PEG purchasing and operating cooperative

What PEG purchasing and operating cooperative does

P.E.G. Einkaufs- und Betriebsgenossenschaft eG (PEG) is a registered cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft) headquartered in Munich and Germany's first purchasing cooperative for clinics, healthcare and social facilities, founded in 1969. The organization aggregates purchasing volume across approximately 360 shareholders and roughly 2,100 member facilities spanning acute-care hospitals, rehabilitation centers, senior and nursing care homes, and partial/non-stationary care operators, plus an emerging childcare vertical. Revenue is generated through procurement margins and supplier rebates on negotiated contracts, fee-based consulting under individual service contracts, subscription fees on its cloud-based PEG-BOS procurement and PEG-INVOICE accounts-payable platforms, and continuing-education fees at PEG Akademie.

PEG's product portfolio covers the full operational stack of a healthcare facility: strategic procurement management, catering management, technical management (medical and building technology), hygiene management (cleaning and textile supply), digital procurement and invoicing (PEG-BOS, PEG-INVOICE), IT/cyber-security consulting, and the PEGreen sustainability initiative (launched 2021) which delivers CSRD/VSME reporting, sustainability scouting, energy management, and sustainable-procurement advisory. The PEG Akademie provides in-person and online continuing education for nursing, medical, and management professionals, while the PEGaktiv member magazine sustains community engagement. PEG is geographically focused on Germany with DACH-region reach, distributing services through direct enterprise engagement, self-serve digital platforms, a digital membership portal, and recurring presence at healthcare-industry events such as ALTENPFLEGE, Hauptstadtkongress, and its own Fachsymposium Nachhaltigkeit.
