quality.
When presenting the Best Plant Award, Patrick Labilloy,

quality, highlighting it as a priority and prerequisite for all of
the Group’s products and services. Ensuring highest quality will
allow PSA Group to become a top three player in its sector by 2018,
with the ultimate ambition of taking the number one spot.
PSA Group honoured the excellent results obtained by suppliers
in the following categories:

This category recognises suppliers for their quality of service,
as measured by their on-time, on-spec delivery of spare parts to
the dealer network, which has a direct effect on customer

facilities (representing approximately 5% of the Group's panel
of suppliers) with the Best Plant Award in recognition of their
manufacturing excellence, which is enabling the Group to meet its
quality standards, from producing the vehicle to handing over the
