AGERE reaffirms its policy of financial responsibility and business ethics by renewing its membership in the "Prompt Payment Commitment" initiative. This recognition underscores the importance of timely payments to suppliers, ensuring economic stability and fostering a more sustainable business environment.
Strict adherence to payment deadlines is essential to prevent negative consequences such as financial difficulties for suppliers, bankruptcies, unemployment, and unfair competition. Late payments lead to additional costs and instability, directly impacting the economy and trust between businesses.
By renewing this commitment, AGERE continues to contribute to a healthier economic ecosystem, promoting best practices that support business sustainability and value creation. The diploma awarded for 2025 strengthens the company's commitment to a culture of financial responsibility and market transparency.
The "Prompt Payment Commitment" initiative is promoted by the Christian Association of Businessmen and Managers (ACEGE), the Portuguese Business Confederation (CIP), the Portuguese Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry (APIFARMA), IAPMEI – Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation, Banco Santander, and the Order of Certified Accountants (OCC).
