Working with local suppliers

We aim to build strong, long-term relationships with a broad range of suppliers, who provide a wide variety of goods and services to our business.

Glencore requires all suppliers to be competitive in the products or services they provide. While we do not set quotas or percentage targets around local procurement, we acknowledge there are many benefits from working with suppliers located in the regions where we operate.

Our procurement and supply teams work closely with local and regional businesses.

Working with us

Each year, our operations work with thousands of suppliers across Australia to ensure we source quality products and services required to keep our mining operations running smoothly.

We value our suppliers and are proud of the contribution they make to our company.

Our suppliers are important partners in our commitment to operate safely, efficiently and responsibly. Through our Global Supplier Standards , we set out our expectations for ethical business practices, safety and health requirements, adherence to human rights legislation and environmental stewardship.
