XEAL is continuing with its transformation plan

• The company will start the digital transformation of its purchasing process in September
• This initiative IS ALIGNED with the Agenda España Digital 2025, the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, and the Galician Digital Strategy 2030 of the Xunta de Galicia.

Xallas Electricidad y Aleaciones, XEAL, is continuing to progress with its plan to transform the company and, in this regard, plans to start the digital transformation of its procurement process this month.

And it does so following the recommendations of the European Union, the Spanish Government and Galicia's autonomous government (Xunta de Galicia), in line with many of the world's most competitive and fastest-growing companies.

The digitalization of companies is a priority in the Spain Digital Agenda 2025 and a challenge included in the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. It is also part of one of the 7 strategic axes of the Galician Digital Strategy 2030 of the Xunta de Galicia.

To address this transformation, XEAL has chosen a first-class technology that is widely used by large Spanish companies, including a third of the IBEX.

María Couto, Corporate Director of XEAL, is categorical in stating that "digitalization is, together with Corporate Social Responsibility, ESG policies and our investment plan, another of the company's priorities".

"According to the latest Digital Economy and Society Index ," María Couto continued, " published by the European Union in 2020, Spain is evolving positively in connectivity and digital public services, but not in the same way in the integration of digital technology in companies, and at XEAL we believe that, without a doubt, digitalization is a fundamental pillar for increased competitiveness".

XEAL committed to invest 28 million euros for the 2019-2024 period, in line with its four strategic axes: maximum commitment to safety and health in the performance of its workers' activities; respect for the environment and compliance with environmental regulations; long-term care and maintenance of assets; and greater efficiency and productivity for enhanced competitiveness. The investments are following the planned schedule.
