuity.
Beyond traditional aspects of corporate responsibility such as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, the defense industry places a strong emphasis on supporting societal security and preparedness. Johanna Arola, Patria's Head of Sustainability, states that for Patria, resilience is directly linked to delivery reliability, enabling customers to maintain their operational capabilities in demanding conditions.
The altered European security landscape, brought about by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has underscored the importance of crisis resilience. However, for Patria, ensuring operational capability is not a new focus but has always been central to its business.
A critical element of crisis resilience involves securing the supply chains necessary for production. The manufacturing of defense industry products relies on long, often global, supply chains, where disruptions can halt production. Patria is preparing for such scenarios by developing its procurement processes and identifying alternative supply routes for situations where normal channels may be unavailable.
