Suppliers
Who are they?
Our suppliers include businesses local to our operations, as well as large international suppliers in specialised equipment.
Interests and Concerns
Our suppliers are interested in our supply agreements and payment processes, as well as the standards we require of our suppliers.
Dialogue
All contract work within our organisation is to be assigned to a BHP Billiton manager or supervisor as the single point of accountability. This ensures that regular reporting and communications are maintained between the Company and our suppliers.
In accordance with our HSEC Management Standards, suppliers must identify potential HSEC risks associated with their operations and minimise any adverse consequences of these risks.
Where possible, we seek to utilise local suppliers and support these suppliers in enhancing community development opportunities.
