What we do

Our supply chain is a valued part of all our projects. Together, we work collaboratively to deliver on our goal of world-class infrastructure and ensure everyone on our sites goes home safely.

We hold our supply chain to a high standard. It is our policy to procure goods and services competitively, ethically, sustainably and efficiently in accordance with all relevant laws, regulations and licenses. There is a minimum requirement that our supply chain partners must meet to join our network. Our five values are integral to our actions, and we expect our supply chain partners to adhere to those same values. You can find more information on these standards, and how to join our supply chain, in the FAQs section further down the page.

Additionally, we expect all partners to adhere to our Terms and Conditions, Code of Conduct and Anti-Slavery statement. Copies of these documents can be found here:
