Viveo considers its suppliers as playing a fundamental role
in achieving its objectives, as well as the Company's con-
tribution to sustainable development. Therefore, it values
establishing long-term partnerships, guided by ethics and
mutual support. Many of its partners contribute with the
preparation of business plans, for example. Composed of
organizations from different sizes, sectors, and regions of
the country and the world, the company's supply chain
included, at the end of 2021, approximately 2.4 thousand
actively registered suppliers. In the manufacturing seg-
ment, approximately R$ 600 million was paid out, with
53% of this amount allocated to local suppliers, based in
states where Viveo maintains industrial operations (fac-
tories). Of this percentage, 26% correspond to suppliers
based in Santa Catarina, 23% in São Paulo, and 3% in
Minas Gerais.
Regarding distribution, our total purchase volume exceed-
ed the R$ 4.2 billion mark, with approximately 80% of this
amount directed to the acquisition of medicines and 20%
to the acquisition of medical materials. In 2021 Viveo had
more than 170 suppliers in the distribution sector.

Composed of organizations
of different sizes, sectors and
regions of the country and
the world, the company's
supply chain amounted to 2.4
thousand suppliers in 2021.
When hiring suppliers of goods and services, the company carries out a rigorous evaluation pro-
cess, which critically evaluates environmental, labor, legal, tax, administrative, and labor safety
aspects 15. In addition to the analysis of documentation proving legal regularity, all contracts
signed with suppliers include clauses that prohibit the use of child, forced, or slave labor, as well
as practices characteristic of corruption. Suppliers are periodically evaluated for decision-making
regarding their maintenance or replacement in the Viveo supply chain.
15 In the medical-hospital segment, the company also follows high standards of safety and quality of the products
it distributes, following compliance with all the determinations of the health authorities and the certifications
required by its customers.
