Asociación Española de Profesionales de Compras, Contratación y Aprovisionamientos (AERCE) is Spain’s professional association for procurement, contracting, and supply management. It brings together purchasing leaders and practitioners from private and public organizations to advance the strategic role of procurement in business performance and governance.
AERCE provides training and professional development, practical guidance, research, and forums for networking and knowledge exchange. Its work promotes best practices in areas such as ethical and sustainable sourcing, supplier management, cost and risk control, and digitalisation of purchasing processes. By fostering standards and collaboration across industries, AERCE supports more resilient, efficient supply chains—including for sectors like chemicals where responsible sourcing, compliance, and operational reliability are critical.
Iberdrola uses generative AI to enhance procurement efficiency, automating bid evaluation and reducing process time, reinforcing its commitment to digitalisation and sustainability.
