Our suppliers are critical partners in our commitment to operate responsibly and transparently.

We expect them to align with our standards for health, safety, human rights, environment, and community.

  • compliance

  • suitability

  • sustainability performance

Supporting local suppliers

We are committed to promoting socio-economic development in the communities where we operate, including supporting local suppliers where feasible.

Coupa for suppliers

We strongly urge all our suppliers to register on the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP).

The CSP is a free tool for suppliers to easily do business with Glencore and other customers who also use Coupa. Download the Coupa user guides for suppliers below.

Coupa Supplier Portal advantages:

  • Receive, view, and manage all Purchase Orders (PO) in a central place.
  • Create and submit electronic invoices linked to a PO.
  • View invoice processing status.
  • Update, manage, and maintain supplier information.

Frequently asked questions

Existing suppliers can email the team their Coupa queries.

For new suppliers:

  • Request your Glencore contact to submit the GZ New Supplier form in Coupa and proceed with the internal approvals.
  • Have your Know Your Counterparty (KYC) documentation ready for submission.
  • If you will be working on site, ask your site contact to submit the application for contractor accreditation.

All suppliers should submit invoices via the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP). Please refer to your Purchase Order for more information and instructions. You can download an example template for reference.

If access to the CSP is not possible (e.g. due to technical barriers), submit via the Coupa invoices email address. 

 

When submitting an invoice, please ensure the quantity and price match the unit of measure of the Purchase Order. As an example, if the Purchase Order is based on days and daily rate, an invoice based on hours and hourly rate will incur an error.
