Procurement in FLSmidth

The main function of the FLSmidth procurement unit is to support execution departments across FLSmidth, negotiate agreements and facilitate efficient and socially responsible purchasing.

 

Sourcing in FLSmidth

We offer global business opportunities for our suppliers given that FLSmidth supplies cement and mining plants and equipment worldwide and has a physical presence in more than 50 countries. We buy from large number of global as well as local suppliers every year.

We value our suppliers and we are confident that they contribute significantly to our business and our customer satisfaction.

Our procurement departments together with quality departments carry out supplier development projects with existing as well as new suppliers. The goal of such development programs is to enable suppliers to provide the best value in relation to the total cost of procured goods.

FLSmidth is constantly searching for new supply partners worldwide.

Please go to How To Apply section if you want to offer us your products and services.

 

Responsible Sourcing

We depend on a stable supply of goods and services from a global network of suppliers. In addition to ensuring the quality of the products we buy, one of the objectives of our procurement unit is to ensure the quality of each supplier in terms of sustainability.

Living up to our expectations will involve, among other things, the need for any supplier to honour and respect human rights. The FLSmidth 'code of supplier conduct' reflects our commitment to the UN Global Compact and conveys the message that we expect suppliers to respect human rights, follow ILO-standards and national legislation. The code also addresses anti-corruption and environmental protection.

We see ourselves as facilitators who help suppliers enhance their standards and performance through a sustainable approach to business conduct.

The FLSmidth commitment to sustainability is guided by the UN Global Compact which we joined in 2008. Since 2010, we have reported on our continuous improvements in terms of responsible labour practices, reduction of environmental impact, anti-corruption, and human rights.
