“We are very pleased to have launched the second class of the ELITE Leonardo Lounge: this is a further step forward in the realization of the sustainable development model that we are proposing to our best suppliers with the LEAP2020 Program. Thanks to the skills and tools offered by the ELITE Leonardo Lounge, suppliers will be able to accelerate that qualitative and dimensional leap necessary to be more competitive on the markets ”, underlines Marco Zoff, Leonardo's Chief Procurement & Supply Chain Officer.

The ELITE Leonardo Lounge, a model developed in co-design to meet the specific needs of the best companies in the Leonardo supply chain, allows suppliers who decide to enter the program to structure their growth and expansion plans that require high transversal skills , especially in terms of international development and internal organizational structure.

The initiative is part of the optimization and strengthening of the supply chain that Leonardo started in the 2018 with the LEAP2020 (Leonardo Empowering Advanced Partnership) program in line with the objectives of the Business Plan. The purpose of LEAP2020 is to make the supplier base on some high-impact categories more solid and sustainable, contributing to their qualitative and dimensional growth; to grow a selected pool of partners, more integrated into Leonardo's production ecosystem and able to innovate and compete also on international markets, consolidating centers of excellence on some technologies.

ELITE is the international platform of the London Stock Exchange Group born in the Italian Stock Exchange in the 2012 in collaboration with Confindustria, which aims to accelerate the growth of companies through an innovative path of organizational and managerial development aimed at making already deserving companies even more competitive, more visible and more attractive to investors globally.
