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 requirements and payment processes, as well as the standards we require of our suppliers.
We seek to ensure that the conduct of our suppliers reflect our own commitment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our human rights self-assessment toolkit allows us to better identify and assess potential risks and initiate proactive engagement with suppliers and other stakeholders.

Dialogue
All supply contracts within our organisation are assigned to a BHP Billiton manager or supervisor as the single point of contact. This ensures that a consistent approach to regular reporting and communications is 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.
We seek to utilise local suppliers and support these suppliers in enhancing community development opportunities.
